Colin H Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Passing through Inchinan towards Renfrew this morning I let a bus out of the slip road . Attached to the back along with an advert for a womans sanitary product was a dayglow green cyclist giving it laldy I have my suspicions that this was Mr McLean and if so we should all be worried 35+ mph maintained all the way to Renfrew shows that this winter commuting lark is obviously paying off and we are all due a kicking in the forthcoming reliabilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted January 16, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Colin Yes I was on the bike en route for Renfrew Tue am but, 35 mph? In my dreams. Really p*sh weather limits commute at present. If it's not frost, it's mental wind. Only Mr Blom is hard enough to be out in all weather now. OT: Coby, are you Graham Cockburn from the Ivy?

coby Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Got it in one Alan. I am that man and it was also me that was clipped onto the back of the bus. However, I wouldn't say it was all the way to Renfrew, more like the end of the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Van Rental Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 If anyone knows the rider completely in black with no reflectors and minimal lighting who heads eastbound along Mill St Paisley and turns right onto Glasgow Rd about 8am each morning, please ask them to brighten up a bit and become more visible? It's either a female, or slightly built male? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted January 17, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Coby I knew it couldn't be me at 35mph down that road. well done. I was in today in dirty cold salty east wind, yuck. Lights failed on the way home. Crazee. Do you have a fixed time for the commute? we could meet in Renfrew sometime. PM me if interested. Hope to see you at some events. Long way to Bearsden, safe cycling. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coby Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 You would know about it if that light failed, it lit up the sky the last time I saw you. Did you have to go home in the pitch black or do you have a back up? I have two front lights and two back lights just for that situation. Start work in Renfrew at 7.30am so normally coming through Inchinnan about 7.15am, finish at 4.00pm and coming back home at about 4.15pm, probably doesn't suit you. It may be a long way to Bearsden but it's an even longer way to Milngavie, 25 miles round trip. It keeps the weight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted January 18, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi I had a backup light and my backup, backup(sic) light but still needed to divert to the cycle track in BoW for a safe trip home. When you're used to 70 watts a couple of wee LEDs don't really cut it. Milngavie is well distant, nice work. Your times are 30 minutes too early for me but I'll doubtless see you around.
