I hate the rain.

Which way do you run? By which I mean I start my day in St Ives. I guess I must have spotted you before....

every day usually on there from around 7.05 towards Cambridge, get off at Histon around 7.45.
Coming home on ther around 5.20 and home by 6.

Maybe your one of the regulars I see every day coming the other way !

I am on the blue Trek, blue helmet, sunglasses !

No thanks, I'd miss my gears too much!

Gears are for pussies. Fact.

No, I'd be going the same direction, I think I've used you as a pace setter before, some weeks I start a little earlier, this morning I was on the busway at 06:40. Black hybrid, normally in red/black, sometimes with helmet.

Some might say that fixed/single speeds are for posers; they are SO trendy right now, me, I don't care, I like my gears.

They are very fashionable. I suspect many SS riders also buy Sex Pistols t-shirts from Top Man.

Bless, you're old.

Top Man is about as fashionable as bog roll.

I don't know if you missed my irony, or if I'm missing yours

I got your irony, and trumped it with flat out abuse.

I wear black, head to toe, it's the new high-viz.

It's going to absolutely shed it down on sunday morning just as I put my front wheel on in the car park at St Ives to ride all the way into Cambridge. I might just drive all the way to work. I work the next 9 days and the forecast is not great. I have variable start times. Early shift I start riding about 7:20 - 7:30 am depending on the wind to arrive at work for 8:30am and if later start riding several hours later. Never under estimate a Brompton although at the mo I am riding my road bike strangely a blue Trek as well, there are a lot of them, as my Brompton needs a new BB and bottom hinge if you have been following my thread in folding bikes. I really need a new commuter bike. My written off commuting bike still hasn't been replaced from when I was knocked down nearly 18 months ago.

But the grit is a problem. I think it comes from all the horses that use the GBW which collects in their hooves and falls out on the tarmac. The weather forecast is not good for this week. Oh well at least I console myself it is better to be riding on a traffic free road than not at all.

Get a fixed or single speed and stop this fannying around cleaning nonsense

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure SS/Fixed bikes still have wheels to flick road crap up on to the bike, and a chain to be cleaned and lubed.
