Urgh. -3.2° at 8:20. Apparent temperature according to the Trentham weather site (http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/aandjisa/trenthamweather.htm)is -5.1°C

The bike doesn't like it.

Tell you what - you obviously need a gargre.



Or better still - get a gargre. You could put your bike in it. :yes:

wouldn't like to sit on that first thing in the morning, I count myself as a lucky bugger because my bike gets the garage and my wife's car stays outside.

Blue plastic Warehouse type tarp - $10
String or bungee cord - $5
Frost free bike seat - priceless

It's still bloody cold. I've just come in to work and I've gad to wear the sunnies while the rest of me is freezing.

Can't you just wheel the RF in to the kitchen? My Dad once took a bike apart in the bath, so I can't see that being a problem. (Although my gran did seem to remember this for a very long time).

I was very tempted to be sick today.

Maybe I'll go and run myself over with the photocopier or summat. Staple my head to the manager. Tip a potplant over on the nearest dweeboid.

Surely being unemployed couldn't be that much worse than working here.

hooo DUDE! Look after that thing (a FINE looking bike by the way)...and look after you too. It'd be the perfect seat for "cooling your ardour" if you ever needed it though:rofl:

Unemployment is better in every way.


Except financially.

I'm basically a professional contributor to bike forums (I think i'm on about 7 or so). But I'm more than a bit bored with that.
C'mon - someone do/say summat interesting!

There gets to be a point where the money isn't so important, like when you're starting to lose your health. And your mind.

Wish I'd brought the car today, then I could just fuck off out the door. It's not so easy to sneak out when I have to go and get changed, come back to my desk, pack my bag, then walk out through the orofice in all my bike gear.

Maybe I'll go out luncheontime, when everyone will be at the big dinner down the road for the MD. Free lunch. Pah! I'd rather just be free.

That'll freeze ya nuts off... I'll be in Trentham (on business) next to that Pizza-pub with the "HOT frekin toppings" :devil2: mid July, eat one of those and I'm sure it'll thaw out soon enough.
I'll pack some thermal undies cause I'm not eating that shit again.

Like the bike too... :yes:
