Was thinking of this post as I neared white-knuckle terminal velocity down the helter-skelter final decent into Kentfordshire Commuterville Central this morning when my natty new hat blew off and was run over by several following cars. Could have been worse but I swear at one fucker did it on purpose as I stood by the side of the busy road waving my arms about and trying to retrieve it.
It was on my way up this same hideous corkscrew for the first time last week, grinding away in the lowest gear with my knees under my elbows, that some helpful local character leaned out of the window of a battered and angrily passing Ford Mondeo and shouted "Get on the fackin parff!" before flicking a lit cigarette at me. Oh how I love my (thank fuck temporary) new home.
Nipping out to pick up an extended seat post at lunch. It is a simple matter of taking the saddle clamp off and letting the old one drop though the frame?
