Your darkest cycling secret....

[purplepolly]

Just memorise the rear cassette teeth, then the fronts, and you'll be OK.

That's the problem, there isn't a front as such - 3 hub gears and 8 on the rear cassette

I like riding sit-up-and-beg Dutch bikes (in Holland).

Ah......... get 3 on the front as well = total confusion...... 3 x 3 x 8.....argh

I thought the 'C', as in 700C, on a bike tyre meant 'Cycle'. Until last year

I can't help myself, I'm so competitive. I can't resist the urge to race other commuters.

Even towing the trailer home on my uber-commuter with a folding bike and a PC inside it, I still tried to get on the wheel of a roady who passed me.

Still, I'm not as bad as some. I won't take extra risks or jump reds to get ahead.

I currently ride a Peugeot Carbolite 103 Tube Special road bike.
But I'm afraid to say: I love it! It's light enough to me (been riding a big bulky full suspension cheapo mountain BSO for nearly a year so compared to that, this bike is really light!).

I drive a big White Van sometimes....

I much prefer messing about with bikes to actually riding them.

I drove this until recently (the one on the right). My current truck is smaller but still quite big.
