"Can't we try and stick to the good news about cycling? "

Tomorrow I plan to take the afternoon off and go for a spin. Don't think I will make it to Hebden Bridge.

There's nine milllion bicycles, and the good news is they're in Beijing.

And the bad news is that the Chinese authorities are starting to ban them to make way for cars!

On the other hand. I had a nasty scuff on the back of my calf yesterday when the wind blew my bike over and it hit me while I was cutting the grass.


and AND I wasn't wearing helmet either.

Saw two young children being towed by their dad in a child trailer today, looked like they both were having a great time by the smiles on their faces as they passed.

I neatly replaced my brake blocks, and also mickled my chain without incident.

Driving up to a mini-roundabout with two cyclists some way ahead just reaching the roundabout - clearly visible in dayglo yellow.
One just topples sideways - first time I've seen a clipless moment!

Wound window down when I got there: "You OK?"

'Twas a young teenager. He stopped swearing long enough to say "I'm good, thanks!"

So entertainment for me, and no harm done (except, perhaps, to his ego).

I went cycling with the kids and got ourselves into a very messy situation. We found blackberries.

Aargh - before you know it, they'll be using them to coordinate riots!

You wouldnt see a post on a foodies forum saying "Fat unfit Foodie down"

Oh I dunno ... I'm not always happy.
