  1. @SpaceX feed today probably one of the most exciting for a good long while.
  2. Mm, greasy roads out there. Just enough rain to lift all the oil out but not enough to wash it away. Don't lean!
  3. Thoughts on the apparent news that ze Germans have cracked PGP [insert cynical smiley here] darkerside.org/otherstuff/dat…
  4. @cocteautriplets @TreadlyAndMe @ruggtomcat @LaidBackBikes looks uncomfortable and unstable, but I'd absolutely be up for a go...
  5. Long term review of @NazcaBikes excellent Fuego darkerside.org/recumbent/nazc…
  6. Also; scorchio. That is all.
  7. Wonders whether tucking rail ticket into hem of cycling shorts whilst sat on train has unintended burlesque overtones. Hmm...
  8. @threefromleith it was discounted when I got it :p
  9. @threefromleith probably not a cycling cap you're after then...
  10. @threefromleith the rapha cycling cap in large fits my enormous noggin. Depends if the holiday is a cycling one...!
  11. Pondering combining the Carry Freedom with a barrel for some superb mobile BBQ functionality. Hmm...
  12. Somewhat rambling review on @ridewithgps, plus my first proper post on Wordpress. How many more reasons do you need? darkerside.org/reviews/ridewi…
  13. Will be modelling the 'one sided slight sun burn' look for a little while, I think. Should've made the route home more of a loop...
  14. Strewth it's hot. Temptation to accidentally on purpose cycle into the loch resisted only out of love for my bottom bracket.
  15. 25 degrees and a cooling breeze for the straight-line commute? One sunburnt right arm coming right up.
  16. The 1640 @ScotRail train out of Helensburgh has its heating on full whack. I'm dying here...
  17. Should've checked the forecast before leaving this morning. Thoroughly overdressed for the ride home. Bib shorts sans top appropriate?
  18. @cocteautriplets @ruggtomcat can we request one? A sort of 'gentleman's collection' of inappropriate yet hilarious illustrations...
