"By cycle wear I meant general stuff, not pro kits. And by history I meant european history.

"Last time I checked, cycle clothing was stretchy.
The most practical waterproofs to use are softshells. Plenty of space for boobs and what not.

"My dad and thousands of other people worked at the battery, such a important part of bimringham heritage. So annoying that they turned it all into the dreariest of retail parks."

"Pink is boys colour. Its only in VERY recent history it started to get associated with girls.
There is plenty of generic, black cycle clothing. I personally have never seen any pink cycle wear in my life. "

There is plenty of research out there to say regular soft foam helmets are not robust enough to protect the head from anything much. One of the major dangers in a crash is hard pointy objects hitting…"

Richard Smith said… - Hi
I recently joined Birmingham Cyclist but I don’t seem to find many social rides
through the site.
So…….I’m contacting as many members as I can just to see if I/we can set up a few
Rides locally.
Is this something that might be of interest to you?
Initially I may organize a meet in a bar in town so everyone can put a few names to faces and gauge what the interest is.
For my part, I really enjoy the fun of cycling and do 50-60 miles per week.
I’m by no means a hardcore cyclist!!
Hope to hear from you soon
Richard Smith
