  • Upon reflection, the entire removal could be done without uncleating but using scissors. It should be done is stages, however, to protect some vestage of modesty.

  • And with some care, to protect one's undercarriage...

  • Getting the second leg in would be the difficult bit.

    Alternative.

    Unzip jersey.

    Stop; whip off jersey and shorts over shoes, whip on new shorts handed by waiting mechanic. Back on bike. Pull on jersey and zip up.

    Probably less than 90 seconds and no scissors.

  • Joyeux Le Quatorze Juillet!

    Yup! The French will be rampant today - Bastille Day!

    My wedding Anniversary too - it's the only way I remember it. 'Why is a Frenchman attacking? Fuck me! I'd better get down the ESSO for some fleurs and Ferrero Rocher!
    Ten years wed. Tin wedding anniversary. Tin. If that's not an excuse for some tins in front of the telly I don't know what is!

  • It is said that Simpson did this. LeMond was only copying.

    True. It was Vin Denson's cap he used. He said 'Vin, I need your cap, so Vin took it off and passed it to him. It was a red hot day. When Simpson returned, he asked what he needed the cap for. 'I was desperate for a shit and didn't have anything to wipe my arse on. Cheers, Vin!'
    Vin Denson had to complete the climb with a baked bonce.

  • Congrats Luci..

    Much the same way I remember Mrs Braves Birthday.. Sept 11....

    Vin also did the quick change into shorts, I seem to remember (from the book about Jacques A.). He left his shoes on, fitting with Clive's theory of quick changes, however he managed to get dirt from his shoes in the gooch cream. He then had to chase someone down, while needing a piss, with gravel in his gooch. He then continued to ride for hours, not pissing himself. When they reached the next stop/the end/can't remember, he went to piss. He couldn't. A mechanic applied a sponge of hot coffee. He started. And stopped something like 2 minutes later.

    This story is better recounted in the excellent book about Jacques A. that I borrowed from Andy P.

    I actually sat at a table with Vin Denson as he told that story. He was pissed on a boatload of red wine, sat next to Poulidor.

    Cool story bro, etc...
