A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

We were doing it on purpose, missing the point I mean
My technical clothes come from decathlon and after a spin dry at 1200 rpm need about 15 minutes to dry. My brother's merino and possum socks (the ones he makes) get washed when I think they might be a little smelly but that can be days in the cold season.
If I wore "the wrong kit" and suffered from dampness as a result then I would wash it when required; i.e. when it smells. Different materials behave in different ways. Socks made from Angora goat wool do not smell after many days of wear, whereas cheap manmade fibre ones, in my experience do. I've bought cycle clothing in the past that have caused "dampness", a; by not wicking away sweat and; b, by causing condensation. They end up in the bin petty quick.

Those things topple very easily. The c of g is too high. When you go fast and one of the back wheels hits a bump, over you go. Broken shoulders are likley. Avoid like the plague.
and, if you notice from the picture, the rear is unbraked, note the two brakes on the front.

Jeez, that thing looks absolutely lethal!and, if you notice from the picture, the rear is unbraked, note the two brakes on the front.
Yes, it an oddity in the law that trikes can have the compulsory two bicycle brakes on the front wheel. Most single front wheel trikes have been like that for many years.and, if you notice from the picture, the rear is unbraked, note the two brakes on the front.
As d8veh has posted, these large wheel trikes are very dangerous on bends or even on uneven surfaces. They're rather better in 20" wheel versions like this Powabyke trike or with even smaller wheels.
.
unless it wasnt a spelling error.. Larger could mean bigerer.. barrels not cans..
Tandem trikes are even worse, the Stoker needs to work very hard to keep the barrow on the road,friends of mine used to have one, till they had to give it up, due to the Stoker losing her mobility.
Thing is they also were very strong cyclists as well.
Back at work today, I remembered this optimistic post of mineI'm stuck in the de-electrified zone.
My old cube/Bosch has gone and the new one due sometime in January.
For now it's analogue only for me
When the new bike arrives I won't be held back by the surrounding hills
10 days off work and I managed 9 rides of 8 to 20 miles each, some a bit windy others a bit cold but on none of them did it rain, which was nice
tbh i have not met one person that have said anything about them in person other than they all want one just cant afford it.
the dh riders wont say no to a help up the hill thats a sure fact at fod
cant fkn beat them going down tho
