    It was our local Halfords stores and not the LBS where I'm buying my new bike from, partly because they are a lot more expensive and partly because my tyres were badly perished on the side walls. I'm fairly handly with a spanner so will probably be able to put the bike right myself. The only way I let them change the tyres for me was because I've never seen it done before. My son's bike needs new tyres too and now that I know how to do it, I'll be doing it myself.

    I'm going to be busy tonight. I won't be going for my usual evening ride with my son (he's disappeared off out with his mates anyway), it's blowing a bit of a gale at the moment and hubby is working late so I'll take the bike into the kitchen and work on her there. She wants cleaning anyway.

    I took her into the shop where I'm getting my new bike from today (gone in to pay some more money off the purchase price). Maybe she's jealous
    There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home

    Sometimes they can lube the shifting cables and that makes them much smoother moving.
