I want to ride my bicycle.

Better news. Just had a text from Parcelfarce who say that Pete will deliver my parcel between 14:19 and 15:19 today. Looks like I could be on the road this afternoon ... so if you're thinking of using the roads in the Lee area this afternoon ... then your judgement could be seriously impaired.

Happy birthday.

Delivery companies are going to be a prioritising still I guess causing some delays to deliveries.

I avoided ordering from Wiggle for this very reason (lack of direct contact). My orders from ChainReaction and PedalOn have been delivered quicker than expected though.

Thanks DSK. Wiggle would work better as the name of their refunds policy than their business name.

Thanks Mo. Ah I see you've decoded 'Wibble'. I wasn't sure if I could name the company here. I had the helmet sent to the local collection point (just round the corner) rather than home - £5 cheaper. That'll teach me to be watertight. Yodel inexplicably returned to sender.

No one worse. DPD are saints in comparison.

My irritation is that if I go and buy another helmet elsewhere I might eventually end up with two. If the bike was here I'd have none, though I realise there is no legal obligation to wear a helmet, I'd prefer to have it.

Thought you may have meant Riggle. In the past I have bought from both Riggle and Wibble and both provided good service,

In fairness to wiggle, whilst their customer service may be slow they are replying to people, it's taken a week for them to get back to me over something, but they did.

Also they have a no quibble returns policy for a year I beleive, so if you do order another helmet / buy one from a local shop you'll be able to return it.

PS did you order some pedals....

So is one of your saucepans coming into action as a make do cycle helmet , enjoy the new bike 👍

Not much if it's a sunny evening by the sea here. I guess I've got to take the camera out with me and take the obligatory picures; by a tree, in front of a gate, near water etc .

Last Wednesday I ordered a bike to be delivered by today; it's till not here. I also ordered a helmet from Wibble. It was supposed to be delivered to a local collection point, but it was returned to sender without explanation. Wibble site is awful. Can not cancel the order, can not refund unless I return it which I can't because there has been no delivery - no chatbox operatives. So I emailed only to be told that it typically takes 4 - 6 days for them to reply to emails, plus there are delays ... ughhhhh.

It's my birthday. I want to ride my bicycle ...

Apparently the bikes in the Queen video went back to Halfords afterwards - a bonus for snurglars and quumfers!
