• Slightly worryingly I noticed one of my front track nuts was properly loose while at a set of lights on the ride home. Neglect or sabotage? Who knows, but I did stop to tighten front and back to be sure. The neglect is palpable, but I have been checking my crank bolts regularly as they’re campag cranks on the incorrect spindle (which I seem to remember means that they’ll always work loose).

    Finally bumped into the deliveroo rider who I said I’d tip when I got back in the house but then it wouldn’t let me. Gave him a fiver which he attempted to refuse. He’s the only delivery rider I’ve seen round here not on an e-bike which is a fair effort on the hills of Leeds. He told me he’s cycling to Mecca soon. Godspeed and inshallah Imran.

  • Spicy! I used to do Deliveroo full time in Leeds on a fixed gear. Fittest I've ever been by far!

  • Jesus that’s serious effort. 6 miles each way on the commute is enough fixed for me.
