Because you're supposed to tuck your gloves into your sleeves -
otherwise when it rains all the water runs down your arms and into your
gloves.

Because you can pretend you're in The Wild Bunch, or The Three Amigos.

(I lost a screw on the front mudguard on the way home, that's a
strip/clean/refit job for tomorrow lunchtime)

Don't you check for loose bits so you catch them before they fall off?

So you can afford to buy more bits you don't really need.

... Chinese takeaways always close on a Tuesday?

Ours is open 7 days a week :-)

I guess my wrists are too thin (that's a first for me!), gloves under
sleeves still leaves a gap.

Well it seemed fine when I checked the tyres and pressures this
morning and no rattling to note on the way to work.

As long as you promise we'll get a summer when I can enjoy being off
and outside ;o)

There are two on my commute and they both close. I think the other
one in town does too. I met a guy whose family owned a Chinese
restaurant too and he said they always closed on a Tuesday but he had
no idea why.

It's their quietest day of the week. Monday night and some people are
still in weekend mode, while others get into weekend mode from Wednesday
night onwards. But Tuesday nights are dead.

Back in the Old Days[1] it was hip to go out on a Tuesday, just to show one
didn't have to get up the next morning.

The System is well pleased with this Unit's performance, which
falls within expected parameters.

Pal up local - also keen cyclist - is an ex croupier. Chinese night
with Mah Jong tables etc in the places he worked was Tuesday!

So people say, but logically this means that no-one genuinely remembers
the 60's, in which case how can we be sure that the decade ever actually
happened?
