My chain snapped 4 miles in to the journey this morning. Just at an ordinary link, not the powerlink. Popped a link out and rejoined using my cranks tool, but couldn't get the rivet seated perfectly. New chain time, methinks.
In Leeds, a cyclist sails past me through a red light (I was waiting at the head of the queue). "Helloooo, red light" I sing out. He rolls through the next one as well (100m ahead).
I passed him 200m further on and stopped at the next set of lights. Sure enough, he sails past me "Do you know what red lights are for?" I call out.
He turns round, and with a face like he's had 10 pints of lager and his football team lost, screams "You, get a fucking helmet!".
Some people are wierd.
