Nearly had a VERY nasty puncture

[Pete Biggs]

I found a pin in my new Lusso Coolmax shorts.... just before putting them
on. Phew!

Good shorts anyway. Recommended. Just check for pins sticking in the
backside! (At edge of pad, from outside).

Good ride as well. I did my occasional trick of riding directly into the
wind as far as possible before getting bored/tired, then blasting back
home with the tail wind.

That's a touching faith in the constancy of the wind!

do they still have the "Woman .. dont make a ******** of my best bit of
kit" washing label? Mine do, but I remember people opposed to fun
getting on a PC battlebus about this a while back.

Mr rides aren't /that/ long :-) Wind direction tends to remain about the
same for a day. I don't mind if it changes slightly!

Sadly, Lusso dropped the label after the complaints.

which is a real shame. I'll continue to buy Lusso stuff 'cos they have
the spirit, but if I suspect folk of excessive PC-ness I shall refuse to
buy from them, endorse them or brake for them. :)

Must get some of those if they do - my wife has wrecked two pairs of
cycling shorts recently, not to mention my Very Expensive goretex winter
gloves. :-(

(And yes, I /do/ normally do my own laundry. I even sometimes do the
laundry for the whole household.)
