Yep, as I thought: not a sausage tonight. Saw one roadie, but he was going the other way through Sheen. No use to me, that.

My average speed is down to below 15mph with this weather. Longer on the bike at least.

It certainly was a bit nippy today, especially on the knees.

Does anyone else get severe eyes waterings and nose running in this cold weather? I lost so much fluid on the way intoday I was worried I might be dehydrated!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Buy some 3/4 length bib shorts or running tights to put under or over your bike shorts (if under, watch out for the rubbing effect of any seam).

Nope. (More polluted and thus warmer in London.)

Jaysus - you're a glutton for punishment aren't you... a hybrid is even worse than an MTB.

Are you mental? Cover your knees man FGS!

Is it me or has it all gone a bit weird on the forum this am?

I'm feeling very smug - Willesden Green to Borough in 34 minutes, and that's total time not moving time, not bad with morning traffic eh.

Defo cover the knees. I shake my head in wide-eyed disbelief that anyone would cycle with bare knees in the current temperatures. I get to shake my head quite a lot on my commute*

It didn't feel too bad temp wise this morning so cycled in baggies, base layer and gilet. A couple of miles later and the core is nice and warm and my feet are iceblocks. One other roadie going the other way but no prey on my side so cruised in carefully especially on the corners got to our car park and it is ice everywhere. :shock: PANIC. I have never unclipped so carefully trying not to unbalance myself and fall flat on my face in front of everyone.

I had (another) slow and uncomfortable ride in this morning.

However, I did A Good Thing.

I espied a damsel in distress - walking along the Embankment carrying her bike and looking pretty miserable. So I stopped, asked if she needed help. To which she dejectedly replied that she had flatted, her hubby had swiped one of her spare inners and the other one she had just discovered was the wrong size.

So I gave her one.

Of my spare inners. Her little face lit up. 'Twas a joy to behold, especially so close to Christmastime.


Ahhhhhhhhh...

That'll teach her.

She won't do that again.

The last time I stopped for a burd with a flat - I refused to accept "payment" and got a hug instead.

I need to work on my game as other Greg is clearly supassing me in this field.

I need to change my name to Greg, you gents rule. The only person with a flat I have seen and stopped for was a fat old bloke; he declined my offer of a hug.

You shouldn't take no for an answer in these situations, forcing physical intimacy on old men you don't know is a public service......

Thought about it. But she already had the tyre off the rim, so she seemed to have an idea what she was doing.

It's the thought that counts, though.

Just wondering, do you mean for comfort or for health of the knees?
I tend to avoid it over winter except on extreme days. I take a bit longer to warm up & get to full speed but it seems manageable. You've got me worried now, is there a heightened risk of injury?

For me, it's both. It might be old wives' stuff, but if everything's warm, it's not cold, so the cold can't spread into the muscles etc etc. And if I'm warm, I'm comfortable and my attention isn't distracted.

Like Jon, I'm amazed people cycle in shorts in this weather. But I am a wuss. Long sleeves go on in September unless it's balmy.

Sweet FA to report from my ride in this morning. The only other bike based traffic going in the same direction as me was 2 school kids on their Argos specials......
One thing I have found tho and I'm begging to hate about this route is that I seem to pick up an in-ordinate amount of road scum! My bag left a black mark on the toilet seat this morning due to the cr4p on it! (Don't laugh, I've seen the wet pools around the toilet so my bag and clothes stay off the floor when changing!)

My new mission in life.

To ride around the Streets of London armed with a bag full of spare inner tubes looking for girl-cyclists in need of help....

In fact Greg T giving up your current job and taking this up may increase your chances of experiencing The Fabled Buckwild Sex....

Did I mention that Geoff Johns is no longer writing JSA!?!
