    People stepping off the pavement into the face of oncoming silent cyclists. Like I just did. You think I would know better.

    Baby elephants are so last year, darling.

    I wasn't silent. I made a particularly manly <i>woooaw</i> sound.

    Maybe I should invest in an airzound......[:D]

    a very large (well, 20 odd) troop of what looked like foreign students pootling across Waterloo bridge last night. I thought it might be the Romanian version of Critical Mass but actually I think they were just on a pootle. Needless to say I left them all for dust in the bus lane.

    The inspiration to fix it.

    If it doesn't fit, force it.

    Thanks for the support. It's quite hard to fix a broken aluminum frame with my soldering iron but I'm getting there.

    That's a good idea. If only the lovely people at Trek thought like that. They take three weeks to send a new (warranty) frame and then forget to include a part which will take another 10 days, they say.....

    If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
