Get yourself an extra large pair of oven gloves and find out the hard way, like I did.
Perhaps a set of goggles as wellFixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

well my commute is getting slower and slower and slower. Soon the pedestrians will be scalping me
Obviously time for a holiday.
I need to try pedalling a bit harder too, maybe.
Or swapping Frank for Gladys?
Speeding up tonight though - bike tucked up in the boot of the car I left at work for the weekendEmerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome0 -
My commute was fine but completely uneventful this morning - have the schools begun to go on holiday? There seemed to be very little traffic compared to the usual.
Also, very disappointing levels of cyclists. It must be christmas party week or something.
Also, I have a complaint. Why is my head so sweaty? I know I have pretty thick hair, but it's ridiculous. Grumble grumble.0 -
The fact that someone was killed on (or possibly near) my commute route this morning has turned me into a bundle of nerves.
Nothing silly about my ride home tonight, it'll be taken VERY carefully.
It'll probably be a good hour before I unclench when I get home."Impressive break"

Yeah, but you've done something with your hair, haven't you? Combed it, maybe?0 -

Well you couldn't see the ratty greasy ponytail on my other pic because my fat neck was in the way.
I've just moved it to the side.0 -

Urban MTB? Wtf?
You know, for urban mountains.
It's so obvious really. The clue's in the name.
Ear! you takin der p*ss out of my bike ??
Means really that its urban proof - 36 spokes instead of 32, lightened MTB frame, 28/38/48 front ring go anywhere do anything (except pass roadies)0 -

No, no, no. Not at all, my good man.
I'll callin' yer bike a POOF! :twisted:0 -

Its the dankness of this time of year. Everything gets dank and a bit moist. There's nothing for it but to wait for a nice cold snap to dry the air.
Either that or a liberal dose of Right Guard. Remember to close your eyes first0 -

It's better than dank... which he also used.0

Dave be true to yourself, mate. It's not good hiding behind a false persona and the anonymity of the web. The reason you're getting a wet, moist, dank head is that mask of the pretty girl you seem intent on hiding behind.
A word of warning though.....You'll be found out.
I know everyone at the SCR party said they were convinced by your "fancy" dress, but to be honest the stubble and braces were hidden by the dim lights, maybe they were being a bit polite, but mate, I could tell.
Also the next time you come to and SCR meet, don't leave your truck outside, and if you do, remember to lock it up!!!! No one really wants to see the contents of an Ann Summers lorry strewn over a pavement. While you were getting lashed the local herberts were helping themselves to all sorts of things that would make a grown up blush. Lyrca is one thing, what you were carrying in that truck was something completely different.
Oh and the pump you sold me won't fit my bike I wanted the presta...and those novelty pink inner tubes, weren't inner tubes...That's the last time I inflate anything you sell me on the train home! :shock:0 -
I'm away for a few days and SCR has morphed into Webbed Horse Fluffers. I'm glad to see nothing has changed
Back on the bike this evening after a few rides off chasing the beer monkies (you know, the ones that steal all your money and crap in your mouth while you're asleep). Damn it was good to get back on the bike though! All I need now is some daylight and all will be well in the world again. Speaking of which, not long to the shortest day of the year and then things start to get betterFCN3: Titanium Qoroz.0 -

Right - that's enough - we'll settle this like gentlemen

Do any of our resident MTB commuters run out of gears on the flat?
On today's commutes, I was left clicking in thin air, so to speak, glancing down at my sprockets thinking, "What? You mean that's it?".
Nothing on the way home tonight, and I was really up for some Roadie-Worrying too.FCN 2-4.
"What happens when the hammer goes down, kids?"
"It stays down, Daddy."
"Exactly."0 -

I used to, until I got bigger chainrings for the front, now running 48-12 with slicks....Good for roadie hunting :twisted:
It works the other way around as well ....When the first time I went out on my road bike, I was hoofing it down a hill clicking, and waiting for the gears to run out before I bottled it! :shock:0 -

I thought I'd found you - bloke going pretty fast on a MTB. I made the pass but couldn't lose him, not straight away anyway. I reckoned it wasn't you as I passed but couldn't really tell - the fact you didn't re-overtake 30 yards on convinced me it wasn't you after all0 -
