    Pair of Full Monty summer gloves from Always Riding - bargain at nearly half-price

    Garmin Edge 305 from e-bay

    My first pair of proper cycle shoes. Not clipless yet, although I can convert these. So much better with the hard soles, can't think how I managed before.

    My new Castelli bibs have just arrived, they appear to have the word "KISS" written just above the arse! Unfortunately to small to be read by any scalpees I fear!

    My rear light bracket sheared off and bounced its way through traffic a few weeks back. Might have to check out that skink. Right now my rear light (rescued from said traffic) when it's needed hangs precariously from my backpack.
