Commuter diaries - a tale of two rides
Tue, Aug 24, 2010 09:12

Yesterday morning I had a great ride, usual route bathed in sunshine and a great flow. But on my way home the story couldn't be more different. Mechanicals, dogs and people running in front of me and a horrendous side wind, dragging my single pannier and creating a sail effect. I really couldn't wait to get home, but then isn't it amazing, after some good food a quiet drink and a play with my children all I wanted to do was ride my bike again. Better than domestic duties or pointless television.
The mudguards and bell are definitely coming back!

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

That's a great price. Just bear in mind Import duty and handling charges will be applied pre delivery.
