You ever too lazy?

[Poecilotheria]

Finally a break and getting some sunshine but you just cant be arsed to ride. The many steps it takes to get it out makes you think meh?

For me-
Switch off both alarms
Uncover the bike
Take off front disc lock
rear disc lock
Front and rear chains one key one combination
turn the bike around in tight space so side stand turning
push it forward
unlock back gate
unlock front gate
lift bike round a tight turn then push it down the alley with 1" either side
warm up the bike on choke
go back and lock the gates, run through the house get gear and then be ready to ride. It just seems so much right now

For local trips yeah, that's why I jump on the bicycle. Personally I don't like going for pleasure rides, I have to be going somewhere.

[Andy_Pagin]

As a daily London commuter it takes a lot for me to want to get on the bike yet again on the weekends.

I don't get excited about riding as I do it everyday. It is nice though the first few weeks of spring my favourite time of the year just after the clocks have changed and it is light going to work and light coming home after months of it being dark/cold.

Plus that odd joyride what will see you banned/dead to Whitby for fish and chips on a nice summers evening.

[pinkyfloyd]

Turn off one alarm, get dressed and washed, throw a coffee down my throat, Gear on, onto bike, turn key, walk bike backwards out of bay and ride away forward.

Sometimes, but it's supposed to be fun so I don't beat myself up about it.

Getting my bike out is a massive faff, I hope to have a large ground floor wrap around extension added to my house soon.
Currently getting quotes in from bricklayers. Then at long last I'll have a garage again amongst other things, reducing my faff
time by a good quarter of an hour each time I want to go out. Yes, it really does takes that long.

Yes. I used to take the bike out rather than the car to go to various places,but it become too much effort compared with grabbing the keys and jumping in the car.

Although when I took my bike out for the first time after thinking I would never ride again was probably the best ride I have had in many years, It's still a faff, but the wife is away this weekend so I'm going out on it, faff or no faff.

yes its a massive faff, several locked gates, locks & chains, leathers, boots etc but I always remind myself that when I can't be asked I always regret it later listening to bikes howling past on the main road and the sun is shining so now got to the point where I forced myself to go out last November on a group ride just as I was getting ill and feverish, made it to the meeting point and made my excuses then went home to bed!

Even after 41 years since I first started riding,I have no problems with getting my gear on,even at short notice,so as to go riding.Every day is different and I have an increased heart rate at the thought of getting out on any of the bikes that I own.

Bring on the warmer longer days

Yeah, I couldn't be bothered to kit up for a short ride so it became either a good few hours or I couldn't summon up the will.

So I made it less faffy - bought a jacket and kevlar jeans combo, shortie boots that are easier on and off, and bought a Kriega US20 so that strapping things to the bike became a whole world easier.

This improved usage a lot.

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Sometimes, even more so after the bikes were nicked and I added additional security on the garage door. Annoys the crap out of me with the number of keys I now have.

I wish I could leave mine out front and maybe anchor it to my car, it would go missing in a night. I leave it out front in I am going out on it again but had many too close lookers.

[pompousporcup...]

currently, with my work routine and commuting distance, yes i do.

I work 6am til 4:30 + any additional hours i want to do. Either side of that there is a 1.2 hour commute. This time of year its dark and cold so i really have to keep myself motivated to get on the bike in the mornings.

the part that makes me lazy is getting the gear on really. I don't lock my daily up, just put it on stands and i have a garage and drive so its a case of remove the bike from stands, push forward, close door, start and go.
Its the 6 layers on top, 3 on bottom, neck thingy, sidi boots, gloves and lid that take ages.

Still, a smoke and a coffee usually wake me from my lazy frame of mind

[Poecilotheria]

Bloody hell dont you roast with 6 layers on the top! F me, i go out in my tee and jacket alone in the coldest mostly no gloves or anything and im still baking like a potato in foil.

I do have one question though.... .do you use the sword of omens to predict traffic or the weather before riding out? must come in handy with thieves lol. thundercats for the win .... not the anime version those fan ppl need to be shot on site.

mixture of bad circulation in hands and feet and having a body that has been broken a lot. Also, from SA and feking despise the cold. 6 layers include a t-shit, work shirt, jumper, then a thermal lines fleece, then a taxtile jacket, then an RST overthingmabob thats water/wind proof. Did i mention i hate the cold

Now its warmed up a bit i could probably remove some of those layers. Over an hour at 70+ is a bitch when fighting the elements. The wind chill just takes over

I actually have a thundercat And yes, F the anime version lol

[Poecilotheria]

Sounds like you ride around looking like the michelin man lol cant blame you though in the elements. Ever thought or tired the heated full body suit? few people i knew had them and swore by them in the cold.

Win! i have a replica sword of omens in the loft did have a snarf plush (original release) but it freaked out my OH for some reason and since gone missing.

Sometimes I can't be arsed putting all my gear on, feels like a chore suiting up but other than that, throw gear on, ping electric garage door, hoon off at law abiding speeds, turn back, go shut garage door.

[RhynoCZ]

[hellkat]

I have elevated laziness to an art form, and have a PhD in it.
I try to convince myself I am low in iron and can barely move.
If I have to lift a finger, I try to get someone else to lift it for me.
I'd run summer courses in How to be Lazy, but ... CBA.
It's taken me most of my life to develop this talent, and I am reluctant to let it be wasted.

So yeah, I have missed a whole summer's riding last year cos I am too idle to get the Snarley out and take it for an MOT, which it will almost certainly fail due to the loud pipes which I can't be arsed to buy some more and get the shop to put them on before MOTing it.

It's all I can do to type this post.

It's lighter out, the astrologers (the ones who do the weather on the telly) assure us it's Technically Spring, but every year the cognitive dissonance kicks in and we resolutely deny that snow and ice is perfectly normal until at least the end of March.

We're horny, so horny-horny-horny, but the missus is on the rag and we're getting the cold shoulder.

Frustrations run rampant. This too shall pass: like Jesus coming on the third rabbit[*], Easter marks the start of Real Spring.

[*] I think, my astrology isn't strong.
