Very Satisfying

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I just got back from my trip back home in Devon which was rad! although I didn’t see one other fixed gear bike! anyway I hadn’t rebuilt my bike yet, cos I have been working from home now that I’m self employed and cos of the shit weather I hadn’t been in any rush to rebuild it. Anyway today I spent all afternoon cleaning, servicing and rebuilding my bike. Very satisfying indeed, shit looks mad tight now.

If you noticed the silver spoke, err yeah I broke another spoke when my mini D-lock fell out my back pocket whilst cycling I was being a lazy sod, instead of putting it through my belt. This was a bit of nightmare cos the local bike shops didn’t stock the spokes in the length I required, and in the end I had to travel out of town to Dartmoor cycles who added more thread to a longer spoke which I was able to cut down. Err thanks a lot dude just a shame you were a grumpy old sod!… oh and cheers Dad for the drive…

Edinburgh’s cyclists to be given tramline safety lessons

Edinburgh Trams.preview_500

Edinburgh’s cyclists are set to receive lessons in how to ride safely across tramlines following a series of accidents on the Scottish capital’s main shopping thoroughfare, Princes Street.

The street was fully reopened to buses, taxis and bicycles on 29 November after more than two years of works to lay tracks for the city’s new mass rapid transit system.

But the BBC reports that since then, there have been at least six accidents involving cyclists who are not used to dealing with the tramlines. One cyclist, riding a recumbent, has even posted footage of his crash on YouTube.
