Well written post.

I once nearly got arrested in Paddington Station because Someone chipped my newly resprayed bike in the middle of the TT by letting their bike run into mine with untaped bars. I lost it, I get it, but now I look at that chip and it makes me feel embarrassed/chuckle at my self.

This paragraph is very true.

In a way I am always relieved when I my bike falls over for the first time etc, I can stop being so precious about it and get on with riding.

This is why I almost never buy new or expensive bikes. I've ridden my Madone a handful of times. Mostly in jeans. In fairness I'm not really a carbon road bike kinda guy.

Also when I buy new trainers I keep them in the house and wear them indoors only for a good few months. That way when I inevitably scratch them on first outdoor wear its not a problem as they're not new anymore.
