Nice one gang, looking forward to some mid-winter supping and perusing over some deutsch track bike porn sometime soon...
ATTENTION: WHAT NOT TO WEAR
Had a bit of an incident this morning coming over the Hills Road bridge. Today is the first day of the year that I've worn 'autumn slacks' to work, and they are quite wide (they are brown woollen pinstripe too if that helps set the mood).
To cut a long story short, due to their girth I forgot to tuck them into my sock, and as a result the hem got stuck in the chainwheel as I started to descend.
As you can imagine, with no freewheel, and picking up pace, they continued to churn away at the cloth, until my calf was pulled tight to the frame, at which point they gave and ripped a large dairylea-shaped piece from the inside leg.
I somehow managed to slow down and stay upright, even though I couldn't get out from the toeclips, I brushed myself off, checked my hair and continued to join the rat race.
It was hair raising to say the least! But it's all part of the fun, and what its all about yo. I dare say that Gok Wan, or my tailor on Saville Row would NOT BE BEST PLEASED.
How do your respective bikes add comedy value to your days?
Stay off the drugs, kids
