irresponsible transport of lager, reckless endangerment thereof, it just goes on..

I was riding home the other day and there was a guy in a dianese jacket, helmet and gloves on his bike...

I thought "squid"

but then realised the only diff between him and me was the fact that I was wearing office slacks... not shorts.... dont think that would do much to protect me.... and neither will jeans really...

Last couple of nights, I have been out for an evening putt, just in a T-shirt, fingerless gloves, trackie pants and runners with no sox

Very little traffic about, and I really enjoyed the ride...........because I was riding s-l-o-w-l-y (well, relatively ), and it was just too bloody hot to get all dolled up for a 5-minute squirt over to ProblemChilds for a quenching B&C !!

I feel so naughty........someone better get over here with a whip !!

Mina comes with his own whip, but its about 6" round and 5ft long

I dont think you can even buy a doughnut big enough to fit around it

don't be talkin' him up now !! he might start getting pm's from the hordes of nubile young wenches who inhabit this place !!

Sure kids gear is pretty hard to find... but it IS out there if you look hard enough.

saw one the other day with a kid on the back in shorts and T-shirt sitting astride the slab of beer strapped to the back of the bike...it's ok to be stupid but please don't breed or we'll never break the cycle...

breeding is about the only thing that should require a licence.

Lol, you'll never get them to agree to that one.

That lets me out then.

Hmm I score a 1 out of 3 on that...and I'm neither young nor nubile

He'd be happy with a pulse (although its not *really* mandatory..)

sometimes that goes missing too but then the old ticker starts up again

22 years of riding to work & weekend jaunts you get used to sweating it out... & the relief at the end of the ride is great.... 38 deg today!

Once when I was riding my bicycle to school I low sided at about 10 km/h or less (damp road and trying to turn where the sidewalk meets the road) in my school pants. I'd imagine they're similar to office slacks. Yep, they're useless. It was pretty much straight down without sliding and it still tore a hole and made me bleed.

Squids should think back to their childhood days whenever they think a "slow" 50 km/h ride is safe.

Yeh... my freind squided and learned the hard way... came off his NSR on a corner. I still squid it occasioanly with a shirt and shorts accompannied by thongs.

Only round my very small town though, I always get in full kit if im going for a proper ride or somewhere for a reason.
