    Conti Gator Hardshells for me. On my second set and a perfect opearional record so far on London roads - famous last words.

    ..but I bet they roll like... Alligators.
    Like tyres actually :)

    Not getting a visit from the puncture fairy in the badlands of South Londin is worth a bit of extra weight.

    They slippery when its wet though. My boss had a set, every time it rained, he fell off.

    Pinno says paves. They look nicer than the GPs, similar price. Obvs if the first broken bottle I ride near causes multiple punctures, I'll set fire to the tyres, chuck them in next door's garden, p!ss on them, then post them to Pinno. He'll probably use ninja DIY skillz to turn them into some sort of chimney for his wood burner.

    Ooh, I missed flan, soz flan.

    I wasn't winding you up! Teh internetz is shyte for subtlety. I cancelled my order for a pair of GP 4000s and bought the paves. Sound perfect for the all weather communting on the shyte diesel slicked roads.

    He just needs some MTB skills. Bet he's a roadie.

    He has flat pedals and wears a bum bag instead of a cycling jersey. I'm not sure which category that puts him in!

    MTB skillz mainly seem to involve dealing with horse shyte, cow shyte, tree roots and intrusive rocks. Plus baggy clothing and peaked helmets. Gimme shiny lycra and smooth tarmac any day. :D

    Not just now. Tube, levers, multi tool, patches. Once I'm back on the sauce, yep, a couple of minis of brandy.

    You missed sheep and enthusiastic Welsh landladies.

    I could go for an undersexed Myfanwy, as long as she did a decent breakfast.

    You get done up like that to ride a bike? That's just an excuse to wear fetish gear and a stormtrooper hat!

    Actually, I suppose you don't ride the bike, just point it downhill and yell fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkk while trying not to collide with a tree or a Welsh pervert hiding in a bush. :D

    i think they call it crudding, similar to dogging, they drive to secluded places, take pictures of each other doing things, then drive away again

    :D
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    There was some speculation as to what he was doing in that outfit but I think I worked that one out.
