The Great British Weather

weather is immaterial to the rider

But it makes a difference when you're dressed in work clothes and want to walk to a bike shop without drowning on the way.. or have clothes dry out in less than 3 weeks.. or go to the shops without having to add 14 layers of waterproofing and an indutrial umbrella.. or.. you get the idea :)

time to get boats people
i knew this fixed gear craze would eventually die

reminds me, i saw a middle-aged lady running around hampstead heath a while back, with an umbrella (in the rain of course). weird. although the funniest thing i've seen was a tramp on roller skates near earls court, you the old school ones where you have your own shoes and these over the top.

Had to cycle from CW to Hampsted on tuesday night. Urggh. was going to meet the girl, and see one of our friends perform. Should have been a fine, but turned up like a drowned rat.

I just bought an Endura superlight jacket, I got some nice vintage woolen Jerseys on order, short sleeve and long sleeve, I am now looking for some autumn, winter, spring all weather pants, not sure yet about how to keep my feet dry

I the idea being that I keep my work clothes in rotation between my work and the local dry cleaners and that I have the right clothes for the bike come rain or shine

the PINK SHIRT!!!!

and a desperate, soaking wet man in a sodden pink shirt is an obvious sex tourist. He'd get no service in a bike shop

Yeah.. that's the real reason I don't wear pink.. afraid I wont get served in my lbs post-rain.. :)

LBS - Lascivious Bondage Slave

i thought only people who played 'rugger' wore pink

And countless city wankers.. and 'trendies'.. and females.

And Giro d'Italia leaders/winners.

and certain prisons in the southern states of america.

the inmate's uniforms are pink. so that any escapee would be easily recognised

Unless they head for Bishopsgate.

even there a black man in a pink jumpsuit might look extraordinary..

no rain today possibly

That's gone and done it...

i've gone and put a curse on the only sunny day in august
you can pelt me with rotten tomatoes at the jon snow tonight

i'll get some eggs

I'll bring a water butt full of whatever falls this afternoon.

hey we could make a tasty omlete if only someone could bring an onion or two to throw at me

BringMeMyFix I'll bring a water butt full of whatever falls this afternoon.

Is that a Freudian slip (of the digit)? Who's butt are you thinking about?
