What have you bought for the bike today ?

For the rider atop the bike:

Some Van Rysel Bib Shorts: as discussed and recommended right here recently: and because I’ve got ‘niggles’ with the current ones after a couple of hours in the saddle - and I’ve just signed up for a 112 mile ride on the Dunwich Dynamo. With likely another 20 miles on top of that if then have to pedal home from the finish.

I bought 4 pairs of brake blocks as spares for my knockabout 6-speed** bike.

I just fitted new front blocks and my remaining spare pair will soon be needed for the rear brake.

4 pairs were much better value than 1 pair and there was also a 20% off coupon available so buying extra spares was a no-brainer.

It is possible that they will also fit my best bike. That used to use different blocks but I changed the brake cartridges a couple of years ago and I can't remember what type of blocks those take. I will check tomorrow and buy extra spares if they need a different type. (I might as well use the 20% discount while it is available! If that sounds of interest to you, use coupon code SUMMERFUN at DiscoBrakes.)

** It was a singlespeed but I liked it so much that I wanted a climbing gear so I could get it up the longer/steeper local hills. I added the extra sprockets just to make everything work. I still ride it singlespeed in flatter terrain. For example, on my entire 100 km Garforth forum ride route.
