Bikes, two days the same

Ah well. I have had a bike just under a year. Various setups. It does not work. It has all the add ons i wanted, sadly with its dogs body drop outs it was designed solely for single speed. Nightmares turning corners. The rear wheel slips back in the drop out, now matter the set up, Erk. imho.

Twodays

The same two days.
Raced in, hooned it. Sadly the bike is rubbish. Designed for single speed. I serviced evert

racing

If this country had cycle paths as good as continental neighbours I'd use them and the racer every day. But no. Never smooth, too many drop offs, uneven ground. erk. Just as bad as the roads, but they have more space to avoid the damn things. If only didging pot holes was not live threatening as motorists never look to see if other users need to avoid something. Thye'll just cut you up.

driving

I drove to work last week, I worked in manchester for a good part. The company gave me a car, a van as the were no cars left. The smacking of rain on the roof, driving the van was like being in a tin cabin. Not the soaking i'd get on a bike ;-)
I cycled the rest if the week, just a horrible week at work. Nothing about cycling.

I watched the prologue and and start of the tour de france. What an atmosphere. Superb!
Missed being on Alp d'huez last year (lost passport:-{ ). I will climb it this year, maybe more.
