Calling out the kiwis

[MIXONE]

Come commute in Welly over the winter.That would show you that many kiwi blokes and blokettes ride all year around.

Because why ride in the rain when you can ride in the sun?
If it's rainy I'll get other shit done that needs doing and hold it off till it's sunny.
That way maximum enjoyment/productivity is achieved.

I have no problems riding in the rain. me and the boy went on the Maraetai loop today for a cobweb clearing blat and only saw one other bike on the road. Maybe that's because all the other poor buggers were at work

There is no point to riding unless you can get your knee down

It's weird riding in the rain atm, cos it aint cold like usual! just watch out for oil spots, puddles, be extra vigilant for smidsys, and it's quite fun

also, why isn't the op doing it properly and getting a knee down at the track on a bike he built in his shed from old bits of roofing iron and number 8 wire in 2 days. Hmmm?

you can do that in the rain ... problem is most idiots on here will also get their helmat , shoulder & other parts of the body down as well

If you get your knee down on the open road you are trying too hard to be a wanbee, if you don't get your knee down on the track you are not trying hard enough...

@ OP. You're confusing me with someone who cares.

C'mon, bite ya fucker

Yeah, I have no friends as well.

I suppose you must teleport yourself to their house instead of riding?

Heh, from the poof who would rather ride on the road than race....

Blame Mastercard for that one.

It was the first free weekend I've had in ages. TBH, riding in the wet was far preferable to the blistering hot sun (and melted tar roads) we've had recently.

I did make a better effort later!

Riding in the wet isn't all that fun because I tend to take it really easy when the roads aren't dry.

Likewise, and got taught a short sharp lesson when I didn't
