There's another way? Surely doing the least possible amount of work when you put your socks on isn't nerdy...europa wrote:I was just standing at the line, hanging up a load of washing, feeling rather smug about the percentage of cycling clothing in the load, when I noticed I was hanging up socks in PAIRS I think my nerd index just went up a notch

I do too, mine are all weathered wooden pegssenator52 wrote:I like matching pegs
The line inches of cycling duds nearly equalled the line inches of non-cycling, so I must be getting the balance about right somewhere ... or I'm having one of my 'intense' periods again

I have found another use for washing lines of the hills hoist variety. They are handy for hanging the bike on when I am working on it.

As for the articles, I've rewritten them on my website - maybe they even make sense now that they no longer bear any relation to reality Hang on, nothing I write bears any relation to reality

Make sure you own more than one set of clothes, so you don't have to be naked while you are hanging clothes out.
