There's Nothing Like...........

ChrisKH · June 2007

Sitting in a packed train carriage (the one's with the seats made for very thin people and midgets) with wet steaming thighs/crotch and a dripping jacket and helmet. If the woman next to me could have melted into the side of the train she would've.

Any wet tales anyone?

To be fair I did take the jacket and helmet off and drape it over the bike. Unfortunataly the man behind me had to make do with the rucksack dripping from the rack.[:0]

Baby elephants are so last year, darling.

...one wet Sunday morning sitting in a cafe. As I left I could see, where I had been sitting, a great big puddle of water on the floor. It looked like I had wet myself[:I]

You should've just turned and stared at her for a few seconds before saying "behold my steaming cock and my steaming masculine thighs". Then again, if you intend on getting the train regularly, perhaps not [:D]

Without trying to sounds self rightoeus (although that's exactly what it sounds like), when the weather's like that and I'm wet through I just sit on the floor by the door. My reasoning is that the seat will then be pretty nasty after I've sat on it and if I was someone getting on the crowded train afterwards and that was the only seat available I'd be pretty fed up if it had been left wet / muddy or whatever.

Point taken, but the only part of me that was wet was the front of my shorts and thighs as I had ridden into the downpour and that wasn't touching the seat or anyone else for that matter. Everything else was draped over the bike. The drips from the rucksack stopped very quickly. Being like that you get treated as 'unclean'. I would have sat with the bike if someone had given up the collapsable seat in the bike carriage. I could have stood, I suppose, but as my son got me up at 4.00 am I wanted to get a bit of (wet and steamy) shut-eye.

I wouldn't inconvenience anyone if I was wet through everywhere else. It did look like I'd had an accident tho'. [:D]

The answer is of course don't get the train, cycle all the way..........

And get some rainlegs innit.

My bikes
My skates

If I had a baby elephant, I'd teach it to skate.

SOP when it rains, although I'm typically always very hot and sweaty when I get to the station in the afternoon. When I get out at a decent hour into the commuter rush, I often get looks as I pile into the train dripping and probably smelling a little sweaty.

It was absolutely howling down with rain when I had to leave for work this morning.
O.K. Rain jacket put back on the peg. Just shorts, Marmite s/s top, and shoes. Bliss. 100 yards from home I was completely soaked. That's it - I now can't get any wetter.
There's something strangely liberating about that. One of my most enjoyable commutes this year. Passing people at bus stops with hunched faces, hunched shoulders, hunched umbrellas. I'm laughing as I put another sprint in.
