A new bike

It’s time.

My brakes do work, but they require a good deal of ‘anticipation’. (They’re best attribute is their extreme squeakiness – my bell doesn’t work, but I don’t need it – squealing brakes alert people’s attention far better.) And my gears – well – 5, 10 and 15 don’t work at all, and 4, 9 and 14 need extreme nursing to persuade them.

So I’m getting a new one. Or, more accurately, work are going to give me a new one It’s through this scheme.

Happy, happy, happy.

Oh, congrats!

Oh, well done! Although I found the squeaky-brake thing quite effective in shifting tourists, it really doesn’t work if something’s hurtling at you quite fast… Enjoy the new one – when does it arrive?
