I’ve got work to do now, so it seems like time for a bike blog! For a while we’ve had a full house in Cardiff, which has been great for bike rides. I’m not feeling inclined (bitter, resentful etc) to write a lot today though so instead I’ll upload some tedious photographs of my bike in different places. On the way to Usk I crashed, but that’s a story for another time.
Here’s Caerphilly Castle.
Another time I took on Caerphilly mountain with a housie, a tough challenge but totally worth it once we descended really, really fast.
Some crap places in the distance.
And today I got the train to Bristol and cycled to Bath with a hipster on a fixie. A fixed gear bike does at least have some advantages though, single speed is just silly. Here’s some trains which weigh slightly less than the Raleigh I sold.
At the outskirts of Bath (I actually used the manly gear all the time, as can be seen in the photo)
And finally at the station shop we got some food. I got a massive piece of chocolate cake and ate it with my bare hands, reminiscent of the fat kid eating the chocolate cake in Matilda, perhaps a little more dignified though. I’m sure you’ve noticed my bike is now sporting some classy mudguards too. I think “mother-bitch” is a fair way to describe how difficult they were to fit.
