Wuss!

[Mrs Reject]

Got to go into uni on the bike all week as Mitch's bike is at the garage being tinkered with. It's cold, it's icy, it's wet and over the top of the South Downs I'm wrestling with the wind who wants to pinch the bike off me *whimper*
Mitch thinks I am a wuss because he does a longer journey every day and doesn't complain, which is true I suppose.
The bike ride itself is ok, but the thing I don't like about it: you arrive there dripping wet, go into the classroom which is invariably too small for 40 students. Once in said classroom you wrestle to get mound of biker clothing off, armoured trousers, jacket and waterproofs in my case + scarf, big boots and winter gloves. once you've finished wrestling with clothing and disrupting the lesson you leave clothing in a steaming pile at the back and sit down ready to start looking like you've been through a wind tunnel.
Lecturer arrives to say timetable has been changed due to staff sickness so we are all on the campus on the other side of town instead - cue same palaver, clothing on and off, rode to other campus, leave clothing on for 2 hour lecture as can't be arsed to go through it all again!
Lunchbreak, ride to another campus for afternoon lecture - same palaver.
Not to mention if we are in clinic with patients I have to take my uniform and clinic shoes in a rucksack to change into and several big books.
Arrive in clinic looking like I've been thrown into the sea and dried off by being dangled from a harrier jump jet on the end of a rope with uniform creased to fuck and get told off for looking scruffy!
There must be an easier way isn't there - or must I expect this as a biker?:D

Fraid so Mrs R! still look at it this way, unlike some of your contemporaries, you'll have really earned your stripes! or got the art of removing bike gear down to a fine art :D

[wegit]

A biker's life is a biker's life I'm afraid !!!

[ForestFred]

Mitch is right you are a wuss.Stop moaning woman :p

FF is now hiding in a very deep cave keeping osama company :D

[Erogenous Jones]

A biker's life is a biker's life I'm afraid !!!

What he said. Grin & bear it.

Payback will be when you swan into uni in full smug-o-rama mode on a warm spring day full of the joys of, errm, spring :D

[Mitch]

:D :D :D

at least my bike's fixed now - picking it up after work !!

Oh the joys of biking eh lass? You'll get used to it. After the desolation I cause every morning when I get into work, one of those horrible coat hangers that can't cope with the weight of all my bike gear - it's been glad of the rest this past couple of days.

Look at it this way, you're the only woman in LXIX who rides her bike in all weathers (anything that's not summer anyway) - think of the Kudos that brings you. You can do it!!

[Dougie]

Get yerself one of these funky all singing all dancing Aerostitch one piece thingies-nah mebbe not,mere mortals like us can't afford the import duty from the US!
AND the bloody Post Office put a handling charge on to cover "recovering the duty" Feckers!


sorry,rant over.

[Mrs Reject]

It's not too bad for you guys, but think of what us poor wimmin must endure, "mad professor" helmet hair is so last season, biker gear one size too small because we'll "diet into it" but in effect can't get our legs up onto the pegs because the trousers are so tight so have to ride home without stopping, the "does my bum look big in this one piece" dilemma. Not to mention trying to find mascara that doesn't disintegrate in a rain storm - the list is endless :D :p :D

and you thinkm thats just the girls sweetie :D

[acidpixie]

why not get a 'betty boo' style bob haircut? ( easy maintenance)

SIGH!

she was sooooo lovely, she was.

I agree that something one piece, in gortex who cut out a lot of the crap of thousands of layers of clothing though BMW did one ( i think) that wernt too dear either.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!


That's one of the things I love about Mrs R... grounds for divorce that'd be!! She'd be the same way if I had mine cut (mine's even longer than hers!!).

couple of answers to your dilema, go to argos spend £20 on some clippers attach no1 guide and shave your head,no more helmet hair or hairdresses bills ever, as for the mascara buy mitch an airbrush kit for xmas and he can spray you with permanant paint so no more mascara nightmare, jobs a good-un

There must be an easier way isn't there - or must I expect this as a biker?:D sorry girl, it's just something that has to be endured. the real bummer is that we have december, january and february to look foreward to yet. :( still, you'll get there and nothing compares to that feeling in late feb or early march when you can actually feel some warmth off the sun. :)

[BlackPig]

What's the problem,at what other time of the year does yer bike get to be covered in ****e/salt/grit/etc,etc. :D
I think bikes should be parked up in the summer when all the other pooftahs,get theirs out. :rolleyes:
















This is where it's at baby !!! :cool:

There you go about this "sun" thing again, surely everyone knows the sun is a myth and only superstitious country bumpkins could possibly believe in such a phenomenon. In this country we only have freezing, cold and not quite so cold :D there are no shiny discs of gold in the sky :p

[BikerGran]

Mrs reject as Betty Boo?


Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Sheltie]

Mrs R you are a wuss. :p If you want to ride in some real weather you're welcome to come up here and try your hand.

Snow and gales forecast for tomorrow so will start dressing tonight. Ah this happy life of mine.

handy tip

1. Disposable latex surgical gloves keep the hands both warm and dry.
2. On long journeys TEDS (thrombo embolitic stockings) keep the wind chill out.
3. Always carry a spare pair of gloves in case of accidents.

[Mitch]

1. Disposable latex surgical gloves keep the hands both warm and dry.

yesssss. did that once, only when I got pulled by the old bill for riding like a twat (in November funnily enough - more like too cold to control the bike) there I was peeling off soggy damp layers of gloves. I could see the bemusement on the copper's face (as in, is he some kind of sick perv, latex gloves under his bike gloves...? - little did he know :D )

Ffs!!!!!!TED stockings? Still I suppose the tiny trousers would be easier to get on and off if I had compression stockings on:eek:
That's official then, I am a wuss. Well it's time to go out so I'd better start getting the gear on - it takes about an hour :D
