    How many fingers do you have?
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Disappointingly no ads showing with relevance to pizza, eggs or the future taste sensation in the Great British Bake-off 2013, pizza-eggs.

    I thought this thread would be about the aerial bike routes in glass tubes that I saw a link to, but it links to the Daily Fail, so I won't post it on here, but rest assured, it is a very stupid idea and whoever thought it up just doesn't understand.
    FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
    FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
    FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

    I'm hungry. I'm always hungry!

    Whenever it is raining my Mrs always asks the same question

    "your not riding in this are you?"

    As I head out the door in top to toe lycra....
    "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

  • I used to get this from my colleagues when I started doing lunchtime rides. I told them I'd found a hill with a "Check Your Speed" radar sign on the way down and I was going for the high score.

    Mrs ini started to get understanding when I told her I get cranky if I don't ride enough.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.
