My FIl always used to relate a tale about a cycling tour of Devon & Cornwall just after WW2 whenever D&C were mentioned, I used to say that was some achievement on a Penny Farthing, he used to reply no it was an ordinary bike, never had a GSOH, bless him

Yep. On second thoughts though, it looks a bit nippy outside today so I might just stay in and watch telly.

I'm still chipping in to help pay you for doing that.

Many thanks. On behalf of the millions of us on furlough, keep up the good work although I am a personal and corporate tax payer myself so my taxes have probably chipped in to maintain the roads that you travel on when you visit East London a "hundred times a year".
I’m just off out for a dog walk up to our local department store (dog friendly) to see if I can help out the local economy.

I did it, I did it! Went over the 'lotty.

 

[Mottie]

I cycled to my local Halfords store today (3.2 miles!!) to pick up some cable ends and by the time I got there, my arse was well sore so I bought a gel saddle for £40. I fitted it on outside and cycled home. No effing difference!

You need to ride more regularly.

You also need a saddle with a groove down it that takes pressure off the nerves in your perinium; that way, you don't get pins and needles in your old fella.....
