But i am not known for my tact. Tho i am known for not having more than one shirt and one pair of socks with wee bicycles imposed upon the fabric. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20020#post-320588 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 20:35:20 +0000 sallyhinch 320588@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If only they would give me merino kit, I'd be happy.
