One or other of the Existentialists will likely have said something pithy about bicycle fettling, so assume I've cribbed the thing and put it here.
(Or make something up, find out for yourselves or just cut&paste from Hatchjaw's treatise on de Selby.)

Which is to say that I've scraped a disturbing amount of glass and thorns from the front tyre, patched the tube and pumped the bugger back up to rock-hard. We shall see what sort of state it's in tomorrow morning.

Elsewhere: SLF and Mark Stewart & the Maffia! YMO! Seated venue! Tickets wil go in seconds! While we're in Whitby! Arse!

Hmm, I might just have to get to that SLF / Maffia gig. Adrian Sherwood too? Hmm.

Kevlar tyre liners are great. Slime filled tubes are reasonably great, but do tend to fill the valve with gunk making pumping up entertaining. Both are better than punctures miles from home.

Must say, I swear by my Specialized Armadillo doo-hickys -they hardly ever let me down. I discovered the joys of kevlar many years ago, when I also discovered that The Hacienda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Haçienda) was on my cycle route. Before kevlar I got two flats a day, good times :)
