Tip 150: Get glum halfway through a ride

Never happens, does it?
Barring femur fractures, persistent shoaling or forgetting your gloves, as long as you continue to pedal, happy little serotonins will continue to dominate the skull cavity like ants dominate a dropped peanut butter, nutella and honey sandwich.
BONUS TIP: In case of glumness, look down. Check that is a bike you are riding, not a swivel chair. If it has four or five tiny wheels, it is probably a swivel chair. Continue sadfacing until it's time to commute. If you look down and your work chair has two big wheels, check whether riding a bike is in fact your profession. If it is, and you are glum, go fuck yourself. No really.

Tip 149: Scabs

At the height of winter, a good layer of leg scab functions much like gore tex – it breathes readily, is wind resistant, and tastes delicious.

BONUS TIP: An Autumn of crashes, or as they so appropriately term it in the northern hemisphere, a “Fall”, is the best way to insulate the fragile corpus against the icy months.
