  1. Spot the moment when I was overtaken on the sprint by a car, that then braked because UNLIKE ME it couldn't pass between the parked car and the Surprise Oncoming Car That Nobody Could Have Planned For 😤😆

    First rear wheel lock-up on the new bike 😬 35 kph to 0, in 2 car lengths.

    Ah well I missed the strong easterlies this week, I hope they return soon. All the good times on this road are, of course, set with tailwind. Like 20% faster. I'll just have to do my all out effort earlier before the traffic wakes up.

  11. very pleased to have remembered my friend Andy's training about how to grease a bike bottom bracket. From 6.30am clicking to 8pm smooth.

    Except I forgot the important step of prising off the seals of the bearings themselves and greasing the races, so it's still clicking under load 🤦‍♂️

    Job for tomorrow evening!

    Messaged Andy anyway to say how much I appreciate the training.

  16. Hypothetically, were I employed, today I'd send in my Cycle to Work Scheme quote for approval.

    Six chains, five tyres, two wheels, two gear cables, a cassette, a helmet.

    Save three tyres and a chain, based on past performance I reckon all that will be consumed by actual commuting.

  26. To 50% Ords on the way home from work, to collect some parts. Most of it "fitted" in the pannier bag but I was left with 2 boxed folding tyres, so after carrying them out of the shop so I didn't look too dodgy, I stuffed them down the front of my jersey for the ride home like two enormous oblong breasts.
