Plonker

Climbing wall with frustration .Well got my bike back from hospital. Resplendent with new back wheel and the advice that it would work better,  now its not buckled. The cause apparently was going over bumps? Its a mountain bike. I don't know of any smooth mountains? I was then told my handle bar grips back to front. Although i knew this and its easier on my bad wrist..i pleaded ignorance and walked out the repair shop feeling like the village bike idiot.  With a new seat, a new wheel. New tyres..my bike is like Triggers new broom in ofah. Then as locking up bike.. A nice lady told me, how her £2000 bike was stolen, using the very same lock as mine..hmm wonder how much a bus is to derby .coffee
