This afternoon's first cycling mechanic job, removing an Abus wheel lock from a Christina bike. Less than 5 minutes with my @lidlgb angle grinder

How many times does your adult, resident son need to tell you to f#ck off before you slap him. Asking for a friend.😡

Surely the US military must be getting closer to a Stauffenberg moment with the orange clown?

Quiet Thursday afternoon on the Penrhyn Road cycle lane. Closest I've got to being hit for some time. Too many motorists aren't aware of this type of cycle lane. The driver was very apologetic #cyclethreads @sainsburys

We're in the middle of a major soccer tournament, Engerland are doing well but there are hardly any England flags about. Have the flag shaggers completely destroyed the St George Flag brand? Are folks afraid of being seen as racist f@ckwits for flying one?

Tricky conversation with customer today, over 1% wear on her 12sp chain was going to be expensive. Chain, cassette and front chainring

My wife is at the company summer party, my 19yo son is swimming in the Thames somewhere. I'm sitting in the garden listening to some blues and drinking a half decent Lidl Portuguese red. I'm chilled

Clearly a day for it. Sitting centre in the bike box, ahead only, left turn only beside. Lights change, I start off and a police bicycle comes bombing up my inside. I catch up with him, "you should know better than to undertake at speed" I say. 1/n

Been a while since I've properly lost it with a driver, but this morning Not a particularly close pass but as I looked across at the driver, the hand holding the wheel was also holding a make-up case and the other a brush, the driver was leaning in to look at the rearview mirror.

Fixing bikes outdoors on people's doorsteps has been tough for this ginger this week. I've been lucky with mostly shade but I'm happy to have the rest of the week off. Supporting the lad race the Nationals in Aberystwyth and catching up with @torialyons

I have a Asgard bike shed in the front garden, total confidence in the security. I need additional storage in the back. No side or rear entrance but a high side fence/wall to the the world. Do I need the £1600 Asgard I fancy or will a £600 shed do the job? #cycling

Waiting outside Portsmouth harbour on the Isle of Wight ferry whilst a huge cruise ship existed. I started to look up the facilities on board, these included a naturist sun deck, with two jacuzzis. Yes, it was a German vessel

I recently bought an air purifier, after a bad allergic reaction. The lad was heading out last night, and dousted in Lynx, I laughed as the purifier kicked in and declared the air highly polluted 😂

Monday started with an achy big toe, Tuesday was a little worse, Tuesday night the pain woke me up, booked a Dr Appt, X-ray and blood tests. This morning, the foot is swollen and red. Going back to the Dr. I can barely walk so work is cancelled

Dragged myself out for some eMTB fun this afternoon. 3km in and the electrics keep shutting down. All obvious connections checked. No luck so it's back home. Diagnostics suggests a dodgy connection between the main battery mount and the drive unit

The lad {19yo} is helping a cycle race team in Algeria. The organisers have underestimated the appetite of young cyclists and he messaged last night to say they are starving. This morning they are getting a security escort to the supermarket. Is the protection for the boys or for the supermarket?

It's a long time since I reffed at the Rosslyn Park schools 7s. No champagne bar or Private Jet charter tents back then. I guess VAT on school fees isn't hitting that hard. #rugby

First time back on the eMTB since my visit to A&E three weeks ago. Was hoping for a gentle cross country but the Komoot ride threw in couple of black runs, flooded byways and 1km of quick sand. Great day out!

I spent too long last week re-fitting some tubeless tyres for a customer, dried sealant and bad seals. Finally got them to hold air and put them on the bike. They are too big for the mudguards. FFS 🤬

A rare day on a commuter train, off to learn stuff. Against my better judgement I bought a takeaway coffee. Can the chains please accept that a "small" cup is still too big for a cappuccino

I have a subscription to some smelly soaps. The company is a smaller US brand. I was going to cancel but I noticed they are from California, part of the Rebel Alliance (?). Do I cancel?

Watched One Battle after Another, a great film. A few years ago a story about a white supremacist federal agents chasing down libs might be considered a distopian fantasy. It now looks like a docu-drama

All day fixing other people's bikes means my own bikes get neglected. Finally had to give the @ternbicycles GSD some attention, new chainring, chain, gear cable, cassette and a free hub and rear mech clean.

There is lots of speculation that the US Air force build up in the UK is in preparation for a Greenland attack. If this Government allows the UK to be platform for such a venture, I will be out in the streets with the millions of others.

No mountain bike ride today. Plugged the main battery in last night, didn't notice the charger was disconnected. This is all the range extender can offer 😭 Too late to get the road bike out

10yrs I've been taking my 18yo son to bike races, this is the first time I've refused. Why? The last race, National CX, was the last straw, F*ck, Pr*ck, C*nt were all used by the ungrateful sod as we prepared for the races over the last couple of years, and I've had enough.

I'm going to the O2 tonight to watch Halestorm. Realised I also have a free afternoon so I might as well make a day of it. Need some suggestions of things to do before the gig. I've lived in London for nearly 40 years so l needs to new/not obvious and cheap

It's not particularly busy in the bike fixing world at the moment. However I've had to turn down three jobs recently because they were conversations. Even if they were legal (!), I have to certify that the changes are safe if I work on it in any way.
