tip of the day!

[runner]

In the winter always heat your clothing up before going out in the cold. By the time this heat has gone....your body heat will have taken over...simple!....lets pass on some wisdom/tips to keep our wheels rolling this winter (spring is just around the corner...hurrah!)

 

[Truth]

Wear shorts in sub zero weather, it makes the hot shower feel like heaven!

 

[Hip Priest]

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

 

[Turbo Rider]

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).

 

[Slioch]

Use metal tyre levers. The plastic ones always break.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Only tip I can give:

Loose Button in the three thirty, it's bound to come off

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.

Do they not mark the rims? As a kid I remember using spoons.

Talc the inside bead on your tyres. Makes fitting them so so easy

See my 'Your Ride Today' report, er, today!

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 ...

There you go, proven insanity....
I honestly only ever wear shorts on the bike and they aren't cycling shorts either, just old cargo shorts I used to wear out and about.
