Cycle home tonight was fairly bad, in fact it was horrid, no horrid doesn't even come close. Let me take you through my pain.

Left work just as the mobile blood tranfusion service bus was leaving, I could pedal up the hill faster than it could climb it, but its so wide I can't pass it.

Front wheel starts to go 'ping', the spoke kind of ping. Stop to check it. The magnet is hitting the pickup of the computer, re-adjust it. The ping stops for 100 metres,then starts again, I need to take a screwdriver to the magnet.

The traffic is bad and because everyone is trying to squeeze through narrow gaps there is no room to pass on the inside. Oh well sit and wait.

Get on the final stretch home,Ok lets work of this frustration. Step up onto the big chain ring. The chain comes off! Bike slips as I'm putting the chain back on and one of the lights hits the ground and goes out.

Not my evening

Frustrated of Hampshire
