One of our cars has decided to start playing up – brakes pads by the sounds of it – so it went into the mechanics this morning.
In a fit of healthy-mindedness, I decided to drive the car there, and bike back. Now it’s been at least two years since I rode a bike in anger, but it’s only about 5 miles – should be easy right? Right?
Well to be honest, it wasn’t that bad1 (and I even went a long way round for a nicer/quieter ride) which pushed it up to 6 or 7 miles, but I was absolutely knackered when I got back!
Time to start getting fit again methinks…
1 Except for the fact that both tyres were flat, and when I started pumping up the front one it sounded like there was a masive puncture (which I still can’t find – valve must have been stuck) so it was a quick inner tube replace. Oh and the brakes squealed like a stuck pig for the first mile or so!
