    the ride home was odd.
    after a year on a fixie i found it odd freewheeling and braking with my hands!

    also white tape is gonna have to go! greasy fingers and white tape is gonna be a nightmare!

    Don't eat bacon butties while riding :wink:
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos
