Both him and his dogs were very lucky its a 60mph limit there and used by a lot of hgvs .

Just thought I'd check in on the Forums first.

Nice one Jack (y)

Honestly I did it for my own benefit , if something had happened to the dogs or the dogs caused an accident I would have felt awful knowing that I could have done something and did nothing so the solution was to do what needed to be done , the result was a little lost time for the motorists on the A5 , 2 safe dogs , no accidents and me feeling ok about myself but a little disappointed in the number of people who drove around them before I arrived on the scene .

Worked from home today, bloody good job too.

Went to my daughters school assembly this morning, picked up the commuting machine at lunch time, and saw the physio this afternoon.

Looking forward to trying the commuting machine out tomorrow. It's had a new derailleur, and chain plus the old twist shift has be swapped fit a thumb shifter.

Laundry. Bike clean. Kitchen clean. Bedroom clean.

It's fairly safe to say I'm gonna spend the entire day cleaning.

Should be a massive improvement, twist grip gearshift is utter pants - even brand new.

It's like a different bike, shifts both up and down are bang on and quick too. Very happy cyclist, 80 sheets well spent.
