Quite zipped along! Less fun with a fully loaded trailer, against the wind, uphill.

I was wondering the same yesterday during the near gale force winds in the afternoon. Struggling along against the Mother Of All Headwinds, I observed that the folk with nice shiny bikes were nowhere to be seen! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3842#post-40251 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:24:59 +0000 chdot 40251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"and it rains"</p> <p>Reminds me of U Brakes.</p> <p>One of the early innovations of Mountain Biking.</p> <p>Worked wonderfully in California.</p> <p>Not so well in muddy Britain. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3842#post-40250 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:22:49 +0000 chdot 40250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"and it rains" </p> <p>Do people with wizzy bikes cycle when it's raining (just askin'). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3842#post-40248 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:19:05 +0000 crowriver 40248@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So when something is plugged in and it rains, bzzzzzt!
