So I’ve wandered around the house all day wearing women’s clothes.
I find it reassuringly comfortable, and it makes me smile.
Want to make something of it?

So, it's now the month of July and I'm going to have to pay to watch the TdF, for one month only. On a tablet unfortunately, as I didn't manage to get a laptop to rig up to the TV, grrr. Just wondering, what package will I have to fork out for? Not wanting to pay for the wrong one...

Not that it sounds like a dealbreaker given the other faults you've identified, but that cable isn't really a "proprietary" cable, four pin magnetic cables like that are quite common on bone-conducting headphones and other devices (my inexpensive smartwatch uses one) and they can be had for £4.99 on UK Amazon.

There was never really anything to say about le col kit. Most of it was alright. Some of it was poorly designed/made. Trying to position yourself as a Rapha competitor whilst always offering 40% or more off doesn't scream premium though.

Up next in the MucOff product line; for when the cassette won't budge, (chain)whip-it!

(Plus I'm pretty certain TDF team leaders don't drive themselves to the start nor bring their own bicycles)

@MaxiMinimalist Absolutely, and there is not one inch of middle ground between cycling there and using an incredibly selfish and wasteful supercar, is there? Fortunately I suspect the whole thing is AI, as the footage on his Instagram shows the numberplate GT3...

That Dogma colour scheme...Don't hate it - but reminds my of the Orange Clorkwork I had in '95!

My last collision with a car happened like that too, except we were pulling from a red light and she didn't signal til I was next to her. But I wasn't hurt, damage to my bike and clothing was minimal, and she stopped and apologized profusely, explaining she had a brain fart and simply forgot I was there. Fair enough. I already knew her insurance adjuster, and we had a good laugh.

@wtjs I got an NIP ref and subsequent update saying "The case has been transferred for court proceedings." but nothing after that (request to attend as witness or result). I've chased the police for an update but I won't be surprised if I get no response.

It’s all a bit busy for my tastes – understated always floats my boat, what’s wrong with a little black dress, such a versatile garment… so I’m told.

they are all a bit ‘fashion’ arent they, I mean you could find those in topshop (perhaps!?)…next thing you will be wearing wet look/fake leather arm warmers.
Have to add that the pirate element brings somthing to the table though 🙂

Interesting, but it’d be a whole lot edgier and more challenging to pre-conceived notions of gender-based cycling style if you were wearing one of these…

Is it padded, and if so did the shape of the insert make much difference? Might be on for one of those myself :O

it’s just a wrap-around ‘skort’ so any padding is, er, natural, or whatever shorts you wear underneath, i’m not sure that “does a scotsman wear anything under his kilt” rules apply

Showing my ignorance, I thought a skort was a combination of shorts and skirt – so shorts with an added wrap around bit for those who feel to exposed in just shorts.
I’m confused now though, what’s the difference between your skort and a normal wrap around skirt?

it’s a technical microfiber fabric, with a rear stretch triangle so you can shimmy your hips in comfort through singletrack, and it has a little front pocket for puncture patches/condom/tampon (delete as applicable).

But aside from the condom it sounds like it is giving you less protection than a pair of shorts?
