Trivial but tough question

nolight

When I get home from cycling, I can never make up my mind what to do first. Should I:

Park the bike - I want to do this first so that the bike is safe from falling, but then I have to walk with road shoes to the bike stand!
Take off shoes - If I don't take off my road shoes first, I may fall walking. But I have to lean the bike against something to take off my shoes, which may make the bike fall!
Take off helmet - Taking this off makes it cooler, but 1 more thing to carry in my hand, increasing the chance bike and myself both fall while walking to the bike stand!

Tough decisions. Then there's the tougher decisions to decide whether to take off my stinky jersey before walking to the bike stand!

Reach for a G&T, or a decent whiskey. You know it makes sense.

Routine from coming back from a ride:

1. Get off bike.
2. Take helmet off.
3. Walk into garage with bike and helmet.
4. Park bike.
5. Get in house.
6. Take shoes off.
7. Take jersey off.
8. Shower.

I dont mind walking 20 feet in my road shoes, I like to live dangerously like that :twisted: .

Learn how to lean the bike against something properly and it won't fall over!

That is a tough one, I may have to ponder on that for a while.

Wash your bike.

If you can't work this out for yourself, how have you survived this long? Has your carer just abandoned you?

I'd stay in bed if I were you

It is very dangerous indeed!

See:
You may fall between 1. and 6. since you are walking with road shoes!
You may fall and knock your head between 2. and 6.!
You may fall with your bike between 2. and 4., knocking your head and damaging the bike!

Fit stabilisers. Hire an Asian boy on below minimum wage to stand with the bike and also bring your slippers to change out of your shoes into.

Most important - MTFU.
