On Mondays I get the bus to work after walking wee one to school. Gives me a day to take all my week's clothes in to hang in my locker.
Anyway - going up Leith Street, I noticed a student-type on a rusty-looking MTB. He was waiting alongside the bus I was on at the lights. Something about his bike made me look twice, as there was something that just didn't look right. Then I noticed his front brake was behind the fork and the blocks were loose and hanging at 90 degrees to the rim. 'Weird', I thought. Then it dawned on me - his front fork was the wrong way round !! It gave the front of the bike a slight 'bent backwards' look... I wonder if he even realised that it should have been facing the other way ?
From the look of him, I'd guess not.
