Pedants. On reflection, maybe three spokes in five hundred thousand miles isn't much.
Commuting to the international spacestation can be a drag in the wet, I can tell you.
I wondered about LBC, some bloke called Cristo said he could sort me out, he said to leave my bike with the security guard. I'm never taking it there again. Local radio talk show hosts, you can't trust 'em.
In these situations, for me language and the ugliness of xenophobia is a problem, I am a foreigner, I don't speak catalan, the shop already think I am insane for riding a track bike in the street, and thus do not take me seriously anyway. (I think it's that, but it could be the falsetto voice I use when I go in there)
I could learn to do it myself but it confuses me and I have no patience plus, as soon as any thing resembling a bicycle tool comes out at home I have to offer a long explaination to my gf as to where my loyalties really lie. Factor in a stalker of three and a half years and the fact that I can't buy that fake bacon stuff here and you have a pretty good idea of my life.
The fags are cheap though.
