The panhandlers in Sydney always have a sob story to go with it eg "I need money for a train ticket because I was robbed/lost my wallet/don't have quite enough to buy the ticket myself". I,...

I completely sympathise with your feelings on what's happened here.. but I am curious. You knew there was oncoming bike traffic and pedestrians on the other side of the trail, making it unsafe to...

What a cute puppy! Has she fallen asleep in her food?? :D

Badger,

Boo sounds like the perfect cat for you. You haven't been able to get him out of your mind.

But Yang sounds like she might be a better match for your parents. Super friendly, cuddly...

Poor bastard. The bike owner, that is. Oh, and the heart attack victim too, I guess.

Gotta say though, if I had a custom-made bike, no way it'd be just lying in the grass, unattended.

Still,...

Is chip seal this stuff?

It looks like gravel with a tiny bit of tar to hold it together, without the benefit of being steamrolled, or...

Dear stupid dog walker: Your dog does not need a 10 metre dog lead, nor does said lead need to be stretched across the bike path. Fido will quite happily walk on a 2 metre lead, one which will be far...

When it comes to backhanded compliments, the best ones are from family members.

My mother and I were riding our bikes. Mum is an ex-triathlete, someone who was at one time ranked third in the...

Check out BicycleTutor.com. It contains lots of really straight-forward videos and the guy does a good job of explaining things as he goes along.

Good on you for getting back on your steed! Lesser people (like me) would've given it up as a bad job and gone home. Well done! I'm sure your next organised ride won't be quite as exciting :)

What an excellent idea! Thanks for the link, mate.

I like Jaggad Edge shorts. I wear the men's variety, which seem to fit me a bit better than the women's. The chamois on the women's is a bit odd-shaped.

I've also tried Netti shorts (crap) and...

I think it says "Protect the bean!"

Thanks for the LULZ :D

I always have some song or another going through my head, whether I'm cycling or not. +1 to other peoples' suggestions of saturating yourself with great cycling music beforehand. Then just play an...

Yowsa! That looks like a lot of tough climbing. Congrats on sticking it out. Lesser mortals would've given up. Good on you!

Reminds me of a sig I saw on another cycling forum: "Cycling should be enjoyed, not endured."

Max

Yes, the 2010 Ipswich 100. I got cajoled/browbeaten into it by my mate, who in turn pulled out before the ride due to injury. I did the ride with my mum and her mate. By that, I mean, they dropped...

+1 on the tarp. Even using it as a doormat is very handy. I also recommend a hanging toiletry bag like this one. It's just one less thing that can accidentally fall into the manky water of a...

Or crack, heroin or weed! The possibilities are endless! :D

Limewave, I love your commuter jersey.. shame you Northern neighbours ride on the wrong side of the road ;)

There's such a thing as nose herpes??? :eek:

Dear neighbour's annoying kids: I'm tired of your squealing. From the moment you wake until the moment you conk out, you squeal. I can hear you...

Give the puppy a million chew toys. Encourage him to use them. If he goes for something that's not a chew toy, say "leave it!" in a firm voice, take it away from him and immediately replace it with...

I've been on the receiving end of guilt trips from my (now deceased) grandmother, and it's not nice. The best thing I ever did was to realise that she would never change. I cannot control what...

ROFL! :D

I just sent this on to my biking buddy who is also a Schnauzer fan. Thanks for the lolz :)

I struggle in the heat, too. I make myself take a couple big swigs of water every ten minutes or so. On top of that, anytime my mouth starts to feel dry, I drink.

You're right in that...
