Chorley to Bingley and back, stopping over in the Premier Inn in Bingley. Sunday morning was sunny but proper chilly and we went over a couple of passes at 1300ft+. Could spot the "noobs" among the other riders on the road straight away from the lack of tights or knee warmers.</p> <p>Get a bit closer and sure enough that's a shiny new Trek or Spesh he's riding. </p> <p>Recipe for knee problems. Don't do it folks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8767#post-91489 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:56:39 +0000 BikeFan 91489@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Exhibits for the defence, M'lud.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-track-bike/knee-warmers/zkne" rel="nofollow">http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-track-bike/knee-warmers/zkne</a></p> <p>Or just wear a couple of pairs of tights. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8767#post-91426 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 10:27:17 +0000 Smudge 91426@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hmmm, but I cycle in Scotland and my bike lacks built in knee heaters :-s </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8767#post-89076 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:52:27 +0000 chdot 89076@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Stuart Threlfall (@snowcycleuk)</p> <p>29/10/2012 08:16</p> <p>Keep your knees warm. Your knee joints have Synovial Fluid Lubricant and, as any engineer will tell you, lubricants work best warm.</p> <p>" </p>
