The monthly wash & lube of the Commuter bike over the weekend made for totally silent ride apart from the freewheel (White Industries XC ENO s/s freewheel - that extra dog makes for a cool freewheel groove).
I’ve now got a 'Controlshield’ BBB jacket (in black/black) for the commutes & honestly I really can’t wear anything substantial under this thing without getting too hot. This morning in the 4degree winter June morning air it was just a cotton Tshirt I had on underneith & it still came off a little too damp.
In the work supplied changerooms (which is pretty comprehensive where I work now) - one fellow bike commuter was saying to another fellow bike commuter - that he did over 300kms on the weekend. This may have sounded impressive, but he then added that it was over the 3 days. To be honest, I feel that no claim to bike mileage is allowed unless it is ether done on the one ride, or that it is precluded by the span of days first before any mention of ‘big mileage’ is quoted so to put it all into its proper perspective.
