1. We, the stopping-in-Winchburgh-to-see-Sleekitcollie riders, were expecting signed copies .

2. Do such newsagents exist in such places ??

Mind you, at least the road surface is better in K'liston (for now ).

Wait until the new house building gets properly underway in K'liston. It'll be like the Somme round here

Went thru Winchburgh yesterday. Nearly rattled my fillings out on the corrugated surface

Very odd - http://www.linlithgowgazette.co.uk/news/Winchburgh-cyclist-savedby-his.6525376.jp

A mate of mine - Stuart Fairley (notice subtle spelling difference - also came off his bike last week and broke his collar bone.

This was in Fife but didn't make a newspaper.

What a small and slightly bizarre world.

I would also say that if your name is either Stuart or Stewart Farely and you live in Central Scotland then you might as well just jump off your bike now and egt it over and done with :-)

I think Stuart was rather embarrassed by his off and is rather glad he hasn't been featured in a paper. He was riding his new fixie after posting about how gears were for the over 40s and I think it was the cycling gods getting their revenge for taking the pish out of old fellas like me :-)

 

[Telemark]

hmmm ... there seems to be a theme here ...new bike testing!
(OK, there is also the Stewart/Stuart F thing, which is a bit freaky)

Heal fast, all of you!

Stewart how come it still looks broken, did they not straighten it out for you when you first went in?

think that was the 1st x ray , they never straightened it just left to healas it was , if it was more displaced they would have pined it
