Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My gripe?
My son leaving his coat at a swimming pool. Not the local pool though. One that added 50 miles to my commute. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
It's the original from 2010. They're known to be weak, just annoyed cos I really needed the bike!
Looks like I'll be splashing the cash on the Tiger, battery plus chain and sprockets now required. Pete

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That's probably not too shabby for a bike battery.
