Old grouchy bike guy complaints

How about a " CABE Skirt Guard Awareness Day"? That's constructive.

In my area people tend to ride their bikes in everyday clothes. Which include long coats. I assume that is the reason skirt guards are called "coat guards" over here. And are common on both men's and ladies' bikes.

I will keep that in mind when I vacation in Yurp.

It's natural to complain, and we all do it now and then, but if people in the world spent a fraction of the energy they spend complaining on worthwhile things, many diseases would be cured and broken bicycles fixed.

These days I try to force myself to find at least one good thing for every bad thing around me that I find. It's not always easy, but it's better for you in the long run.

Why does my comment on this thread draw so many comments ? Lets start a skirt guard thread.

If you must wear a skirt while on a bike ,keep it short so you wont need a skirt guard.....

It's easier to complain, than say something good about... lets say skirt guards.

Any Jehovah's Witness that stays on Vince's porch after they've been warned, better be wearing a "squirt guard" He's pretty handy with a hose.
