  A little more polo practice and you could've checked him over instead.

  I checked him over, but he wasn't very cute so I didn't try and kiss him.

  I'll admit that was a bit of a judgmental call on my part, especially as I was off to my sad little income making post. That said I feel somewhat entitled to make judgement on the sad git.

  It was more that there was nothing distinctive about it in the slightest. One of those people who just did not stand out in any way. I guess that's as much of a style as a hoodie, football top or head to toe rapha.

  Just a warning to other folks that use the loop in that area. Thursday morning about 8:30am a guy tried to shove me off my bike whilst riding in the cycle lane as he thought I'd shouted at some student girls to get out of the cycle lane.

  The guy in front of me (brown langster with flat bars with bar ends) had said something but it was hardly like he shouted - more asked them to stay on their side - but this nutter thought it was me and decided trying to shove me off my bike with both hands against my shoulder and yelling 'Fucking cunt!' as I rode through the bollards a suitable punishment. I managed to keep it rubber side up and the following altercation to a fairly unpleasant verbal exchange rather than kicking the crap out of him - he didn't know what to say when I told him it was the guy in front of me who'd opened his mouth not me.

  He clearly has issues with bikes and feels the need to defend the honour of student girls. Nut job: About 5'8'', black or mixed race with greying curly hair. Not sure of age but certainly over 30. Dressed like he was off to some sad menial job somewhere.

  Thanks folks. I managed to blag an old and very very buggered wheel for a week from a housemate to keep him going so anything would be an upgrade. Rob - Don't suppose you fancy a double beer win by combining this with a quick true of my rear wheel some time in the next week or so?

  WANTED: Budget front wheel. 700c and width that will work ok with 23mm tyres. My mate managed to take out 4 spokes on Friday when he hit a pothole and needs something to keep him rolling. Not worth fixing the existing wheel as the hub is fubar and he's saving for a decent bike later this year. Failing that has anybody tried the £25 budget wheel from Decathlon?

  yep, they've been doing this all up curry mile. wish they'd start ticketing the idiotic drivers along there as well!

  They were pulling private hire vehicles on Chorlton St last night, clearly doing full vehicle inspections including checking spare tyres and the like. You might see a few less taxis as there were some worried looking drivers and some hefty U turns on Portland St as they realised what was going on.

  I might have to take a detour on the way to work for that one. It's times like this that owning a £5 phone gets to be an issue. :-(
