Some lucky soul found the BRAND NEW Castelli rain cape that we gave GtiJunior for his birthday; we went out for a nice birthday ride; he stuffed the cape in his jersey pocket and five miles later I noticed that it had fallen out. Grrrrr!
Actually in Lagos, Nigeria, there's a form of street art that I've never seen anywhere else but I've just Googled it and I find that it's a known phenomenon in New York, a city that probably has similar levels of traffic, heat, vehicle decrepitude and road damage to Lagos. In New York it has been named Asphalt Archeology. It's where bits have dropped off vehicles and become embedded in the hot soft tarmac then polished smooth by millions of passing tyres. It makes for an endless fascinating guessing game when you are stuck in one of the Lagos go-slows:
