You see something new every day...

[Mikkel]

It's been a rather cold day in Christchurch, I'm sure anyone biking to work today can confirm this!

I took the bike in to work this morning and despite wearing woolen undies, good socks, thermal glove liners, a good sweater, etc. it was still pretty damn fresh.

Anyway, since we were going to a friends farewell do this evening my partner picked me up in the car and we drove to the venue.
On out way I saw this guy riding a cruiser through central Christchurch. Now this guy must be a different kind of life form altogether, get this:

T-shirt.
No gloves.
Crocs.
No socks.
Open face helmet.

I mean, holy shit - sure if he gets cold he can always lay it down and enjoy some friction heating, but then again... It probably was around 7 degrees celsius and pretty damp. :crazy: :eek5:

:buggerd:

No brain - No pain

:devil2:

[alanzs]

Electric vest liner make my body nice and toasty... Some day I may even go for the grip warmers; someday...
Crocs, what's up with those? A friend and his gf wear the same coloured crocs. Looks totally lame :stupid:

[hang0ver]

Haha, you guys down south are damn tough! Much more so then us Northerners...

Croc's? Not a member of the NZ Olympic team?

[_intense_]

Heheh, don't worry, living in wellys made me softer im sure.. i used to be a "hard southener". Quite looking foward to feeling a good frost at the Brass Monkey!

[DingoZ]

There is a difference between feeling a good frost and being able to feel your nuts......:eek5:

:cold:.......:wacko:........:crazy:.......

[_intense_]

mmmmmm... creative smiley use. bling comming henceforth!

[MaxB]

Maybe he was on a test ride or a mechanic on a quick shakedown run.

The most likely explanation is that he is clinically insane, the crocs are a dead giveaway.

[Swoop]

The guy was probably from Invercargill and considered Chch the "tropical north".

Saw that at a conference in Wellytown a couple of years back. We Aucklanders were freezing out tits off, the Welly guys were wrapped up - but looking comfortable, but the Invercargillian was walking about in short sleeves... AND SWEATING!:lol:

[rainman]

Hmmmm. Torn between saying he's just another tough cruiser rider and blaming it in temporary insanity as we're normally smart enough to get the ATGATT message.... :crazy:

[Blossom]

Hmmmm.. I wonder if he was just trying to be staunch??? Some men are like that I hear.. :devil2: Ah if he only knew of his fame on kb eh?

[Mikkel]

Definitely not, most certainly his own bike and he looked comfortable enough.

I doubt anyone would have been sweating standing around outside in Chch yesterday. :no:

All that said, he was carrying some insulation - he was by no means a small guy! ...still it ought to have been bloody cold regardless. I was entertaining the thought that he might be drunk though - Beer Gear (TM) really works a treat.

Bare feet or crocs - wouldn't make much difference if you came off I think.

But bare feet would have to be terribly uncomfortable I'd imagine.

Just crazy :crazy:

You are the sweetest thing but no, really you don't wanna see that, I recently had a medical and the doctors retired now on mental health grounds, uncontrollable giggle fits, the b'stard tried to sue me for intolerable cruelty but thankfully he lost cause he had actually told me to take my undies off. :lol:
