Tales from today's commute....

Just got back from the bike shop, turns out my trusty bike's creak was coming from an inch long crack in the seat tube. So after 12,400 miles, she is no more. May she rest in peace.

What a really nice, mild day here in London. Mid october and still in shorts and short sleeves. And it's getting warmer over the weekend and into early next week.
Once again though the traffic is a bit of a nightmare. It's not until I can stretch the legs on the A21 bus lanes that I can get up to any sort of speed for long stretches.

Some people don't. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how quick and nippy they are. I bought a SL6 sporty version. I think I'm going to enjoy bombing past roadies on the commute for a bit of SCR

Hell yeah. I love the look of disdain mixed with hatred when I cruise past a roadie on my flat bared Whyte Montpellier,,,,
