    Calm down, girls. This is the internet's version of Smash Hits' "Which Pop Star are You Most Like?" rubbish that they used to publish.

    I am looking for prologo onetouch black bar tape with the green Prologo. The same that is on the Orica Greenedge's Scott Foils:
    05-IMG_7593-620x413.jpg

    Anyone know where I could find in a shop or online? Can only find the white/black and black/white type. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/prologo-onetouch-gel-handlebar-tape/rp-prod88820
    I suspect its custom made only for the team.

    The wife and kids are back in a couple of hours after a break (from my post-crash grumpiness in particular) away. So now I am desperately trying to remove any evidence that may suggest I've been out on the bike during their absence ....:o

    Classic Rock quiz: I am Creedence Clearwater Revival. The only song of theirs I'm aware of is the one in The Big Lebowski, but that's a good one, so Iam satisfied.

    It brings to my mind this exchange:
    Younger Cop: And was there anything of value in the car?

    The Dude: Oh, uh, yeah, uh... a tape deck, some Creedence tapes, and there was a, uh... uh, my briefcase.

    Younger Cop: [expectant pause] In the briefcase?

    The Dude: Uh, uh, papers, um, just papers, uh, you know, uh, my papers, business papers.

    Younger Cop: And what do you do, sir?

    The Dude: I'm unemployed.

    Followed by:
    The Dude: Do you find them much, these, stolen cars?

    Younger Cop: Sometimes. Wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck though.

    Older Cop: Or the Creedence.

    Is there a physiological reason why after a cycle I feel the need to guzzle coffee? (Or am I just of good taste?) Every time I've been back from cycling I knock back three cups of coffee in about 45 minutes or an hour. I drink a lot of coffee normally, but even then I wouldn't drink that much. And I've often gone the same amount of time as I am cycling without having a coffee and don't feel the need to knock back three mugs.

    Interesting notion that you can thread the lights through a u-lock and therefore leave them with your bike.

    This is a curious one, looks like it could be fun to try though, it's called the Halfbike and they say it combines biking with jogging:

    I, for one, heartily embrace our mutant one-handed cyclist jogger three-wheeled compatriots. They should nicely reset the bar for social acceptance so that the average lycra-clad two-wheeled rider will be seen as positively normal.

    Speaking of shame, I saw a guy out roller-blading in the heat of yesterday afternoon. I glanced over as I passed him by, to see that he was wearing a balaclava under his helmet. I know that roller-blading isn't exactly widely accepted as a suitable pastime for an adult, but it seemed like an extreme length to go to to disguise himself.

    ...or maybe he is a professional ninja and simply forget to change out of his office clothes before his commute home.
