Don't forget the bright yellow rain coat. ;D
Yes I was thinking about that, legs are going to be strained until I get back to being use to it, as well as the ass.Quote:

Why is this in the exclusive thread, this needs to be off topic? @Andre
It rained heavy all day so had to put the yellow anorak on but it did the job, trouser are a bit wet. Horrible weather I hate the wind and rain.
Ha the irony of a cool click.
We have taken back full ownership of the Sun for a few months. :cool:
Cloudy most of the day, but no rain and the temp was down a little. :)
I am really beginning to hate the rain more and more. Ruins the day at work having wet trousers and socks. I also have to take a longer route home because the subway is being fixed and they are taking months. This means I have to cross a dangerous junction to get over the road and I have had 2 near misses already. :(
Make a cardboard cut out of a RPG, paint it and strap across your back when riding your bike. They will let you go where you want to go. :)Quote:

I hate carrying the extra weight because the 2 locks that I have weigh a lot in the bag already and I am sure it caused my back to strain.
Saying all that if my bike got stolen I would get another one straight away it is saving me money I would spend on the bus and my knees are stronger than it allowed me to play football again.
BTW I love pussy but do not want to be one.
i bike everywhere. from the first day i can see the road thru the snow til the day the road disappears under it. biking in the rain is glorious.
I go everywhere by hoverboard or teleportation, Star Trek style.:flamed:
:liar:
Actually I usually bounce :bounce:
Fell off my bike this week. They have closed a subway and I have to go on a pavement and cross the road at the lights. Anyway I hit the pavement with my pedal and fell over and cut my ankle. The most embarrassing thing was the pedestrians watching and the cars looking at me in the morning rush hour.
Get your dick out in times like those, it fixes everything.
It was that cold I could not find it. :rolleyes:Quote:

'Sore' Bradley Wiggins thanks well-wishers - Home News - UK - The Independent
Fell down again FFS!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
Riding in the snow is dangerous especially on the pavements. What will I do tomorrow? :confused:
Hey Master, great to see your persistence in the biking thing.
You've inspired me to start looking for a bike to get to work.
I started exactly a year ago and I feel so much fitter, it has given me confidence to train harder and play football again. Best thing I have done. Read this thread on problems like stolen wheels, falling down and swallowing moths but it has all been good so far. :)Quote:

Update on my bike I will be getting thinner wheels to go faster. The ones I have are really made for difficult terrain and the the hardest I go on is the pavements and potholes.
This is my bike although I added bar upright extensionshttp://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a.../img0n1857.jpgIts Giant Boulder SE 21 speed. You could climb a tree in first gear lol.Quote:

Happy riding.
Its rubs it skin with the lotion.Quote:

The clockwork room at the end eerily predicts the intro to 'Time' from Dark Side Of the Moon. People will tell you that 'Bike' merely inspired it, but they would be wrong. The Floyd entered a wormhole and actually wrote and recorded 'Time' before Bike. Floyd and Music in general proves time travel is indeed possible. I swear to God it is no longer 2013 as I write this. Not that I believe in God. He doesn't need my belief to sustain him. Master just rode past my window with Bilbo E.T in a basket and disappeared behind the moon.
Awesome Original Animation from Silly Wabbit - YouTube below. I get the feeling he is a young student. Show him some love by Liking his Video. We were all young once at some time in the future.

Dont know about you mate, but I can recognize the seeds that grew into The Wall material here in this track.

I have got slicker wheels and very fast to get to the train station. I have to go through subways because they have closed my routes. Need to clean and oil the bike and saw this guy. He is brilliant.

I got one of them, really cheap and good quality an old military bike!
That looks like a tank to ride, too heavy, your legs must be built.
That's what em ladies wantQuote:
