• Defensive Riding

  in General • 16 years, 1 month

  

  Coming from Shoreditch High Street onto Bishopsgate, there is a small section of Bike lane which goes onto the pavement.

  Be very very careful!!! Pedestrian lemmings will NOT be paying attention! If the traffic is stationary, as it usually is, they will not be paying attention!!!!

  Big accident awaits!

• Mudguards

  in Bikes & Bits • 16 years, 1 month

  

  These one's work for me, and don't spoil the line of the bike too much.

  Also don't need mud guard eyes, and don't go through the brake caliper. (Not that that would be a problem for some of you!!)

• Bib shorts: Pros and Cons?

  in Bikes & Bits • 16 years, 1 month

  

  Bib shorts more comfy, don't dig into your spare tire!!!
  Also keep your core a bit warmer.

  However there is the peeing issue!!! Doubled up like the hunchback of Notre Dame at a urinal is likely to get some strange looks!!! Other option to take of almost all your clothes.....prefer to do this in a cubicle!!

  Mind you I have some bib tights which come up even higher at the front,,,,,that realy take some flexibilty to do the No1s!!!!!

• Pros and cons of cycling to work and back 5 days a week?

  in General • 16 years, 1 month

  

  Yes I do store some clothes at the office.
  But like to have a one week rolling supply.
  I would quite happily sit at the desk in my skinsuit, but I would get a few complaints!!!!

• Pros and cons of cycling to work and back 5 days a week?

  in General • 16 years, 1 month

  

  I started comuting two months ago.
  Occasionally mange the 5 day cycle......not often though!

  Biggest problem I have is with clothes at work.
  Friday ship in new clothes and take home 5 days of stinkies!!!!
  I try to carry the bare minimum, so don't like haveing a back pack every day.

  Does feel good to have made a 5 day week.....
