Tales from today's commute....

[DWiggy]

Have been finding the rides in this week really hard, thought I was hitting a wall but actually I think my bike is seizing up, possibly from the salt that got put down earlier in the week its corroded my back (new) freewheel and derailleur, when I spin the peddles back the don't even make it a full revolution before squeaking to a halt! Looks like she needs to be stripped down and greased this weekend!
Not looking forward to the squeaky struggle of a rid home today

Fell of the bike tonight ... while stationary at lights: didn't slide off the bike quick enough on stopping, ma wee legs flapping in the void, down I went!
How embarrassing! Taxi driver shouted from across the road "are you ok??"

Don't worry Pat, next time I see our friend Potsy I shall poke a stick into his front wheel while he is travelling at speed (well, when he is moving anyway. He never really gets up much speed!)

Glad it's not CA&D, or we will have to throw insults at each other
