You may guess I'm a newbie here.......

Person On Bike = Someone who woudn't identify themselves as a cyclist

They often ride Bike Shaped Objects = £60 lumps from Argos

but they all get struck by the P**cture Fairy who dishes out deflated
tyres . Not to be mised up with the paving slab fairy who dishes out
paving slabs to those wearing bibshorts

Surely it's "pedestrian on a bike"?

Does PF do orange chains too, or is that someone else?

Whoops. Didn't realize the P stood for person. I have been thinking it
was something else on a bike especially in the context POBSO.

I've just sent her packing with a new chain. I seem to have a new bike
again. <vbg> I was going to take the old one off, clean and lube it.
But I found it was a smidgin over 1% longer than a new one so a new
one was got. Has anybody else noticed that Wiggle don't seem to do 8
speed SRAMs anymore?

Well, when the chain gets worn, what else can you do? A new bike is
much nicer than a new chain :-)

I've refrained from asking this for ages - as I read something warning
me not to mention them early on when I first starting reading this ng -
but I've not found out why not....

What's wrong with bibshorts? (Aside from the fact that people of my
physique look even sillier in them than normal shorts...)

(Sorry if I'm going over old ground but I'm not aware of an FAQ...!)
