    Years ago, before the current knuckledragger craze for cyclist-hating, a pannier bounced off my bike in the city centre. As I ran back to get it I saw a driver actually change course to deliberately run it over. Nothing particularly precious in it at the time, but what if I'd had the puppy in there…
    He is now undoubtedly suffering from erysipelas and hidradenitis suppurativa after my fervent curses, and probably wondering "what did I do to deserve this?"

    Greek week on Lidl. Only the Cheese swirl and the white nougat is lovely. The ready made foods are poor quality and the taste is nowhere near the real thing.

    The baklava is alright.

    The blue and white packaging hints at dining al fresco on Santorini.

    I haven't tried that to be honest, the Ouzo will also probably be fine. Goes great with fish food.

    My continuing misadventures with SPD pedals continued today as when I unclipped the left and came to a stop, I for some reason leaned the other way and went right down. Another cyclist ahead of me did his best to not laugh, I'm sure a few drivers too and two pedestrians were very nice about too. Another mishap to cheer people up in the morning :pac:

    I can't decide if this is brilliant or absurd. Straddles the line between both anyway

    Introducing the VeloSock a "sock" for your bike.

    Having 3 bikes indoors I can see the appeal. I'd actually go so far as to say I like it but it's a bit on the expensive side for what it does.

    That's my thinking too. Around €50 by my reckoning though so seems steep, though cost and logic do tend to get thrown out the window when it comes to the bike!

    Can't decide whether it makes the wheel hubs look like erect nipples or Alien chestbursters.

    This to keep very small children away from the chain, etc? I used to drape a few coats over the bike in the hallway. Sort of worked.

    I find taking them in and wheeling them out causes most disruption ( marks on the wall, door etc etc ) . Not sure covering it while stationary would help.

    I was thinking that earlier. The Mods may do it just to annoy RobFowl again.

    Does anyone ever just stop and stare lovingly at their bikes?

    ....asking for a friend.

    Is that a bike in your sock or are you just pleased to see me?

    I love taking care of anything mechanical, bike has only 500kms on it now and I reckon it's been cleaned a good 10 times. It just has to be shiney, then I'll let it get as dirty as possible for a bit just so I can clean it when it's dirty rather than cleaning a clean bike.

    I do the same with my car
