Frame bag rubbing legs?

To be fair most regular road cyclists will ride 30-40 miles without much thought and certainly without taking any special precautions. I normally only take one bottle for such a distance, it's only 2-3 hrs and I just drink before I start and when I get home.Chimera2018 wrote:This forum is a complete waste of time.

You'd have been better off asking in the tours & expeditions section, as what you're talking about (stopping to go and look at attractions, point to point getting the train etc.) is closer to that. Also if you took a bit of ribbing with better grace, that would help...0 -

I've just never found myself anywhere in the UK where I couldn't get more water if I needed it. And I have once or twice needed to stop and get more water.Chimera2018 wrote:According to you, people should only take the bare minimum they can get away with. I don't want to take the bare minimum, I want to take enough so that I can more or less guarantee I don't end up running out. I've said this multiple times now. I think I must be speaking some foreign language.
When I go out for a whole day I usually would have a cafe stop at some point. Or I'd just stop at a co op or a Londis.
When I go touring I have 2x1L bottles on the bike and I have never yet died of thirst. As I said before I do often bungee an additional bottle to my rack but that's mainly to allow for cooking and so on.0 -

You have been doing this for 20 years? So how come you havent solved this problem already?
Relax guys - its clearly a troll, if he was a genuine newcomer, genuinely this upset, he would have moved on by now and ignore this post, not keep coming back to argue.
Otherwise, thats some weird kinda tour - 3 hours on a train to ride for an hour to an attraction, spend 2+ hours there, ride an hour back to the train and another 3 hours getting home on the train. And all that time not passing or going anywhere that sells refreshments, when clearly its normal hours that garages, cafes and shops would be open because whatever attraction it is will be open.
Sorry, just not credible.0 -

Solved what problem?
And how the fuck is it a "weird tour"??? I'm taking the train somewhere, I'm doing a circular tour, during which I will stop at one or more attractions. How fucking hard is this to understand???????????????
Jesus Christ what the fucking hell is wrong with you fucking people? I came here for advice, not to have my every move picked apart by a bunch of shitheads who obviously have nothing better to do.
Maybe if you actually got out of your mother's basement and went to a bookshop....you know, those places that sell BOOKS....you would see that there are dozens of books offering such tours for people to follow.
If anyone is being trolled here IT'S ME!! Get a life ffs.0 -
Someone earlier called this " a bit of ribbing". This isn't "ribbing", it's online harassment and abuse.
You know what, fuck you. I'm gone.............0 -

2.5 litres over 130k, not a 20m trip to the shops. And he refilled. HTF did he manage that in deepest Dorset? Twice!Chimera2018 wrote:diplodicus wrote:In fairness he is,I believe, talking about 3 liters in a whole day out.
ExactlyI rode on Saturday and took (2) 750ml full bidons with me and I refilled them at Corfe with 500ml of water in one and 500ml of orange juice in the other. We then stopped in Swanage for coffee and the cafe kindly filled both bottles with water, which I had drunk by the time I got home. So total of four liters plus coffee :shock:
Not a massive ride, 130km with 1300m climbing, but hot.
YMMV
Which is 2.5 litres of fluid, so the f are people here doing my head in for wanting to take a 3 litre water bladder, and acting like no one else would ever do such a thing???0 -

Jesus Christ are you fucking thick??? I need it to LAST ALL DAY!!! Why the fucking hell are you not understanding this??? And I have run out in the middle of the country where THERE ARENO FUCKING SHOPS and also once WHEN THE SHOPS ID DID COME ACROSS ARE ALL CLOSED.
And how do you not fucking understand that I want to be SELF RELIANT? Why are you too fucking stupid to understand this??? It seems to me that you're the sort of people who always expect to be bailed out by someone else. You probably have someone wipe your backside for you too.
And for the record what fucking business is it of anyone here how water I chose to carry on a ride, of it I want to faff about finding shops or not? It's not. So I don't know who the fuck you are lecturing me. Fuck off
That's all I have to say.0 -
You obviously care fuck all about the environment too, creating unnecessary plastic waste. Even though this has been an issue that has a lot of coverage too. And you also enjoy throwing money away.0

Quite obviously this is a place where one cannot come for any help without the local cretins wanting to pick apart every aspect of how one does things, and finding some way to criticise. What a complete waste of time0

Do you often find yourself in conflict in social situations? Maybe also at work? Often convinced you're the only one that is right and you work with a roomful of idiots?0

And who the fuck are you or anyone here to tell me what the way I want to do things is "wrong"? What gives you the right? Nothing, that's what. Who the fuck do you think you are? Your arrogance is fucking astounding.0 -

I'm in the middle of the countryside, there are no shops for miles, where do I get water from?
It's late in the afternoon, all the shops are closed, where do I get water from?
ANSWER ME!!!
This has to be some kind of wind up, no one can be this dense.
Oh, and what an utterly selfish and self-centre person you are.0 -

Who mentioned bottles? I didn't, that's just a distraction technique for you. I have never once in 40+ years of regular cycling every bought a bottle of water whilst out cycling. I have had my bottles run dry, but amazingly found somewhere to refill them without even the slightest problem at all.
By the way, you curled your lip up at the idea of refilling water at a public toilet. Why is that? Do you somehow think there is a separate lower quality water supply reserved solely for public toilets?0 -
I usually find pubs are open late and are happy to fill your bottles (with water) for free.0

To be fair to the OP I once went to Manston on a Sunday and pretty much found that Kent was closed for the day when looking for somewhere for dinner afterwards.0

This thread is absolute comedy gold !!!!!
ok, I'll bite. Why don't you have 2 bottle cages on your frame, each with a 1 litre bottle. And as well as that buy one of those bottle holders that sit behind the saddle, those triathlon weirdos use them. And have a litre in each.
By the way, I've admittedly not read through all 9 pages of this thread but I'm curious to know where in the UK you are riding.0 -

You're being a bit dramatic, it's SE England FFS. I live in quite a remote bit of Wales at the moment, very low population density, 20 miles or so between towns, still manage to find water if I want it. A list of water sources I've discovered include:
Shops
Petrol stations
Water fountains
Pubs
Cafes
Friendly farmers
From experience in other areas of the UK I can confirm that these sources can be found elsewhere too and in higher abundance. If you'd like to take a trip over here I'd gladly show you around and demonstrate how to access these kinds of services.0 -

Maybe you should be self reliant in finding a solution to your problem? This thread is getting nowhere so I'd give up tbh.0 -

Distraction technique?? I've just multiple comments all telling I me should go to a shop and buy water (and how I was "wrong" for wanting to carry it all with me), and now someone else has done the exact same thing.
This IS a wind up.............0
