    my knees so bare kneed it is. T

    Until you can cycle no more that is.

    You must be the only person in the world to whom the keep limbs/joints warm in winter doesn't
    apply. :-)

    My knees are warm. There is a significant flow of nice warm blood flowing down to feed my calf
    muscles that are pumping like crazy. The internal, working parts of my knees are, therefore, fine.

    Much as it may be true you do not have problems yourself, what you say isn't correct. The parts that
    have the tendoncy to get damaged are not far under the skin. The warm blood in the arteries is a lot
    deeper, and the blood supply to the skin may well be turned down to the minimum. The tendons going
    over the bony bits of the knee are those at particular risk to this problem.

    I've had this problem on a bike in summer, but brought on by coolish rain.

    If you find your saddle's giving problems, it's time to get a recumbent ;-)

    And only a few minutes away. It took a fair while getting into open countryside from my Edinburgh
    flat in Marchmont.

    I am returning to Edinburgh this year.. I notice it has expanded somewhat since I left.... As you
    say.. its a long run to freedom from Marchmont

    Nah!

    You're free once you get onto the canal at Gilmore Place. And even from deepest Marchmont that's no
    more than 5 minutes by bike.

    Of course, if you want proper open country then you'll be on the canal for a good few miles.
