would be very wierd riding a bike with just one hood. you would instinctively try to grab the one that wasnt there and maybe crash it would be terrible

No bite marks on your thighs from the elastic.

I know, right? its so embarrasing when I cruise down to the bar after a ride in my short shorts then I realise I've got these horrid red rings round my legs, sooo not cool.

Have anyone notice that he use a bottle to carry tools?

Yes, Ed... We had...

So? Is that a rarity in London?

Silly thing though - he's cut the top of so water collects in it and his multitool still gets rusty.

A hole in the bottom of it and water doesn't collect.

Still baffled at two brake levers but only one connected.

Still baffled at two brake levers but only one connected.

Still baffled at two brake levers but only one connected.

what do you not understand?

ok, it's for riding position, understood.
