This morning's commute and other commuting stories

specialised clothing is still superior

And this is bullshit in the context of commuting.

but then I moved to an office with awesome showers that had body jets so I'd turn them all on and pretend I was on a submarine that was hit by a torpedo.

'Commuting' is just the purpose of your riding. It's still riding a bike.

As I said, I don't care what you wear - just the suggestion that cycling-specific gear somehow isn't better to cycle in is a bit ridiculous. But that being said, there are reasons not directly related to the cycling itself that might mean you don't want to optimise your clothing just for the riding itself.

Do you commute on a TT bike? Would be faster.

I can't afford one.

Stop buying specialised cycle clothing and start saving!

Well for the price of one of those, I could outfit about 50 people in second-hand Castelli jerseys...

Two points that prove it was not me.

1. Training
   
2. Flying leap
   

Point c:

I was sat behind you rather than chatting bollocks with you.

Point 4:
it wasn't ridiculous o'clock which is when you commutes

Someone in full hi-viz with flashing tabard this morning going through red lights on Regent street and getting in everyones way.
Whyyyyyyyyyy?!

London’s friendliest forum claims another victim ;-)

He seems like he'll do fine round here.

Well that escalated quickly.

Shut your pig sty mouth hole.

Get your lycra off and kiss me you big commuter.

Meanwhile. My shoes are still wet.

Euph?^

This is getting spicy.

Is there a live video feed?

(Preferably with Carlton Kirby commentary)

He's been around for a lot longer than you, so maybe he has a certain understanding of the place you have yet to pick up?
Would you go to a pub you haven't been before and after your second pint tell a regular to fuck off?

Leytonstone Wetherspoons?

Have a pint together you cowards!

(All seems a bit harsh in 'ere tbh)

Would you go to a pub you haven't been before and after your second pint tell a regular to fuck off?

In response to seasoned regular telling me to fuck off for no particularly good reason, sure. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

Maybe you could fuck off and find another forum?

Bit much!

Guy on red single speed "having words" with City of London mtb policemen.

35c tyres for the first in a long time, lovely.

I might try it, it's only up the road from me.

Try doing that in the one in Barkingside
