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

Those old 70's two-part brake levers are now regarded as a bit dodgy because there's a lot of mechanical slack in the system and they don't brake very well. The modern way of doing it uses completely seperate levers, called cross levers because they're mostly used on cyclocross bikes.

Yeah... you need to get used to riding with hands on the brake hoods as that pretty much is the default position.
