hirezFloyd Landis: fucken chapeau.
Oddly, doing w/o car and biking to and from work has been less of a trial than I had expected. Probably because I'm in better condition this time. This means I'm oddly relaxed about the state of the 9000, which confounded expectation (not mine) by firing up first time and not having anything obviously wrong with it. Yet.
Weird business. Whatever thing that was in my head that had stopped me doing the two-wheeled commute has vanished. I suspect it was doing the 5k in the cold and wet the other month. It's probably high time I bought some cycling shorts though.
I think I may have a clue where the Submarine Thing is going next, thanks to gibbering and arm-waving last weekend. It all goes a bit comp.risks. Probably. You know the drill - I start writing with good intentions in one direction and several pages later something completely different has happened and I'm left sitting there wondering what the hell's gone on. Marvellous. I'm (vaguely) with Van Morrison on that sort of thing.

Date: 2006-07-21 07:54 am (UTC)Don't be tempted to get a cheap pair though, they'll be shite. Go to a proper cycle shop when they're not busy and get some decent advice, then buy them online for less :)
