My lbs put stickers on my bike. When I arrived to collect it, I asked the assistant to remove the stickers as I didn't want any others on the bike. He told me it was store policy to fit stickers, I politely told him it was my bike and my policy not to have them!

Nice bike btw, I do like the Giant bikes.

I am aching like mad today, but i cant seem to get a doctors appointment at all.

In truth i am not fully sure i need one for aches and pains and a bit of ligament damage to the left hand.

I will upload a picture of the damage later on. But i am sure it will be back up and running soon.

I have only managed to cover about 12 miles before the crash.
