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.

We’ve discovered a great way to use our thousands of accumulated Nectar Points (Supermarket Loyalty Card points)…we can use them to buy CDs! We recently got three in this way that I’ll just give a little write up of. I’m not the best music reviewer, but here are my thoughts. Amy Winehouse: Back to Black […]
