How To Guides
  • “The breast pocket

    “A humble adornment, but, according to Boris Johnson in response to our inquiry, it’s the single most important accessory to cycling. Over to Boris: “When you’re cycling and you want to stop talking quickly because you’re about to hit the car in front, you need to put your mobile phone smoothly away in a fluid action, to ease from the breast pocket to the handlebars in one swift parabola of the wrist.”"

2 Responses to Elsewhere … Skirt or trousers

    Maybe someone should send “Boris” a nice big “Hang up and drive!” t-shirt or something.

  1. well…

    around town
    or
    commuting

    when commuting there are definitely tricks
    leaving the lock and a pair of shoes at work
    leaving a full change of clothes at work and using the local dry cleaner

    going to a party or a club can be different
    but
    heading to work there can be some little things that lighten the load

    fenders, chain guards, platform pedals, and racks…
    along with a subtle pace can allow for street clothes
    but
    I like to break a sweat
    so I tend to dress for cycling when on the bike
    unless I am headed out for a drink
