Always fit your tyres with the logo over the valve hole. Then if you get a puncture, you'll know where to look.

On a cold, cold day, tear some paper up and place the pieces down your tights, over your private zone, to avoid the worst pain you've ever felt in your life (stole that from Adrian and it's the best tip I ever had).

It's nice in the morning, and we have a drying cabinet at work that means my kit is nice and warm when I get in it for the ride home.
I really admire riders who wear shorts in winterI never couldWear shorts in sub zero weather, it makes the hot shower feel like heaven!
Do they not mark the rims? As a kid I remember using spoons.

See my 'Your Ride Today' report, er, today!Its nothing to admire, its insane
Don't bother, I'll summarise - I saw a younger rider wearing shorts today. It was 2 degrees C here with a bitter 20 kph WNW wind and he had a bone-chilling descent to do from the summit at nearly 400 metres ...
