  1. @headphonaught wish I'd seen that teefury in time, given the state of my chain (ie snapped :( )
  2. New chain arrived in the post - not sure when I will have time to fit it :(
  3. I deserve the @CHARGEBIKES swag cos I've already spent my Christmas money on the bike and it's still not ridable yet :(
  4. @bigcalm luckily not - the saddle reared backwards at the same time, preventing forward motion of goolies
  5. First proper ride on my new steed. Rolled it gently out to the road, pushed off with enthusiasm. Broken chain. #fail
  6. /me heads for home. Will be testing the bike tonight and hopefully riding to work tomorrow :)
  7. @urbancyclist cc doesn't appear to be a nominee for best online magazine...
  8. @urbancyclist seen recently by a colleague "Buy your halal turkey for Christmas"....
  9. There' still competitions all week @CHARGEBIKES
  10. almost forgot - @CHARGEBIKES - here's me and mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/headphonaught/4118555928/sizes/l/in/set-72157622837229794/
  11. best tv trailer evah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7IHKk5S3ck
  12. Heading out (a bit late) to meet up with @headphonaught and the rest of the emerging scotland posse.
  13. Sadly @CHARGEBIKES don't do lights, although a new saddle might be nice
  14. @noelinho an odometer. although just get a multi-function computer - they're not expensive
  15. @noelinho http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer
  16. @noelinho a pedometer is used by walkers to measure their paces
  17. @noelinho for speed, can I suggest a speedometer - a pedometer isn't much good on a bike
  18. And now it's snowing!
  19. Sitting in pitlochry waiting for train. Cold. :(
  20. First maintenance on new bike. 2 new tyres (blue!), 1 new reflector and 1 cleaned and lubed chain. Ready to ride!
