According the UCI rules you can't ride without a helmet, and I'm not sure if sandals are the best for clipless pedal cleats... Other than that, looking good!

Every year someone - usually you - rakes up the past

Why don't you photoshop a top-box on it, just for a laugh?

I fixed my bike today, it's 1980's vintage Dawes Ambassador that I found in a skip, looks like something a vicar would ride and the car wheel spray I put over the rusty bits means it's of zero interest to tea leaves, The old rear wheel gave up the ghost so it was replaced with one from an equally old Townsend I'm restoring, I really like old 70's and 80's bikes.

Wooooooo. First ride for many a many year. Taken first steps to getting fit and looseing weight...

Managed 7 miles in 42 minutes up some big hills and loads of buses / traffic through Dudley. Now for Monday when I start my 8 miles each way cycling to work. Feels amazing. Just wanted to share that.
