that is nothing compared to the -20 of shamus

I was on a telecon to a colleague in Moscow and I made the mistake of complaining how cold it was. 'Oh, it is cold here too. This morning it was -25, I had to have a breakfast vodka just to warm up enough to come to work' she said. Class!

I've had frosted beard/hair/eyebrows with ice on the handle bars and frame with just the rear mech working.

Great fun.

Well lunch today was 2 mangoes on the back step, followed by passionfruit and banana on ice-cream.

Nothing to do with the cold, just saying...

I've never heard of gears freezing before, but last year when i went riding in the snow my freewheel froze! I had to pedal ALL the time it was riding a 21gear fixie!! Also on the same ride one of my mate's Fox forks froze solid. We did offer to piss on them but for some reason he declined!!

Nice start. i got the tube to work. All good. Bikes are lovely and tidy at home in doors. Wouldn'tr put amy bike through that weather. Like i did last year. The damage done to rims, forks etc just not good.

British people should not complain about cold weather cos it's not cold, but crappy weather, cos it's shite !

we are -7 now and that is nothing compared to the -20 of shamus

Complaining about the weather is a national pastime. It's either too cold, too wet, too windy, or even too hot.
Still, musn't grumble.

in my 3 years of London(2005-200 i found out that there are 2 big blasphemous rumors about UK, in this case England...."the food is bad and the weather is shite!" NOT TRUE AT ALL... I'd rather stay in London with its average temp at around 15c , than in Bucharest with 40 in summer and -15 in winter! practically only spring and autumn are ideal for cycling here, while in London, i remember cycling the whole year around!
