Rain needed

Ever since the sun came out it has been difficult to find a space in the bike shed, back when it was raining there was raining there was no problem finding a space. Bl00dy fair weather cyclists, we need more rain :evil:

Well what is really needed is a bigger bike shed but that isn't going to happen until the buildings manager retires. It is supposed to be an environmentally friendly organisation, they can find £10m for a new "gateway", but a new bike shed for the staff no chance.

    We don't have that problem, we dont even have a bike shed. Theres's just 3 of us who regularly commute by bike and one of them uses his motorbike when the weather's good so we actually have more room when its dry

    yeah death to the fair weather cyclists

    them wobbling about on the way in is more annoying than them clogging up the bike shed

    although we just have those big loops to lock up to, plenty of them and you can double up

    it can rain every day if the wind stops and the hills get a bit easier

    Although my commuter is my oldest and least lovely bike, it has a nice warm storeroom to live in during the daytime and I still like to dry it before putting it away :oops: Which means recently, I've spent a lot of time drying my bike...

    I don't think I'd use an outdoor bike shed even if there was one. Having the bike indoors makes it easier to carry out lunchtime repairs on the odd occasion when needed and as there's only one key for the store, I don't have to worry about it getting nicked.

    I think I got wetter on the bike leg of the tri I did today than I had been in the lake.

    So if you want some rain, it's here, come and get it !

    There's only five at work who cycle in but there's at least 12 bikes. (and growing). Joe has a tendency to go and find restoration projects at the tip during his dinner. Luckily space is not a problem.
