@MichaelJecks@RibbleCycles I had a beautiful Klein mountain bike that came with clips, so I bought the shoes. I hit some soft earth one day, bike stopped dead, I flew over the handlebars, splat on my chest, bike half way up a hedge with me still clipped in! Ouch.
@KenWhistance My (newish) neighbours sit in the garden till gone 10pm with the radio blaring, boozing and talking very loudly, like they are the only people on this earth.
@MichaelJecks I think they were going from a car drivers perspective. My girlfriend at the time was not amused as she'd basically bought a racing bike with close ratio gearing. We did enjoy it though, despite the pain!
@KenWhistance I always ring my bell from a long way off, again if they don't react, and always say thank you, but I get cyclists haring past me on my bike at high speed without warning, so if I'd deviated off course it could easily end in tears.
@MarkSmyth1960 My neighbour was chatting to one of the new neighbours up our road, and he said "oh, you are the one with the messy front garden" Bloody cheek!
@SteveMichaels11@andrewlawrence Yes, I had Wimbledon finals tickets, never again, felt like a lot of effort for little return compared to a ticket in the first week.
