Met up with a girly on the cycle path the other day, serious chain suck problem leading to a bent link. Whipped out the appropriate tool and got her sorted out.
All the while getting ohs and ahs about the shape of my leg muscles.

You have also become a fully-fledged bike bore.Originally posted by threaded View PostI've been using lights on the bicycle in the morning for the last couple of weeks, and am just starting to use them for the return trip in the evening.
Also just moved over to full leg bib-tights, a warm jacket and luminous vest.

a month ago (beginning of Ramadan) sun set was after 7 (around 7:15) now its around 6:25 - almost a whole hour difference in one month... sun-set is 2 minutes earlier each single day... till end of October when they add insult to injury and change the time to winter time
