Clive, god to hear you're on the mend. Keep your spirits up.
Comedy gold this morning from me:
Had a cleat fail right in the middle of the big crossing of Borough High St and Long Lane.
Me, pulling in front, then couldn't get my cleat out ... wobble wobble ... CLONK!
Must've clipped a guy standing in front of me with my front wheel while going down.
The result was ... wobble wobble ... CLONK!
I just wanted to sink into the ground ... Oh the shame!
I was very apologetic and offered to pay for any damage or anything, but all I got was a really really grumpy look ...wish someone would have laughed loudly at least.
Fished a big piece of gravel out of my cleats by the roadside, then loosened up the pedals as well just to be sure.
Oh well, at least I keep people entertained.
