Not only did I get the 'Upgrade to free celeriac' option,
I must also have opted for the 'Cloak of Invisibility' upgrade.
Wore my Aqua jacket for the first time yesterday afternoon, on a shopping errand ride.
Uxbridge Road, not quite Hayes, unliveried long wheelbase van turns right across my path.
Yawning driver didn't even think to use the 'glance left' to check he was not impeding anyone.
Little later, Uxbridge Road West Ealing, Royal Mail van, turns right across my path into a side road blocked with a van waiting to turn left. Royal Mail van ends up mounting the pavement to avoid the other van, as I swoop round the back of his almost stationary van.
The 'Cloak of invisibility' is clearly powered by the Hall voltage of movement.
In Southall, a woman driving a Mercedes B class indicated her displeasure at my bike just being parked in the road, with a pedal supporting it, as I made a (stationary) phone call.
At least she saw me.
Be careful out there people.
