Hail Cippos or flagellate myself with a bike chain?
Flagellation with a chain (10 speed only) but heat up the chain on the BBQ first.0 -

I already have a spike on top of the gates of hell waiting for my ars* so I fear no punishment you can offer me. :twisted:
Your hell will be full of skinny blokes from London all kitted out in Rapha, sipping Italian coffees and chatting non-stop about the velminati rules with various French , Spanish and Italian cycling terms chucked in. :evil:0 -

That the place where you do a left at Birmingham and fall into a big hole full of Dragons? Think I went out on a stag do once and ended up there, they really do know the meaning of a spit roast out that way.

OK... deep breath... here goes
I sometimes wear a long sleeved black close fitting cotton T-shirt under my cycling jersey and pretend it is a base-layer.
I feel so much better now I've got that off my chest.0 -

Forgive me f...
[nervous interlude]
When passing fellow cyclists I always say 'Hello' - Not to the riders face but to the down tubes of their frames. Free me from this judgemental position.0 -
I've been using the wifes bike over the winter whilst she is out working.. I' now prefer it to my own which is gathering dust in the spare room. :oops:Why tidy the house when you can clean your bike?0

Here goes...
- I love using my Camelpak on the roadie.
- I have 2x bottle cages fitted - but are always empty (so far!)
- I hate having the jersey pockets stuffed full and would rather carry a rucksack.
- I never travel light.
--I carry compressed air and a pump on the road!
-- On a recent MTB ride, I managed to reveal that I was carrying a large adjustable spanner. I did however manage to hide the fact I was also carrying a spare tyre! [I was only 4 miles from my house!]
- +1 never patch inner tubes
- On my first 100 mile Sportive, I took both my Edge and Forerunner Garmins for data collection and feedback lol
The list of wrongs could go on and on. I am sorry and I am trying to change. But change is hard. lolSimon0 -

I think a Facebook community page can be organised, that's mostly a waste of space anyway so one more page isn't going to cause too much issue.springtide9 wrote:

crazy88 wrote:Are you riding at all? Or completely living without ride in your life?
*Ahem* :oops:
I am MTBing a bit atm, dodgy ankle. Road is off for a while as a) I've lent my road bike to a mate and b) through other circumstances, have gone from 4 available road bikes, not including the TT which I'd never get my leg over anyway, to none.
So currently if I want to ride (a bike), MTB is all I have.
Cue violins please...

Those smooth tyres on a road bike remove all vibrations.
Tis true dat. I have my daughters road bike but she wants it back

Why is it so wrong to patch inner tubes? Surely, in this 'throw-away consumer society' some effort has to be made to re-use and recycle, as long as the tube is safe etc.
I have patched up many a relationship in the past - why not tubes????Raymondo

More fun and more enjoyable. Oh, and you get dirty too...WIN WIN WIN
The ankle is getting physio of sorts :oops:
However, the last time I went out, apart from getting lost on my own doorstep, I had a bit of an off due to weakness in it.
Well, that and downhill, lose chalk, a sharp lefthander, not far enough off the back and hitting the brakes hard. :oops:

I wear what look like Shimano mtb shoes on my road bike. They're not really mtb shoes, honest. It's just that all my bikes use SPDs. They're dreadfully uncomfortable, I view it as penance - truly.http://www.strathspey.co.uk - Quality Binoculars at a Sensible Price.
