Bike

[Dave Hughey]

The puncture took me 2 days to work out and I went through 2 inner tubes, one I over inflated and it burst and the other split and it "pinched" when expanding. When I "you tubed" how it should be done, I did the whole thing in 10 minutes. Just have to put it down to invaluable experience.

Do you have a bicycle club in your area? I belonged to one in Canada. It had a great repair shop with all the tools and skilled bike mechanics to show you how to fix stuff. Didn't cost much to join, either.

Halfords which is where I got the bike and have branches nationally said £20 and I can come as many times as I want just have to pay for the parts and the labour will be free for all mechanical issues. I have so far declined.

Update on riding a bike to train station after the back wheel got stolen costing me £108 to replace.

• Swallowed some flying insects which tasted horrible.
• Learned to pedal correctly with front of toes.
• Right leg of trousers ruined by getting caught on crank.
• Chain sometimes keeps coming off which is a pain because I have to dirty my hands putting it back on. (I do not like manual labour).
• Got soaked in the rain, everything wet including socks and underwear.

Still enjoy it.

Insects are full of protein

You need to grow big lambchop sideburns. They make you go faster

Chain is too loose.

Because of the rain I have a bright yellow rain coat which cover me and the ruck sack and legs. I only wear it if I have to.

I bet you look lovely. Like a rubber duck on wheels.:-)

@Master back to the fun of sore legs and back side for a day or two on Monday.

Don't forget the bright yellow rain coat.
