Jane OTP and I shared not one, but two lifts, one each end of the Greenwich foot tunnel.
Me returning home from Walthamstow.
She returning home from somewhere much nicer.
Good to see you!

Does spotting Forumites' bikes count?

Wowbagger with loads of other cyclists at Battlesbridge, Essex earlier today. The place was rammed due to a classic car show and the arrival of a dozen or more cyclists added to the chaos

I was spotted by clarion outside the Co-op in Bampton on Friday evening. Which is just as well, as I wasn't really paying attention.

Yesterday the little duck and I cycled to the London transport museum. On the way home we spotted Speshact outside Balfe's bikes in Kennington. I would have paused but we were on a mission to get to tooting common for ice cream before the cafe closed.

Spooky. Look who spotted me on a platform, Friday night. They were off for Type 1 fun, I was headed for the Type 2 variety.

I don't know which is what.

I'm going to assume that the top 3 are cycling, food and sex, but I'm damned if I can say what order they come in on any particular day.

Kim · « **Reply #3591 on:** 30 May, 2016, 07:07:19 pm »

The enumeration order's pretty critical with those: Cycling works best after food, sex after cycling is likely to be a disappointment, that sort of thing.

Type 2 fun is like fun, but different. See also: Audax.

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #3592 on:** 30 May, 2016, 07:07:43 pm »

Type 1 was, on this occasion, music and beer. Type 2 was audaxing - like fun, but different.

Standing up to relieve numbness after too long on a badly adjusted saddle can sometimes feel like combining cycling and sex.

In general, sex and cycling are good for each other, although admittedly jumping on someone the moment after they've finished PBP or LEL is unlikely to be the best idea.

Jumping ON them might be appreciated. Expecting much of a response right be optimistic.

It was great to see CrinklyUncle on the Beverley 100km Audax. What a fantastic day out in brilliant sunshine. Tan lines all round.

I briefly spotted and chatted to Adrian, when he was on his way to watch some cycle racing around Croydon town centre, and I was on my commute home and trying to get to Argos, to pick up a couple of eBay parcels before they closed.

Is that his race face?
