Same stories, again and again. I've learned not to respond to anything he says or he will try to hook on to me for the next hour. Painful. Anyway, he rides his bike to work most days. About a nine mile commute. And he sweats. Hard. Even in the winter. Which in turn means he smells. Bad. Be nice to your co-workers and do not commute unless you can shower when you get there.

He was firmly of the belief that he'd have a bath once a week, whether he needed it or not. And cycled five miles or so over the moors (so plenty of ascent and descent) to get to work. He was fragrant. Thankfully, he retired when we moved to the office (with showers) that was now some fifteen or twenty miles from his home.

Second the Helmet drill absolutely. - (Ashton) - July 30, 2017, 09:53:59 PM EDT

Helmets are interesting - (pwhysall) - (5) - July 31, 2017, 04:26:58 AM EDT

The place is essentially two dimensional - (scoenye) - July 31, 2017, 07:13:10 PM EDT

"..probably ignore all that and go for the full-face helmet and Kevlar body-armor" - (Ashton) - July 31, 2017, 09:06:05 PM EDT

When The Wall fell, I had a basement full of homebrew and a freezer full of venison here in The Land of the Free. All quite legal, unless I committed capitalism, in which case it becomes felonious.
