I had a 8-10cm wide lipoma removed from my back yesterday under general anesthetic, so no riding for a bit lest i pull the stitches. <sigh>

When you are playing the part of a sightseeing tourist a bike makes heaps of sense. For those reasons (as well as the usual feeling of wellness that we get at home).KonaCommuter wrote:Although walking is an experience. You see more when you’re riding than when you drive.

you're just teasing me - the weather isn't helping my cause (riding, but no extra KMs). Not looking good for the start of this strava challenge on Sunday eitherComedian wrote:I've got a sore back and the physio has prescribed me one week of life without cycling. BIATCH!

Damm, Steve...my GoCard has had a workout this week due to the rain, I'm not prepared to get wet before I gett to the end of my driveway!Comedian wrote:I've got a sore back and the physio has prescribed me one week of life without cycling. BIATCH!

If your bus trip was like mine yesterday morning, it might make your back worse! The driver was alternating between 100% accelerator and 0% accelerator in a 2-second cycle all the way, apart from when he was texting. His eyes were also rolling around as if he was trying to watch the gravitron. I was thinking, "and I'm paying for this?!?".marinmomma wrote:Damm, Steve...my GoCard has had a workout this week due to the rain, I'm not prepared to get wet before I gett to the end of my driveway!Comedian wrote:I've got a sore back and the physio has prescribed me one week of life without cycling.

you need a wet weather bike. I never clean Kermit...just occasionally wipe and lube the chain.jasonc wrote:I rode every day - 1.5 hours cleaning the bike tomorrow is my punishmentmarinmomma wrote:Another bus day, a whole week of the wet stuff, it better be fine next week
currently discussion n+1 with Mrs JasonC. But the +1 would be a weekend (only) bike leaving the Giant for the CCR action and would still be ridden in all weather (have been discussing mud guards with InTheWoods)Comedian wrote:you need a wet weather bike.

That's a reason not an excuse. Your presence here is unnecessary.jasonc wrote:I've got a very sick daughter - she won't be allowed at day care all week.
Maybe the excuse should state "the daughter has something that is possibly contagious and lots of people at work have young kids"Mulger bill wrote:That's a reason not an excuse. Your presence here is unnecessary.jasonc wrote:I've got a very sick daughter - she won't be allowed at day care all week.
I do hope your lass comes good, much rather be sick meself than have one of the kids that way.
Agreed. This thread is for people who are too soft or lame to ride; not for people who are being good parents. Begone.Mulger bill wrote:That's a reason not an excuse. Your presence here is unnecessary.jasonc wrote:I've got a very sick daughter - she won't be allowed at day care all week.
