    Ian Holm as Itboffin: [Over the phone] What I'm about to tell you is supposed to be confidential. Several hours ago, I fell down in the garage. I fell over because the G&T in my glass froze.
    Bikeradar: At what temperature does...
    Ian Holm as itboffin: [Interrupting] Negative 150 degrees Fahrenheit. I mean, I had to look it up!
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Cheap French wine is the answer mate, tastes better than the Halfords antifreeze and it's still got about the same percentage of glycol.
    FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
