Thought I'd share part of the conversation I had earlier tonight.

Me: ........ and in May I did a 108 mile cycle

Wow that's impressive! How many days did that take?

Me: Just less than 8 hours.

No, that's not possible

Conversation with my non cycling wife. Me "I really could do with a touring bike as neither my road bike or the hybrid commuter bike is ideal for camping tours"

Her " How can you need another bike when you still only have one backside to sit on it? "

She really doesnt understand the N plus 1 thing.:biggrin:

Tonight's conversation:

SiL: What are you doing this weekend?

Me: I thought I might cycle to Whitstable - I've got friends there.

SiL: Will you take the train down?

Him...'ooh its a lovely bike, how much did it cost ?'
Me....'about £650'
Him...'but you can buy a car for that kind of money :ohmy: '

And then you tell them to even more incredulity..that £650 is really entry level pricing...you can spend an awful lot more'

Sat outside a cafe with a couple of friends a few weeks ago. One of them and me:


Me: .....and I really enjoyed my ride the other day...

Him: How far did you go?

Me: Just over 50 miles.

Him: Ooh, you must be mad. Engines are available...

Me: Why don't you have a go? You could just take it steady round the block to start with...

Him: Oh, no chance, it's not for me. I think riding like that doesn't do you any good...




I should point out with regards to the last bit, that this particular chum is 4 or 5 stones overweight, never eats anything green, and was lighting his 5th fag in the space of an hour as he said it without a hint of irony!!:biggrin:
