The source hair of a comb-over was defined as the Scraptoft by Adams and Lloyd in Liff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298323 Mon, 24 Dec 2018 09:40:14 +0000 gembo 298323@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@iwrats, I think it counts. I used to hav a little twist under my lip. Due to my love of Tom waits. It was entirely ginger. There is an actual name for this something like Hope Spot? I moved on to an Il Diablo style but that was very scary looking. neither of these could be classed as proper. The guardian once published a short letter I wrote to them whilst holidaying in Ardnamurchan. This was about the length of Bradley wigginses side burns. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298319 Mon, 24 Dec 2018 01:04:29 +0000 unhurt 298319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@sallyhinch I feel that struggle </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298315 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 23:35:03 +0000 I were right about that saddle 298315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>people with proper beards and on their second bike since their late teens</em></p> <p>Not sure my current beard is 'proper'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298313 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 23:05:07 +0000 sallyhinch 298313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm on my second bike since my late teens and appreciate a nice Carradice (while having a fondness for cow patterned shopping bags on my own bike).

Had not realised that "front" does not automatically generate the meaning of "small enough for front or back" if you don't spend a lot of time thinking about panniers / coveting panniers etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298299 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 20:08:33 +0000 unhurt 298299@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Speaking of which, aren't you supposed to be at a pub, location undisclosed except by carrier sparrowhawk? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298297 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 20:05:24 +0000 I were right about that saddle 298297@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em> As had abandoned it Friday for drinking and partying.</em></p> <p>An important and often overlooked distinction. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298296 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 19:48:59 +0000 Stickman 298296@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A cow pannier?

My late lamented cow pannier was always good for a ride-by compliment from strangers </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19355#post-298293 Sun, 23 Dec 2018 18:33:21 +0000 gembo 298293@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was told I had nice panniers today by stranger at bus stop as I returned from Scotmid. They were my old shopping panniers (ortlieb brand).</p> <p>Earlier I had cycled work bike back from town. As had abandoned it Friday for drinking and partying.</p> <p>I was extracting smiles from passersby through central Edinburgh and then up the WoL Path. I think the Pom Pom on my tam o'shanter is what does it. </p>
