Do you see cycling as some form of punishment?

I just think it's more of a challenge in wilder weather and therefore more exciting

Mutt pick him up next week......

I think it's the best time battling against the worst elements the weather can throw at you, it also motivates you to cycle faster so you can get home quicker, cycling on warm sunny clear days is just "meh"

Try cycling on 22 mm tyres in 6 inches of snow and let us know how you get one :rolleyes:

Yeah because there's a constant layer of 6inch+ snow through the whole of winter in the UK... :rolleyes:

First time in 48 years of playing I've had one of these -

New keyboard arrived this morning from MM, been looking at them for quite a while but one popped up so i decided to snap. Set of cheapo keycaps as well that arrived yesterday. mainly bought for use with my surface when out and about but quite enjoying the 60% life. Now just to change the switches over to something more worthy of typing on than reds

EDIT: excuse potato pics, my camera app on my iphone 6s doesnt open my shutter so have to take them through snapchat or the facebook app which compresses the hell out of them.

You don't cycle very much, do you?

No but there is a constant layer of slop and wet clay this time of year and the roads are just suicidal with the standard of driving.

Have to laugh at these fake cyclists with their trainers too scared to venture outside on their bike for half the year

Just LOL.

Not only is it unpleasant and higher risk in relation to both road surface and visibility than riding when it is bright and dry, there is a far greater chance of becoming ill by drawing in freezing cold air into piping hot lungs.

I've no qualms riding outdoors when it's miserable but once your hands & feet go in the cold weather and you suffer a mechanical or puncture have fun getting going again with no dexterity.

Funny how there's actually a higher degree & quality of work done indoor on the trainer than outdoors and greater level of self-distraction required.

Sounds like he rode a bike, once upon a time...

If cycling 6 days a week doing a 14mile circuit with only Sundays for rest no matter the weather is not very much then, yes, I guess don't cycle very much

I am friends with someone on Facebook who does all the Strava stuff, he recently did some massive distance and Strava wouldn't upload it. The fallout was amazing

We had more car chat after the porsche and maclaren posts (multiple) to be fair.

The thread has more waffle and less pics each day.

And when pics get posted look what happens

I used to love Strava rage, a lot of guys in work used to do local routes really competitively (shared lengths of commute) man they do not see the funny side of you doing it on a motorbike
