I gave up cycling to work. A word of advice Nigel about peddling to work

It was a 5 mile journey, all uphill to work, when I finished at night it was all downhill home.
I used to get my speed up going down the hill on the way back and the momentum would take me halfway through this park I would turn into.
One evening after coming out of work and getting up to about 40mph in the slipstreamed position down that steep hill, I turned into the park, unaware that the fat ginger fuck I used to share some banter with, had took some air out of my front tyre.
I got thrown off the bike and was suddenly bouncing down the gravelly road. I could see myself approaching these really bright lights, Fuck I must be dead, oh hang on they're hallogen
Anyway the car and I came to a halt about a foot apart.
Some guy got out, asked if I was OK,
"Yea" I said with broken pride,as I hobbled away with a sprained ankle and half of my skin missing, picked up my mangled bike, dumped it in the park and rang a Taxi

Oh, the advice-

Don't take the piss out of Fat Ginger Villa Fans

I used to cycle to work in Bangkok. Great until it pisses down.

Now I walk to work in my underpants.

Not trying to mate no ,,,,,, a bit tongue in cheek ( but not much )

At the risk of loosing my kudos here is my new beast ( black beauty ) she makes for a very comfortable pleasant ride ,, the bike is pretty good to !

The Mrs said her "Poppa have same same before" Nigel.
There are Cambodian roots too

Nice stand !!

A couple of questions though

is that a bell ?

Whats with the chicken on the back seat ?

Is that a leather saddle ?

That aint no no chicken on the back of Nigels bike
it's a cock , and dread to think how leaning backwards a little,
invigorates his ride to work...

^

You know those people who whistle all the time ?

Now I understand

Do you have a large pipe to smoke whilst riding it, along with a set of plus fours?

Those whitewalled tyres will need regular maintainance with Jif and a toothbrush

^It keeps the butler off the streets.

Is that one of those 'bone shakers'?

I never thought they made them like that anymore.

Yep that,s a bell Sab and it makes a very ping ping noise ,,,,,, bit gay but you know UK elf+ saftey

Leather seat + handlebar grips ?? from Camboooooooodia ?? me thinks no ,,, but a good lookalike

Chicken on the back seat ??? cant see one mate ,,,,,,, you been on the lemonade again ? allthough now you come to mention it there was some strange noises from my rear end during the initial test run

Strangely enuf mate this is no bone shaker ,,,,,,, infact I was gonna say one of the most comfortable rides I have ever had ( but that would be stretching it a bit ) but no it,s a beaut to ride ,, with those far eastern swept back handlebars and comfort seat ,,,,,,, sealed bearings all round ,,,, virtually maintenance free drum brakes ,,,,,,,, Sturmey Archer 5 speed ,,,,,,,, LED lights ,,,,,, were good to go Monday morn .

Saturday when I went into work I took a huge lined curtain in with me , put in me locker to cover it up in the warehouse with to stop all the crap blowing about over it ,, my boss said " Nigel you worry me sometimes " lol

Mind you Jan aint none too happy ,,,,,, allthough to be fair the patio doors do look a bit odd with one curtain pulled across .


Anyway now I have assembled that beast I shall be moving on to a couple of my other hobbies today watching the British Superbikes and as its a bit crap outside today I shall be relaxing in the ol conservatory attempting a watercolour landscape enjoy your hobbies !
