Do's and Don'ts for Womens Cycling

[Trouty]

Eleri will be horrified at some of these, as will the rest of the DHBC woman.

I like this one:

"•Don’t wear white kid gloves. Silk is the thing."

But sadly Wiggle didn't have silk gloves when I was looking last night.

How much were Wiggle charging for white kid gloves though? I could use a set for the track.

Seriously, Chris Green was wearing these gloves on our vintage bike ride on Sunday.

The "new" Mother-in-Law, arriving for a long visit.

Bwwwwwahhhh!

[Toff]

The maiden with her wheel of old
Sat by the fire to spin,
While lightly through her careful hold
The flax slid out and in.
Today her distaff, rock and reel
Far out of sight are hurled
And now the maiden with her wheel
Goes spinning round the world.


In olden times the woman rode
As fitted one of subject mind:
Her lord and master sat before,
She on a pillion sat behind.
But now upon her flying wheel
She holds her independent way,
And when she rides a race with man,
‘Tis even chance she wins the day.

I really like 'Don’t chew gum. Exercise your jaws in private.' ...
