A whole 10 pages on this thread and nobody did n+1

n+1 = the number of bikes that most cyclists desire where n is the number they currently have

When you have a keyboard in front of you, why is there a need for acronyms? Okay, if you re going to mention something more than once in a post, fair play, but you could simply say it once in full and add the acronym in brackets.

I just wondered!

One I use is WNRttP - Wednesday Night Ride to the Pub.
My local CTC does an evening ride stopping at a hostelry for refreshment. On a Wednesday, usually.

Of which I am pleased to say has seemed to have caught on. Cheers Si
