Fat isn't fattening if you're flexing the beauttocks for acceleration; it's just metres/second/second that tastes nicer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6100#post-65291 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:57:33 +0000 Min 65291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is my favourite, from the Cycling Embassy article.</p> <p><em>"But in seriousness, we did want a practical-looking bike, the kind you can ride without having to get dressed up in special clothes, or tucking your trouser leg into your sock. Of course at the moment, the road conditions are so hostile we recognise that that's not an option for everybody, so I suppose it's an aspiration: we'd like to see cycling conditions where you can ride this sort of bike if you want, dressed for the destination, not for the journey."</em></p> <p>A nice statement to see, clearly from someone who actually cycles here and knows what it is like.</p> <p>This is my least favourite, from Sarah Storey!</p> <p><em>I always steer clear of fattening or processed foods like cakes</em></p> <p>:-o</p> <p>*reads it again*</p> <p>:-O </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6100#post-65256 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:47:41 +0000 Stepdoh 65256@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads"</p> <p>(Not sure that counts as swearing CHDOT) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6100#post-65217 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:24:24 +0000 Arellcat 65217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Stepdoh, don't you mean "lay-zur"?
