EEEE! BIKE!!
Ok I *was* going to post a post about my bike, but I hadn't realised I hadn't finished my previous post about me dying. So this post is about me living my life to the max... again...

So recently I've been resiting buying a Mac Mini and a HDTV. Resisting quite well in fact, even through proximity of Apple stores etc etc, but this weekend was a slight dent in the "lets save LOTS" plan of life.

I might have bought http://www.boardmanbikes.com/road/road_team.html

For those of you wary about clicking links, heres a picture.

Its my bike


Yes its in my kitchen, yes it says CB or Chris Boardman, or Boardman 17 times over the entire bike, and yes, it moves like lightning. It also weighs less then my packed briefcase and I love it. NEEOOOWWNWN

That's the thing, they're probably the cheapest racers you can buy, but they've got insane stuff on them. Took it for a 10 mile ride today (bearing in mind I havn't been riding for a *long* time) and apart from getting used to the gear shifting, and the new way of holding the handlebars (long story) the only problem was when I pulled up on the handlebars to help put more force on the pedal, the entire bike's so light I just bunny hopped.

I haven't ridden a road bike for about 14 years :D They just look so wobbly to me on their hideously thin tyres.

Give me nice fat tyres and 26" wheels any day :)
