Frozen Saddles

We've just been to Center Parcs which means lots of outdoor actvities, sport etc. You can get around on foot but cycling is more fun. One evening we cyceld to the centre to watch Love Actually - a very funny film. It was cold when we got there and I noticed frost appearing on the saddles of the bikes already there.

Whilst waiting for the film to start we were chatting to a woman I had met earlier in the day. I mentioned that there was a nip in the air and she said that she had forgotten to put her plastic bag on. "Madam, I don't care to know the intimate nature of your undergarments" was my, quite natural, response. Maybe it was incontinence. Karen tells me people put bags on their saddles to keep the rain and frost off but that can't be right can it?

it's true. if you come to cambridge (student town - loads of bikes) in the winter you'll see a fair few people with tesco baggies on their saddles. functional but not something i'd do!
