ParticipantIf you can read this, I’m going too slow.

Rule 5 awesomeness.

ParticipantI use a two-finger lever mounted almost right at the stem for my “oh shit” brake on both fixies. I’m also using narrow track drops. Not sure how well regular road levers would fit.
Paul makes some lovely levers. Highly recommended. http://www.paulcomp.com/brakelevers.htmlParticipant@birddog 60441 wrote:
What will make these shoalers stop?
You could try pointing and laughing while commenting on the irony of shoaling as a coping-technique for feelings of inadequacy.

I have to say that Rule #5 clearly does not apply to weather-related issues. Consider this…Rule #9 states that “If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.” Notice that it does not say, “During times of bad weather, see Rule #5”. No, riding in bad weather falls outside the scope of Rule #5, since Rule #9 implies that riding in bad weather is an exceptional circumstance, because you are a badass for riding in it, rather than stating that you need to HTFU and ride in it. #confessyourunpopularopinion
As opposed to reading Rule # 9 as a validation that you have met the requirements of Rule # 5?

Guilt and shame have gotten me through many a practice and race.

Sorry, but someone had to say it.ParticipantHonestly, it’s not that complicated and doesn’t require a new wardrobe. Just gently roll your pants, shirt, (vest), undershirt, socks, tie, and shorts (optional if you have a predilection for blue face paint). Turn your suit coat inside out and roll it separately, put the whole schmeer into something water-resistant, and then try not to mash it in your backpack/saddlebag/whatever. Moving to French cuff shirts without pockets does help. After all, you need the cuffs and collar to remain presentable when you’ve got the jacket on.
Shoes, belts, and overcoats stay at work.
Between motorcycling and cycling, I’ve been doing this successfully for close almost 15 years.
