    The bread thread just got me thinking – l keep my bikes in a cellar which is damp (smells damp, cardboard goes soft, that kind of thing), and the soft bits of the bikes (saddle, grips) tend to gather a bit of mould on them if they’ve been left a few days. Up until now i’ve just given them a wipe down with anti-bac and thought nothing of it. Last night however, l pulled one of them out of the cellar and noticed the frame and wheels had the same thing on them, but a bit furrier looking. Cleaned it up, thought nothing more of it. Until now…

    Will l die?

    Don’t ride in your bare arse and you should be OK.

    As long as you ride it, and not eat it, you should be ok.*

    *Probably.
