@realSiegfried @ascentale @MarkBrigham @Trailanderror @bikenite @zed same in England. As it happens I'm a cyclist and a biker, but not at the same time
(and I get very annoyed when motorcyclists refer to human-powered bikes as "pushbikes". Seems somehow pejorative)
@ascentale @bikenite London UK, where I live. Nothing yet but I have new rear brake pads waiting to go on my muddy-rides bike. Will get around to that sooner or later
@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite i should clarify that it wasn't a permanent pond but a temporarily flooded hollow in the ground I encountered during a rainstorm. The water falling from the sky had already made me wetter than the water I fell into.
Fun ride, but mostly only in retrospect
@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite that said, I did fall off sideways into a pond once, and the contents were dry when i got home despite having been fully immersed
@MatthewNewell @ascentale @mjr @bikenite this is not a recommendation because it doesn't meet the criteria - just a comment. I've owned both ortlieb and vaude, and I would say the rack fittings on the ortlieb are more secure. Couple of times over rough ground I've had the vaude pannier come unclipped
@etchedpixels @pluralistic for clarity, this is England & Wales? (Scottish Greens is a separate thing)
