No news is good news

For those of you who eagerly follow this blog (and I know there are one of you) I thought I'd post an update. Daylight savings is here, my light has been taken off the bike and aside from losing a bolt from my battery rack and having to do some on-the-road repairs, my only issues have been mechanical. Well, that and being swooped by magpies.

The mechanical problems consist of a knocking in the drive-train that we have so far been unable to cure. It is intermittent and every time Paul from Smith Cycles takes it all apart and puts it all back together again (3 different bottom brackets later) it goes away for 1-2 commutes only to return. Since it doesn't appear to have any effect on my ride we have decided to let it go until it becomes mittent (you know, the opposite of intermittent).

Winter went well, I managed to average 2 rides per across the whole winter and last week I rode 3.5 times, the half being me dropping the car in for a service then riding the rest of the way to work.

That is all for now,
Ciao.
