  • Sweaty inter-buttock region.

    Is that in Hertfordshire?

  • Not seeing dog poo until it's too late

  • You mean after the tasting but before you've finished?

  • Noted.

    Especially when you do so in a tent.

  • or two

  • Useless LBSs.

    Today:
    Me: Hi, I'd like to get a quote to fix a seized cassette. Could I bring it in so you could have a look please?
    LBS (in verrry sloooow Norfolk accent): Ooo, I don't know about that love, we don't do quotes over the phone. Anything could be wrong with it, you'll have to bring it in.
    Me: Yeah, that's fine. Can I bring it in today? I only want quote for work as someone else will be paying for it.
    LBS (brain cogs whirring): Oooh, well anything could be wrong with it you see. We can't just write a quote for you, we might need to take it apart to see what's wrong which we'll have to charge labour for. You'll need to bring it in though.

    Jesus wept! Another LBS asked me where I was (about a mile away from the shop). Their reply:
    Why don't you go somewhere nearer, like blah blah down the road.

    And another said they charged £10 non-refundable deposit in order to quote for work, basically so you'd go with them anyway. How fucking rediculous is that?

    Another:
    LBS: So what bike have you got
    Me: It's a Colnago...
    LBS: Oooh, that's a bit posh isn't it?

    I love this part of the country but it can be full of dullards sometimes.

  • Icy roads, quite common here this time of the year. I get more stiff then Brian Johnsons upper lip.

  • Numb tackle - first time was terrifying. Cue re-position of saddle and more standing up

  • @not4sale
    Get another job... he's a twat, you need to not work for him. Don't waste your life.

  • condolences, you appear to work with a bunch of cunts.
    i'm assuming that you are a dude. try pointing out to them that erections are primarily a vascular event and that their sedentary lifestyles will result/may have already resulted in premature erectile dysfunction and consequent impotence, while your superior cyclist's cardio-vascular fitness and flexibility mean you can and do fuck like a puma.

    Thanks

    I think he already knows that.

    And he was born with it!

  • Buying service parts when there actually needed, not just wanted :(

  • The disaster of my first fixed build.

    After spending months sourcing each perfect piece of the puzzle and being wet with anticipation. It all began to go wrong when I lost the left crank arm on the train... Finally once all put together, within 24hours i'd broken 7 spokes... Upon fixing the spokes, I took it for a test run and received a puncture in the front tyre... At Halfords the next day I attempted to buy a puncture repair kit... They refused to serve it to serve me as I did not have my ID, despite the fact I was brandishing a bicycle with a very flat tyre.

  • Despite all this I truly am loving riding fixed

  • fixie wankers

  • At Halfords .. They refused to serve it to serve me as I did not have my ID

    What the fucking fuck?!

  • haha I think "fucking fuck" sums it up well

  • What the fucking fuck?!

    solvents innit

  • solvents innit

    Can you get high off those tiny tubes?!

  • haha that's a very good point, the whole reason i was buying a new repair kit in the first place was because the one i already owned's tidderly amount of glue had ran out.
