This morning's commute and other commuting stories

Last time I needed a frame reviewed I paid a local frame builder and added that to the claim. Then for the bike as a whole I took it to an actual shop who could quote for other parts and labour to rebuild.

Glad to hear you didn't break anything. Doorings are often very dangerous and lead to serious injuries disproportionately often. I haven't heard of the mechanism Evans use; I've heard of bike shops assessing frames for free or for a much lower charge. Do you have another local bike shop you can try? Always better to support the independents.

Was on my way cycling home going along the mall stopped at the lights about 1/2 way along when 2 cyclists had a head on crash alongside on the segregated gravel bit. Jumped off and went to help along with a jogger who stopped and another cyclist. One of them cut his knee and arm badly the other has cracked/bruised ribs by the sound of it, got told 2hrs for an ambulance so cycled with him not too much over walking pace around to A+E. Unusual/eventful ride I guess.

Bristol, this morning.

Ye well I was squeezing between buses and breathing in their fumes, this morning

The swoosh of the fauxdie deep section carbons all over the commute this morning.

fauxdie

?

Faux roadie.. like promuter (mmuter?).

All I could hear was the tick of my fucked up chainline. It is stressing me out..

Any kind of bike noise ruins riding for me a little bit. Probably the only part of 'The Rules' that isn't laughably lame (IMHO).

Always find it so strange seeing/hearing people with nice road bikes and all the clobber, but a completely fucked dry chain.

New for Spring 2019: Fakelocross and MockTB

there are actual Rules? shiiiiiiiiiit.

Yeah. I think it is making me depressed. It was utterly silent a few weeks ago but I've had no free fettling time to fix whatever is causing it. Grrrrrr.

I love word games, but not as much as Schick.

Ah I see! What makes it a 'fake' roadie though?

Whatever I decide on the morning.

There is a platinum-iridium reference fauxdie stored in a vacuum jar in a lab somewhere in Paris.

i'm plagued by noises on my commute bike at the moment.
squeak from saddle area which i thought i had solved but has re-appeared + 'clicking' from bb/pedals/cranks/chainring bolt/cleat area

still, at least it's sunny out!

I got T-boned near the Notting Hill Evans a few years ago. I walked to the tube and went to The London Bicycle Workshop in Hammersmith instead...

The prototypical fauxdie one might say

nice bike, got any more pix?

50k on the Caad12 in Sunny Kent this morning, then rode my Mash to work.
