This pleases me.

RIP rider.

How many of you hate cleaning bikes?
Shall we start a list?

What product do you currently use?
Muc Off, degreasers, purple something-or-other, washing up liquid.

How long does it take?
Depends how long it's been since the last time/what season it is/whether there's other maintenance to do at the same time. 15 mins to an hour.

What is your opinion on the results you get?
Depends on how meticulous I'm feeling. Usually passable.

How important is it that a product is 'satisfying to use'? (smells nice, good quality bottle that is easy to use, foams up lots for example)
It makes the experience more pleasant but I don't think that would be my motivation for the whole undertaking.

What price range would you be happy to pay for a bike cleaning product? Something that would be able to quickly and easily remove all dirt from your bike.
It would have to be really good to cost more than a tenner considering the job/number of washes a cheap bottle of washing up liquid manages.

I'd also like to know why those of you who hate cleaning your bike actually hate it!
I wouldn't say I hate it. Any more than the basics is an indulgence at the moment as I don't have much time.

I'd give it a punt.

That's a good ion!

And it's too insu-late to stop us now.

It's ca-bullshit.

I ohm-ly seem to comment when some bright spark starts a pun-off.

Currently, yes.

TL:DR Idiot is an arsehole.

Exactly. No point having hundreds of routes if you never get a go.

It's pretty good number-of-routes-wise. Not compared to both buildings in Bermondsey, but it was also a lot quieter when I was there. Definitely worth a punt I reckon.

RIP rider.

Moving to Bristol whilst still working mostly in London and having a baby at the same time mean that I am weak. And heavy. We went with the baby last week and took turns holding/climbing. I'm hoping that might help.

What an amazing photo to have!

They just need some loops for straps.
Edit: these should work.

What a twist! I didn't see that one coming.

I was thinking about this exact thing a couple of days ago. Didn't someone on here make something similar to this using old skateboards/griptape?

Repulsive stuff, Luci.

Should this have an "I" in it:
As whisper, “Fucking animals…”

Also, six lines from the end there's an exclamation mark in place of what may be another "I"?

I have a long Megabus journey ahead of me this evening so I'm going to blitz the Dysfunction Room.

The paper bag of poo heeds no pleas.

Hi-pro?!! The inspiration for Danni Foffa perhaps?

It was good to meet you all! I'll swing by next time I'm in town and free.

They should do London editions. Euston Road, Oxford Circus and that bit at the corner of Cable Street/Butcher Row where it always smells like drains.

Well, that was a good afternoon's read. i just picked up a Brompton and am wondering what to modify first...
