Obviously the answer is yes, yes it would. Surprised you even had to ask.sungod said:

Are you fat Thistle?thistle_ said:
I often think that about my bikes, and I bought them from new.Wheelspinner said:
Have persisted with fixing up the old TT/Tri bike I bought a few weeks ago which was in worse nick than it looked at first. Got it mostly sorted to use on the turbo... but I'm not convinced it's worth the effort.
That's what happens when you haven't cycled to work for 18 months.

Per sg above, jings felt cold earlier. Sun starting to break through, bring it on. Need to loiter for a courier delivery, supposed to be Tuesday on ordering it last night, now saying on its way. Upsets the schedule for ride, giro and beers. Though delivery is of replacement deflector plates for the gas barbie.0

Morning folks,
Traditional slow start is being enjoyed. Bit more pottering today, out for dinner later before starting our isolation. Daughter getting worried, she's as proficient a worrier as her mother. Weather should be good again.0 -
I figured a fair bit of it is just the different position working different bits but my knees are about the only bits left that aren’t already f^cked, so I really don’t want to upset them. 😀thistle_ said:
I found similar when I first put a set of clip ons on my bike, my knees and glutes didn't like it but after a while it got better and even went that other way - riding on the drops/hoods would hurt my knees/hope.Wheelspinner said:
And it is. A lot of fiddling with position and I found I could do about 45 mins on the trainer, with 95% of that time down on the armrests fairly comfortably. Lower back seemed fine too.
But knees weren't so keen.
Quite sore today after that.
I’m going to get a different trainer and see how that works. The old one I have basically limits me to riding in one or two gears at most, at a fairly fixed (high) cadence to get any benefit at all. So will give the Tri bike a go on that before ditching the concept altogether.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
Next to skate park is a lovely forest.

My folks live in Denbigh now so usually a few times a year. Obviously not for the last 18 months, of course. Moel famau is one of my favourite places in the world.tlw1 said:0 -

More local boys than I realised! The next visit will just be for the day since we still think staying with them is a bit dodgy (COVID plus mum’s health is poor) but next time I can take a bike it sounds like a plan!tlw1 said:1 -

Used to be an amazing place for MTB, less so these days, but might be a case of rose tinted cycling glasses.
Moel Famau is great if you like Scousers.0 -
Nah. Just don’t go at Sunday lunchtime and go up the Ruthin side not the easy mold path! 🤣thistle_ said:

And failing that, pop up foel fenlli instead0 -
My in laws are a bit mental. They were gifted more than 1 and less than 200 krugerrands by an eccentric old friend of theirs. Instead of being sane, and keeping them in an safe deposit facility for a couple of hundred a year, they are in a cheap safe like you get in a hotel room, not secured to anything, behind a panel in a fireplace. Won't listen to reason. An old lady with a stick and an old man who smokes 40 rollies a day and a cheap burglar alarm with a back door that could be kicked in by an arthritic ant, that's the best sort of security in East London.0

My nan used to withdraw every penny of her pension/benefits on a Thursday; never ever trusting banks or building societies and then hid the money around the house. Bake bean tins emptied from the bottom and then stuffed with money - all sorts of nooks and crannies. The place was a hoarders hole anyway, piled high with old newspapers and junk.hopkinb said:My in laws are a bit mental.

She was robbed twice and on both occasions, hardly a penny was missing.
My (natural) father always went on about a man they thought in his locale was a tramp. The tramp passed away. This was in the mid fifties and he did have an abode (the cliff houses carved into rock in Bridgnorth - TLW?) and there was £20,000 literally, under his mattress.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Ethel the Smoke used to have a tobacconists next to Edwyn's. She only dealt cash, never used tills, old cigar boxes filled with cash everywhere.
One night some miscreants paid her a visit.
Two weeks later every single penny was returned.
It seems local bad people didn't appreciate Ethel getting done over by two lads from a different manor who didn't understand the rules and so, as the vernacular goes, had a word in their shell-likes......The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

In other news, I installed a WiFi mesh system this afternoon and it's ace. Getting 70mbps all round the house, 30mps in the garden even, was lucky to get 3-5 in the garden previously.0 -
What brand? I’m tempted to do similar. The sky router is rubbishelbowloh said:
