riding in the wind





I’m flabbergasted at myself. How on earth did I manage to lose control? Shameful really, bloody shameful; - no excuse can make it better. So, here I am starting the week with a cloud of sombre mood over me. Perhaps I’m too anxious about the final call from Spain or perhaps I’m just too involved now or perhaps I’m over-thinking stuff way too much. Whatever it is, it has to stop. Now!

Anyway, I’ve decided to get a new bicycle. My mountain bike is good but there are only too many places you can ride the OCLV 2006 Trek Top Fuel in central London without getting a heart attack or nervous narcosis. Plus, I’m tired of riding the bike when I know I can use less effort if I were to treat myself to either a single speed or a road bike. What do you think? You see, it isn’t just a straight forward answer because do I want to race? Definitely not. Do I want a very light bike? Most definitely. Will I be locking the bike outdoors? No but perhaps on the odd occasion when I can see it. Must the component be good? Silly question – Yes! How much do I want to spend? Too rude to say. And finally, must the bike say ‘look at me, look at me. I’m sexy’? Yes.


In recent years, cycling has been 'chic' again. Hence why we get the 'bike traffic' now...how annoying. People, leave the roads alone and take the buses instead. I'm too tired and bored of trying to pass all you amateur riders out there. Leave the road to those who can actually ride!!
