It just feels like too much hassle to ride the that bike (which is indeed a racing machine) in civvies... and of course I'd either need my rucksack (for lunch and stuff) or to put the Carradice on. Maybe I will. I'm going to do the long commute tomorrow, anyway. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10552#post-115919 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:23:00 +0000 Roibeard 115919@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@fimm - "office" shoes in bag?
