Common mistake. Live and learn.
I haven't been here long. I've been told off. Now I feel like I'm taking the role of the elder juvenile penguin in that marching penguins movie. Where I've had a bit taken out of a flipper by a vicious seal and am showing a young penguin the danger. There's a slippery slope that leads to the water where seals and killer whales are or there is the vast open icy area.
That vast open icy area represents all the cycling wisdom out there. That slippery slope can either get you to the vast, icy knowledge of fixed gears or straight into a sea lion's mouth. That's the difference between searching and starting threads.
I am not a marine biologist, nor have I seen any penguin documentary that I can remember but I am pretty sure that's how a penguin's life goes. I am also on some heavy duty painkillers and a touch of medicinal whisky.
