Cycling

FB, yes.

I've never heard of it either.

I would love electronic shifting, but it'll cost me £1,500 so I'll probably get wheels instead when I have that sloshing around.
Mechanical shifting is perfectly adequate mind.

I think you should invest in a klaxon, a proximity alarm and a few airbags first. Maybe some spectacles to donate.....

My local 10m TT course is, I think, hors de combat because of roadworks at the A522/A50 junction at Uttoxeter, so I don't think I'll get to any club 10s this year. I've given up cycling seriously - I mostly run nowadays, since my sons appeared on the scene - but I did a 10 in mid-2015 just for a laugh... I'd barely turned a pedal for years, and my time was nothing to write home about, but it was good fun!

 

[The Pits]

Do you think you will be back on the bike in time for this gethinceri ?

This is when the annual Naked Bike Ride will return to Cardiff

 

[gethinceri]

I started walking again yesterday, The Pits, it was decidedly uncomfortable and I'm very sore today.
They have asked me to lead the ride but I have had to inform them that I'll have to firm it up closer to the event.

 

[cider_and_toast]

I'll have to firm it up closer to the event.

Is that quite important in a naked bike ride? Surely it would get in the way? Is that why you carry a pump on the bike?

Make sure your nipples are nice and tight. You don't want loose spokes dangling out of your flange.

Mrs B was born in Rotherham and lived in Wickersley FB. She doesn't dress in tight lycra though.

I will pass this on to her.

Two months later......

 

[The Pits]

You are, of course, utterly mad.

But i love you!

 

[Titch]

I believe he's married The Pits

 

[The Pits]

He is indeed, to an amazing lady, as am i. They both put up with our passion for cycling.

Why that should preclude my affection i am uncertain.

 

[Titch]

Well it was very tongue in cheek The Pits . I was implying that you and he couldn't really cycle off into the sunset together. ( Yes I know you weren't planning, on it )
Do I really have to explain a joke ?

 

[The Pits]

I know. So was mine

And Geth and i have cycled off into the sunset on a few occasions already.

It was everything i hoped it would be!

You are free to join in Titch if you would like!

 

[Titch]

Thank you. Unfortunately my knees wouldn't allow such shenanigans. I could hobble into the sunset, but it wouldn't be a good look.

 

[The Pits]

gethinceri and i both have our frailties, i mean Geth is mostly mechanical now, altgough long overdue a software update.

I think youd fit rigbt in Titch !!

 

[gethinceri]

Your predictive text needs a fucking software update.

 

[The Pits]

Its not the predictive text, it is a fat fingered fuckwit!

Or maybe i do it on purpose....
