So there I was, on my way into work. I pass a small group of schoolboys just as I pull up to some lights. I hear one of them say "Look! He's got leather shoes that clip!" in a slightly awestruck voice!
Yes, I was pathetically gratified that an 11 year old was impressed at my £19.99 plastic road shoes from Aldi; you know - the black and silver plastic ones that look like football boots with velcro fastenings!
I was astute enough to keep my eyes on the lights and concentrate on my effortless clip in and out of the saddle power start. I know it was my Aldi shoes that were cool; not me. My ignored carbon Centaur Ribble had more to be upset about

Shame you weren't on a Brompton0

What difference a day makes - today I heard "...push you off your bike". Came from a lad on a BMX and he might have been talking to his two mates as they cycled erratically along the pavement but bicycle related cruelty nonetheless
I'm always grateful when passing schools that I don't ride a Brompton. However uncool I might be, I tend to think that any child with a bit of soul must appreciate a flashy racer. A Brompton is something that appeals to a more refined mind than the average 12 year old has!Faster than a tent.......0
