Discussions on the merits of various 4x4 vehicles and the best sort of HGV to drag-race against hot hatches. Steveo being concerned for the stability of his bike, despite reassurances that it was the boat that was rocking and not the bike.</p> <p>The cycle-chic experiment was mildly successful, but relied on my not cycle-specific (unless you're the cycle-specific police) merino base layer for moisture control and definitely cycle-specific gilet to control for wind-chill factor. Oh and I also had cycle-specific gloves and cap. And shoes. And sunnys.</p> <p>For those interested in the prescription sunnys, I used <a href="http://www.sportsshadesonline.com">http://www.sportsshadesonline.com</a>. It's a website store for an opticians in Merseyside. Got great service off them, they called me in response to an email query and the stuff was posted same day and arrived the next.</p> <p>When I ordered them originally I required to send a copy of a prescription. I think this is required legally so that they aren't dispensing an incorrect prescription. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5371&page=3#post-63426 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:42:31 +0000 Uberuce 63426@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I, on the other hand, will use the excuse that I need to keep one foot in the childish camp to maintain a professionally vital sense of empathy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5371&page=3#post-63422 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:25:21 +0000 spytfire 63422@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"you two are grown men, and you're sniggering like schoolboys at fart jokes?"</em><br /> Grown?
