Creativity, curiosity, and code
I’ve had my HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) that I got for my cycle training for about 6 weeks now so it’s time I did a bit of a write up. Why Bother? First of all, why bother with an HRM? (If you haven’t spotted already I’m the kind of person that thinks a LOT and […]
Fuzzy went in for repairs yesterday, mostly because he needed it sooner rather than later, but also because I was driving to work anyway so that I could safely give blood at lunchtime and not have to ride home. But there’s lots of online cycling developments this week. Swindon Cycle Challenge One it the Swindon […]
I’ve not written much lately but have some free time so it’s a catchup kinda day. We’ve been on holiday (write-up of holiday thoughts to come) and feel a bit out of things, but we’re slowly returning to normality. Cycling Continuing long rides into work and doing my 8.5 mile route most days now. Having […]
There is much dispute in the cycling community about the quality of German manufacturer SKS’ Race Blades. After my sister gave me some Wiggle vouchers for my birthday (thanks Sarah), I have now bought some and so thought I ought to chip in to the debate. First of all, for those not in the know, […]
I’ve had a few minor incidents on my commute to and from work, and a couple of falls off Fuzzy that were my own stupid fault and didn’t hurt anyone else. But I had my first crash involving someone else today. It was nothing major. I, on my bike, collided with a 10-ish-year-old girl, also […]

Before I bought my beloved Fuzzy (the Felt…my road bike!), I did a lot of research into how to keep it in good nick. I asked questions on internet forums. I read books and magazines. And when it came to getting Fuzzy home I generally thought I knew what I was doing…and I was well […]
This was going to be a humorous, Fat-Cyclist-Style list of the best feelings in the world, but for reasons that I can’t really bring myself to mention, I’ve decided just to write about the feeling that prompted the post in the first place. With the longer days and the arrival of British Summer Time I’ve […]
I’m beind with updates again, including a big write up of our holiday exploits. It’s been a busy week, and with a 15 hour day at work on Wednesday, I was due a few late morning in, so I’ve been making use of my longer, 8.5 mile commute to work. I’ve had two little incidents […]
