And on that note, can't wait for my lunchtime commute home (West) and back @ 1pm-2pm.
40kmph headwind carrying the end of a rainstorm...
Keep pushing!

I crashed while commuting. Where does that leave me?

And me, utterly lost now. I crashed when not commuting on my disc brake road bike... Also crashed/hit when commuting with lights on. Thankfully I wasn't wearing Rapha on either occasion.
Lol, I hope you're proud of what you've done. See, nothing good comes from all that short socks triathlon lark!Now I am become Death, the destroyer of Pedal Powered.

Where do I talk about getting my ass bike on my bike and losing weight again?
Been a while since I posted. And I've been incredibly lazy. Ended up putting some weight back on. Need some motivation to shift it again!

We can endlessly call you fatty boom boom and request a man with a tuba to follow you around?

That's quite cool, loving the harlequin esque paint job.

He definitely makes some unique, marmite-like designs. I for one like the quirkyness.
His personal TT bike for example...

A bit of it yes
Not on purpose I should add. More like missed it, rather than skipped it.Dad was visiting for a bit, so spent time looking after him (He has Parkinson's
). Then just got into a bad habit Quite disappointed in myself to be honest. Missed a lot of good riding days.

It's so easy to miss a week or two of decent riding & all of a sudden a month has gone by.
I've been rather lazy myself this past month or so. After most of this year clocking up between 100-200 miles a week, I haven't broken 90 mile in a week for nearly 8 weeks.
Need to put a bit more effort in for the end of year goals to be ticked off.

i got ran over when commuting
Did you get back up and finish your commute?
I'm not a fan but for a unique look on a unique custom made frame (I'm sure with a hefty price tag?) I'd expect no less!
What more motivation do you need?!
I always find some putting any of my trousers on and laughing at how much slack is in most of the waistbands!
Recently threw all of the 36" waists away as there's no chance I'll be back into them as even 32" is now quite slack (just too tight around my thighs so I'm generally in 34"!).

He has issue for anyone riding anything more than single speed steel frames with leather saddles and cotton clothing.
He's also a highlander. He doesn't ride wearing a kilt so is a contradiction to everything he stands for.
Commuting is a quick fix for that!

None really. I've just become quite lazy! Although, my girlfriend has joined the gym with me (Shock horror the gym in road cycling!). That and the turbo (the other thread I know
) will help me.He has issue for anyone riding anything more than single speed steel frames with leather saddles and cotton clothing.

Hey! I have feelings too
Women. They achieve spectacular things sometimes.
