I took my bike in for a service at Halfords just before I went on holiday. I’ve been running it in for the last 3 months and they do a freebie service to tighten up bits that have loosened and so on.
Part of the adjustment needed was the saddle height, as it kept slipping down till I ended up crouched in the seat. All sorted when I got it back. Magic.
Thing is, it was chucking it down when I got home, so I decided to shift the car under the passageway leading to our rear parking area so I could unhook the bike and car rack in the comparitive dryness.
*crunch*
Arse.
As the saddle was now about 3″ higher than it used to be, it smacked off the roof and now has a whacking gash in the back of it and the surface looks like it’s been given a good going over with a cheese grater.
Mind, that’ll teach it to numb my bollocks.
Arse indeed
Bikes are **** machines, ridden by arseholes. If I see you, I’ll run you over. Get rid of it, and become fit with sex instead.
I am using the bike to become fit *for* sex. And in between, seeing as my other half lives 100 miles away… and will soon be abroad for 18 months!
Perhaps numbing my scrotum for the duration of her stay abroad wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Now thats what I call CBT 😉

You strange, strange woman… and no – you can’t numb my bollocks for me!
Brilliant, never thought that I’d use this blog as a public information portal but I shot off to Halford’s with Son 2’s bike today and you are right they do service it for free.
Dave – I didn’t know either. I rang them about something else and they mentioned it in passing. It’s just the first service and it has to be booked within 3 months of purchase, though.
Bastard Cyclists!
SFG – I fear you’ll be seeing more of them over the next few weeks if these selfish fuel-blockading ***** have their way.
Bastard fuel protesters! Forcing more bastard cyclists on to the roads…
I used be a pretty good cyclist, my father the right honourable……. was a competition cyclist of some repute in his day.
Bet if he had a **** like you trying to run him off the road he’d have been even better.
the “oh sorry luv didn’t see you” brigade are the curse of the road, safe in their little sofa’s with engines they show bollocks all regard to anyone else out there
********!
I wanna carry a big hammer on my bike. If I can swing my arm to the right and smash a wing mirror/window/whatever then the car’s passing too ******* close.
