Due to the current situation, Her Majesties' Government has decided today will be cancelled.  Please continue as if it were only yesterday until it becomes tomorrow or the situation is further reviewed.

... Her Majesties ...

How many majesties?

Monarchs are plural e.g. "We are not amused".

Oh, and please form an orderly queue, keeping 2 metres apart. Thank you. Have you washed your hands?

Charlie the bikemonger's mailing this morning


Here at Bikemonger we pride ourselves on scouring the globe for the finest cycling products available, but this month we've really excelled ourselves with an exclusive range of UK and German designed ultra-lightweight integrated cycling equipment. This branded range of high performance cycling apparel and accessories is sure to take the cycling world by storm.

Made with 80% recycled materials and aerospace grade polymers this range is destined to be perennially popular with the minimalist bikepacker, cycle tourist, commuter and leisure rider alike. Every product is 100% waterproof and is the lightest in it's class. They are all backed by a lifetime guarantee; if you wear it out we'll replace it free of charge.

Is it okay for me to take a shower now? Or do I have to keep just washing my hands?

The lightweight and high tech will appeal to the audax market but I think it's far too fashion-forward to really catch on except among those reckless types who risk disc brakes, tubeless tyres and aluminium frames.

We're celebrating a friend's birthday, which happens to fall on March 32nd, here...
Happy birthdays to one and all!
