Jayne!<\/p>\n

\"CBoardman<\/p>\n

As in Jayne Cobb, which will mean something to Firefly<\/em> fans. <\/p>\n

Jayne: Well, as a rule, I say, girlfolk ain’t to be trusted.
\nRiver: [grinning] “Jayne” is a girl’s name.
\nJayne: Well, Jayne ain’t a girl! She starts in on that girl’s-name thing, [reaches into his pants] I’ll show her good ‘n’ all, I got man parts!
\nSimon: I’m… trying to think of a way for you to be cruder. I just… it’s not coming.
\n(Trash<\/em>, episode 11 Firefly<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Ah, Jayne. Probably one of my favourite Joss Whendon characters ever. I was riding to work thinking about names and all of sudden The Hero of Canton<\/em> popped into my head and the name has just stuck. I think it’s appropriate. The bike is big, burly and carries the heavy stuff.<\/p>\n

The MTB pedals and bottle cages went on last night, the pannier rack was added last week. I have some nice bright red Ortlieb bags to go the rack but I couldn’t be bothered to put them on for the photo (you’ll just have to use your imagination). The MTB cletes\/pedals are interesting to say the least. I’m perplexed by the decision to tension the pedals so much. I couldn’t actually clip in at all at first. Even after winding them out as much as possible, it still taking a huge amount of force for me to actually clip in. It’s like having to learn how to use cletes all over again. But I shall persist as they’re about a billion times easier to walk around in. So yes, Jayne. Once I said it in my head the name just stuck.<\/p>\n

The name is why I’ve had this stuck in my head for the last few days…<\/p>\n
