Is that the Angel of the North in the flesh?

No…. no…. no….. no… Jeez no !

If the weather is bad enough for that poncho, I’m tucked up safely in my house/van!

Props to Zoe for keeping the stw crew sane!!

Could be really useful for my commute. Invariably I look outside, it’s dry, get to the bike, starts raining a bit but not enough to worry, 5 minutes later the heavens open and now, while my top half is dry (raincoat) I didn’t bother with the waterproof trousers (because of the faff) and my legs are now completely soaked. I now get to sit in sopping wet trousers at the office for the rest of the day. This would be amazing if it kept my legs dry.

Be good for a short commute or shops. Not so sure of my 10 mile commute.

Poncho? Sounds like they’re saying porn show.

Shonky understanding of the nativity story there … “I thought the Angel was the Star”? … what an irreligious lot we’ve become …. mutter mutter….

In the 70s, a cycling cape was pretty standard. Used to be made of yellow plastic and cost a couple of quid. As a way of keeping dry-ish when cycling in everyday clothes they made quite a bit of sense.

Watch them all again, you say? Maybe bits of them, especially the bloopers in day 9. How often will I watch them? Every day? Mmm, not quite. 🙂

And a Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to all at STW, too. Here’s hoping next year brings better things for you all.

No, it’s the Angle, silly… Someone didn’t read the article 🙄

As I’ve entered every day I thought I’d go for a full house but it’s something I’ll never wear . So in the unlikely scenario I win it you have my permission to raffle it off and give the proceeds to Mountain Rescue .

+1 for the yellow plastic cape, did a 500 mile school cycling trip in 1970 on my sturmey archer 3 speed, it was compulsory to have a cape. We had energy gels, well a can of rice pudding at lunchtime did the trick.

There’s a fellow locally still using a cape on his bike

I had to watch it three times. The third time I gave it my full attention and caught the comment.

In my defence regarding the lack of knowledge here, when my RE homework in school was to talk about my beliefs, I asked my mum what religion we are. She very matter-of-factly said ‘you’re a heathen’.

A version of a cape. Commonplace in the seventies and probably for decades before, doesn’t have to be a technical fabric, plastic would be fine, fitted snugly over the bars and behind your saddle. How much? Add to the other cyclist related rip off products – tyres, brake pads, helmets…

According to the transcript the word “dodgy” appears once and Hannah at no point says the sentence in the question.

Now this is something I could really make use of.

I’ve been looking for a decent quality cycling cape for my commute over the last few months and this one looks ideal.

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Happy Christmas to all of you at Singletrack Towers too, hope you all have a good one and a happy and successful 2024!

Yep, that’s where I ended up.

Bonus point for spotting where the post-it note came from? Amanda??

Happy Christmas to you all x

I really want to win this 🫰

Nope, watched it 3 times and didn’t hear anything relating to the question.

Ahh…cryptic, easy to miss

I think I’d want a clear one so as not to compromise my outfit beneath.

There’s already a version of what Hannah was talking about 👍
