All dressed up and.....cant go!

[GentleBenn]

Feel like I've had a wasted day !
Did all my chores around the house this morning with a view to a nice long ride in the afternoon, struggled into my lycra gear ,jumped onto the bike ,out the drive,and PING a spoke goes in my rear wheel ,back to the house change and take the wheel the the lbs, the wheel wont be ready till thurs !
Thing is, I psyched myself up by watching videos from the tour de france,for about an hour before hand !

You need more bikes, then you can just pinch a wheel off one when you need it.

My other bike is a mtb , but Yeah a spare road bike, I like that idea !
Anybody got one going really cheap ?(free)
56 cm would do rather nicely .

A trip to the local tip can be rewarding bike wise
