Sod's law

[kapelmuur]

When I started cycling 7 years ago I bought a cheap pair of arm warmers from Aldi which I've worn ever since.

With the coming of chilly mornings I decided that I deserved something better, so I bought a top branded merino wool pair.

First time out I slipped on a patch of gravel, toppled and tore a large hole in the elbow.

Well, if youd had the arm warmers on your elbow would have been well protected from such damage.

What brand are they? Some of the more expensive types offer a repair service.

Bet you said "Darn it" when you hit the deck?

You had me in stitches.

Only a bit of fun - no 'arm in it.

I have the same. If I have a decent shirt or something, you can bet your arse that something will spill on it that you can’t wash out. This never happens with my cheapo T-shirts....

Keep them for Sunday rides, perfect day for holey arm warmers

Swap arms over and revisit the spot. They'll match then.

Oops did I post that?? ^^^ I should have said - is the bike OK?
