The fixed is in the shed
I converted my old road bike to fixed.
I know better, but in my haste to try it out I didn't bother putting my clippy shoes on.
Going down the hill around the corner from me, just before my knee joints combusted, my left foot slipped off the pedal.
I kangarooed on my right foot for about 100 m, while trying to get my hands around the drops to haul on the brakes.
Only the fact there was bunch of people on the street stopped me from baling.
I've locked it in the shed until it stops trying to bite me.
I don't signal when riding my brompton, even the great blondini couldn't.
In London RLJ ers make me seethe... I always go through the red at the pointless lights outside my train station in Kent.
There's a lovely lady cyclist on my train sometimes; I covert her Airnimal, its all Ti, carbon and sparkly bits.
I feel better now.
