MargieH 5,900 Report post Posted May 11 Yes, the D is for 'dangly bits.' I think the children will all remember the A B C D now. I think it's a good idea as I know I've caught a full skirt on the back wheel several times over the years. Apparently all the children found it very funny, but then they are only 9 or 10 years old...... and haven't got over the stage of 'toilet humour'. (I know.... some never do!)

plantfit 6,646 Report post Posted May 11 You wouldn't want to get your dangly bits stuck in owt,especially if you are a lad,the dangly bits when you ride a recumbent trike are only four inches above the road surface Rog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 1,525 Report post Posted May 11 I seem to remember many years ago in the Triassic age they used to sell ladies cycles with a sort of plastic shield over the front half of the rear mudguard. When you looked at it from the side it looked like a quarter of a pie chart. Blokes could get a bike with a complete chain cover to protect their socks, when trousers were tucked in, when you had no cycle clips. Can you still get them ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 6,646 Report post Posted May 11 The early ladies cycles had strings threaded around the rear mudguard down to a bracket near the wheel hub to stop the long skirts being pulled into the rear wheel, you can still get the clear plastic skirt protectors to fit rear muguards, Rog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 1,525 Report post Posted May 11 Must admit, I never got my skirt caught in the rear wheel. Used to get oil scuffs on me socks though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 619 Report post Posted May 11 To my wine addled brain, this was amazing ... Was watching “Bosch”earlier on Amazon, based on novels by one of our favourite authors, Michael Connolly. Mentioned to the missus that another author I like, James Lee Burke, has a main character who has an adopted daughter called Alafair. Burke himself has a daughter called Alafair who is also a novelist. 10 minutes later 2 characters in Bosch, meet in a cafe. One has a book and you can see from the cover that it is by ...... Alafair Burke!! Oo-er, spooky! Wonder what the odds are? Too late to buy a lottery ticket! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
