    Default Cyclists are like Woodies!

    I had a chat to a female colleague this week who told me she keeps finding new bikes at home. In the Inquisition he claims that he needs the new one with carbon forks to dampen the vibrations. The other one was for those rough rides in the bush after work with the kids- you can't take a roadbike there! And you need one for the workout machine. It goes on.

    But it did remind me of SWMBO finding a Leigh D4 and asking, 'Have you bought a new xylophone for the kids to play?' And at first sight of the Festool router, 'At least its not orange like that Triton stuff!'

    "I don't get that orange colour, the only thing orange is OK for is sunset photos and the Dutch hockey team — hello"

    Yes , at least your Triton stuff will never be stolen by a female.

    The other comment this lady made was that her husband always 'hangs out' at the bike shop. Must admit SWMBO claimed that my membership of Home Hardware would probably be cancelled soon because I was 'even drinking coffee at the bike shop'.
