  • I've got carbon clinchers. I don't have discs.
    Different kit for different requirements.

    Cheap chinese carbon clinchers & disc for the win.

    For mountain descents & promuting along Embankment.

  • TOP COMMUTING TIP:

    For those who cycle in the rain without overshoes, warm air coming out of the computer under your desk makes excellent drying facilities for shoes.

  • I had one of those mornings where I became convinced I was on some hidden camera show. No light would turn green until the precise second I put my foot down. Seriously.

    Every.
    Single.
    Light.
    All.

    Way.
    In.

    Trackstand or GTFO

    I managed to get a lesson in track standing from Dammit this morning along Whitehall. All I got out of the session was that my bike was not custom bling enough to trackstand effectively.

    Thank goodness I was there to put my foot down otherwise we would have been there for aaaaaages.

    I do it with my screen, i put my stuff on top so the heat dry everything quickly. Got many of them so space for my gloves, top and short. Then my colleague tell me "it smell damp in here" when he arrive the morning ahah

  • Ahh the old drying wet kit at work issue.

    At my last job we had a compressor room for all the air tools on the factory floor. This was perfect. I constructed a makeshift washing line. A couple of hours and kit was bone dry.

    Warm fans from computers are ok for small things like socks. But not enough for shoes, I find.

    I'm now stuck with hanging kit over radiators, which are never on. So the kit never dries. Its fucking fustrating. /csb, etc.

  • ^^ I need to find the server room.

  • I usually forget and leave my stuff in the the shower room which has awful ventilation. My stuff is then even wetter by 6pm and cold as the radiator doesn't work.

  • Enjoy your pissy soaked arse jeans, commutengers!

    One bloke almost got it right. He was carrying his mudguard in his hand.

  • what is about the rain and people forgetting how to cross the road? ffs. 'walkers' everywhere this morning.
    look right, look left, look right again. cunts.

  • Server room just around the corner from my desk, perfect drying/changing room :)

    I'll stick to the expensive kind thanks. I need my teeth. #hippyisfat

    Their heads are down to avoid rainface and they're rushing to avoid getting wet. Plus umbrellas. You probably do exactly the same when it's pissing down. Just gotta keep an extra sense operating. Of course, in the dry all bets are off and they should all be mowed down by Mad Max.

  • Much boiler room access.

    So toasty.

    Such warmth...

    Angus turns the rad's off in the bogs etc to stop people spending time in there, you can just turn them back on- historically at least it was a while before he noticed and turned them off again.

    I was always impressed by the Sales and Marketing Directors forward thinking attempts to keep people at their desks by making the working environment less pleasant away from them.

    The one in the bogs is on intermittently. I prefer it off as it is so piss soaked from urinal splash back that it's rusting so any heat creates and ungodly odour. The one in the shower room is just plain old fucked.

  • Just stacked going over some wet leaves at about 5mph. Careful everyone.

  • 1st rule of wet weather riding, don't ride through puddles you are not a kid on BMX anymore, dangers hiden underneath.
