Modern light bulbs are shit. Dim as all fuck and overpriced. 9 watts. In my day you didn't even consider anything below 75!
(I don't even know what wattage means...)Oh, and they're fucken bulbs not globes!
Upvote for the last line.

Late to the party, but most middle-aged male cyclists are giant piston wristed gibbons.
The best are the ones who drive their Volkswagen or Audi to the cafe, get out their fancy bike and sit with their lycra clad piston wristed gibbon mates outside.
You're an adult, wear some nice clothes and take up golf.

A definite generalisation but one I find I agree with wholeheartedly.
Lycra only looks good on a miniscule proportion of the population......actually no, it merely looks "less bad" on extremely skinny, fit people.

You're about 700 posts behind on this one...
At least the ones you refer too don't clog up the road!

We've done this already, and confirmed (well, I did anyway) that it looks great on me

Don't forget the hobbling up to the counter on special clicky cycling shoes like a scrubber in high heels after too many shandys.

You'll notice its been altered to be a transexual bike, reinforced to manly levels, but with the top bar angled down like a ladies frame to accomodate my belly. A beautiful machine

Never too late for comments like this. Lycra clad tossers.

Worth an upvote on its own but would like to double upvote for resurrecting the term scrubber.

It's summer and the Omaha crowd have arrived from Remuera. The pub has been done up and that is where they seem to be (much to our displeasure). I much prefer our local bogans with no shoes in the pub.
Have you ever seen any of them on a bike (no not her)?
Dickheads.Chuck in the 50 year old "surfies" driving around with boards on the roof (when then is no surf) clogging up the inadequate roads, and not wearing shirts in the supermarket, and you have our summer guests to the region. No wonder you are heading overseas again.

@Snowy Don't get the attraction of Omaha TBH Unless it's the Hamilton thing of "it ain't that great - but it's close to plenty of places that are".
The 21st century Pauanui...
My mother used to call both of those places "Remuera by the sea" and hated them both, in spite of living quite close to Remuera and Omaha over the years.
Omaha used to be great before the knobs moved in. They don't even shop locally and provide nothing to the community. The place has tumbleweeds in winter, just deserted. I loved the place when I was in my teens, used to drive up, sleep on the beach, surf, fish all day. Had the place to ourselves. Sad to go there now, apparently that is "progress".
