Is there some sort of helpline?

...specifically for bicycle commuters?

This morning I made a grave error of judgement which could've been avoided with some MTFU advice from a total stranger. Due to late night personnel management issues with my 2 year old son, I got up late feeling distinctly under motivated. My road bike had suffered a slow visitation during the night. The hybrid was still in bits following a similar issue the day before. I look outside and its raining pretty hard, and I've STILL not around to fitting those guards I got last week. Yesterday I had the nightmare journey to work with multiple visitations (Michelin Pro 4 tyres seem to melt in the rain). I'm not sure which of my inner tubes are good and bad. So I decide that its all too much and decide to drive.

BIG MISTAKE

I take it easy and leave the house a bit later than normal at 7:10am. At 9:40 I arrive at work.

With the benefit of hindsight I realise what I should've done is swap the front wheels over on the bikes and ridden in.

The journey home is bound to be arduous too.

Perfect, thanks.

I find the little messages left on Strava by so called friends does the job nicely.... and of course if you MTFU it means you can be the one doing the messaging.

Worked for me this morning; thank you. First commute from the new gaff - 57 minutes and 15.6 miles (foot down once).
