  I'm sure it's easy enough to reglove a penis.

  Also, for anyone interested, the "leather" style patch on their bags are synthetic as well so all the luggage is vegan as far as I know.

  I've had a vegan version for years, it's great, would highly recommend.
  Edit: for clarity, I know the Restrap people and they made me a vegan version on request.

  I often ride a bullitt that weighs significantly more than I do around (relatively) hilly Leeds very hungover. You'll be fine I reckon. Just spin away and make sure your gears are properly indexed so that if you end up out of the saddle with all your weight on the pedals they don't skip. That's a really a good way to mangle your knees.

• Books - What are you reading?

  I've only read The Farewell Party and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. I probably enjoyed the latter more but it was definitely far more stylised so if you're wanting to avoid that then The Farewell Party is probably the one to go for. It reminded me a fair bit of Bohumil Hrabal, a sort of weird, melancholic, understated style of writing.

  Finally finished The Farewell Party by Milan Kundera. I'd highly recommend it, I've no idea why it took me weeks to finish it, it's only 180 pages.

  I work as a bike courier and a guy I work with is in shorts for about 90% of the year. I'll be wrapped up in long johns, ski socks and trousers and he'll be razzing about in shorts like it's the middle of summer.
