And typically, things have started to go wrong. Yesterday I got my first ever puncture. Now I had hoped to go to the "How to swear at your bike, bruise strange places and tear your hair out because the manufacturers of your bike chose not to offer a centre stand" (or puncture repair) demo while I was at the HUBB UK, instead it looks like I get to learn the diy way while the local kids walk past shouting "what you doing mister?"
Of course the puncture means I probably won't get out of London to Mr Tricky Walby's shed of wonder where I was going to change the chain, sprocket and rear wheel bearings, so I'll end up having to do those with the bike balanced precariously on a box, on the pavement outside our flat too, cue more annoying kids.
Ah well it's all part of the fun of being a newbie biker and who says that you can't have an adventure in your home country? See you soon everyone. Now where's the number for my breakdown cover?
