Chain cleaning videos.

They're like shaving videos, ya know, where the guy has clearly already clean shaven and now he puts the foam on an wipes it off with a razor, this suggesting that he has just shaved and it was so simple.

And chain cleaning videos are the same: they clean a chain that's already clean. Wth?

There are some cycling videos from a certain .... YouTube channel, where they have titles like:

How to ride your bike alone. (uhm, just kinda... Well go out and ride I suppose).

How to ride with your friends. (let's see now, call them, arrange a place to meet, then ride? Or am I missing something here?)

How to keep your hands warm when they're cold? (Would this have something to do with gloves?)

I don't believe it, I done it again. Sorry everyone! I just see the "trivial things" bit and don't bother reading the rest of it. My bad!

Just gave my sketch of a sales stand for some bicycles to a client.

Now I've seen him collecting wood with the sketch in hand...

Just thought I heard a former Australian cricketer on the radio say "I slipped in the bathtub'. No, he meant he slept in the bathtub, not slipped in it!!

Why was there a bathtub on the cricket ground? Is that an Australian thing?

Er no, I think he meant in the team's hotel after a game. 🤔

In the late 1980s Newcastle Brown produced some promotional watches. I wore one daily until 1993 when it started playing-up after the battery was replaced. I thought the watch was worn out and put it in a drawer where it remained for the next 30 years. Last week I found it again and put another battery in it. It's kept time for the past few days, it was the battery that was at fault!

As I was just typing this Going back in time a long way to 1977, on a CC thread, when I heard a radio phone in caller Say "I'm going a long way back to 1977". He actually said it about 0.5 of a second behind me as I was typing it! That is so crazy!

I'd be more concerned that it has become so blurred, you can't see the time properly!

Having been out for the first proper ride on a new bike today, I have become reacquainted with the pleasure of having a kickstand.

One of the greatest inventions since the safety bicycle.
