not really, but:

you know it's gone past the realms of "hobby" and into "obsession" when you read a post saying lidl have a gift pack history of the TDF DVD and book combo for œ4.99, then go straight to lidl.com, check the opening times and hare off there at 8.30 solely to buy one.


slightly separate to this:
on my return i skidded to a halt on my fixie and a small east end street urchin said "can you do tricks on that" and i said yes, and he said, "go on then" so i did a one handed trackstand, and he said "that's crap, really crap, and your bike has no brakes, you're crap". he can't have been more than 4 years old. where's the bonj when you need him?

    for some reason that made me laugh.

    it could be worse though, it could have been a trackstand like the scooter advert with del piero in it.
