Pulling a bike mechanic and other things that happened on my rideout today

I dunno. Riding a bike just isn't ladylike.

Oh and move the pedal bin, it'll only get stuck on your pegs, and drag it along with you

Then it would appear you need confidence in other areas of your life, not only bike riding.

So you say you had crap "bike" make-up. Some people prefer less make-up, I certainly do. You had "theme park hair" - again, some people prefer that look.

Hardly weird that someone was attracted to you IMO.

Of course, it's your decision to break the hearts of the guys on the forum or not.

That was a nice read, cheered my up
Im glad to hear it didnt go too bad (and that you didnt drop it)

I'd like to point out i was wearing crap bike make up and other peoples textiles lol. and i had theme park hair. made me laugh quite a lot though lol!

So after picking up a bike mechanic, off home i went (the long way through town to avoid turning right at the top of Berners Street (-Suffolkonians should know this road - has blockbusters at the bottom of it) i didnt filter, thought i'd just keep it simple today, and it was actually a good thing because it made me practise my slow speed control

Don't you love me anymore?!

(PS Congrats on rideout!)

Sounds good... I had thought about going to Crowtree Leathers for some MTM... OH not keen on that idea though (he's just jealous!) incase I get preggers (not likely!) and then don't fit in them!
