    So my fellow cyclists... Left the bike in work on Friday as I was going for a couple of beers after work. Train in this morning, the siht hits the fan and I'm here til 10pm. Looking forward to really pumping it hard on the cycle home, go down changed and all the the bike rack. No key for my lock so the Gf's driving in with a spare, question is do I stick the bike in the boot or cycle home and have a moody woman waiting for me when I get there??

    If you dont hear and update tomorrow, it means she's killed me :D

    Jump in the car with her and let her nag all the way home. She’ll get it out of her system, and it’s easier to tune her out if you’re in the car... just keep apologising & say how thankfull you are. Not to mention how lucky to have such a great GF...

    Just don’t comment on her driving…. Trust me..! :rolleyes:

    Tuck in behind the car and cruise all the way home?

    Probably not good by the sounds of it...I hope you went for the boot option and looked suitably apologetic.

    Went for the boot option, though she did nag quite a bit on the way home, I drove though but i let her choose the radio station :D.

    I also brought her a cup of tea when she went to bed, so all is well :D
