  • big difference between 28c and 23c I found actually.

    End up changing the chainring from 46 to 45 just to get that 67GI magic (well, 66.9 to be precise).

  • So the moral of the story is that if your wife cleans your bike for you, she wants to kill you.

    She doesn't do this often, does she?

  • "Have been riding 47/17 most recently but went back up to 52/19 because it was a dry sunny day."

    "You realise there is a less than one gear inch difference between to those ratios, 52/19 being the the lower of the two?"

    "So weird how just the slightest gear change can make such a difference with timing."

    Uve bin luv'd!

  • dun ya

  • soho and oxford street at midday: one continuous 'oh shit' and 'fucking hell' moment
    never again

  • "My wife hasn't done the front brake up."

    I'd start removing sharp objects from near her.. and having her try any meals she cooks first..

    My boyfriends classic mistake is not doing the front brake up. He's not on the life insurance though, so he may just do it for the lulz

    He also cooks and has a collection of cooking knives. On a scale of 1/10 how worried should I be?

  • Depends on how well he cooks.

  • Yeah, if he cooks well and is good in the sack then he's probably worth keeping around.

  • Hah, both. Live dangerously!

    Met him at the bike stand at work, maybe that's gonna keep me alive. Fixes bike stuff too I can't fix, so all in all worth the risk ;)

    Yesterday a car "ow shit" moment. When a Suicidal Pedestrian Class A steps right in front of you and you're so glad you didn't hit them you don't even have anger to flip them the bird.

  • I managed to ride off on my cross bike after last Saturday's London League race, without re-attaching the straddle cables for my front and rear brakes after swapping the wheels over.

    Cupcakes witnessed my less than graceful moment of realisation and subsequent feet on the ground halt.

    Daft twat. (Me, not cupcakes clearly).

  • Been away for two weeks. First day back on the bike almost got a right hook from a pigeon in the face this morning. Saw a flapping blob about 2-3 feet from my head as I was accelerating up to about 20mph but thankfully it's collision detection system kicked in and we missed each other.

    Count yourself lucky. A pigeon to the head (even with helmet on) hurts a lot more than you would think.

  • I met my brother outside Liverpool Street and sat down for a drink outside the Wetherspods. A manky old pigeon flapped down next to me so I twatted it with the Evening Standard straight into the side of the head of the bloke sitting opposite. I apologised and apologised but he wasn't smiling.

    Bwaaahaaaahahahaaaaa! Ace! I don't know whether you should be done for cruelty to animals or assault (or possibly reading the Evening Standard).

    Assault with a deadly pigeon obvs

  • ^^^ Yeah thanks. Speaking from experience? I did feel lucky and knew that simply grimacing and leaning my head back wasn't going to help much.

    Not sure about twating pigons unprovoked though. Wafting yes, twatting no.

  • It was sort of a waft that connected harder than I thought. Someday I will repay it unless of course I can't find it or forget.

  • Last night under blackfriars bridge when someone threw a glass into other lane of traffic and wondering if one was going to go near me too , pretty shitty for whoever threw it

  • Yesterday in some moment of hilarious stupidity my brain gave the command "accelerate" instead of "stop right here", it was mostly just amusing until I realised the van driver ahead was of those people who when coming to a stop pulls left to block undertaking cyclists.

  • Walked in my bathroom to go toilet after a night ride and stepped on a dodgy tile it seems. Fuck sake
