Puncture woes
Ahhhhrrgghhh! I had another puncture on the way home. I had just overtaken a lady cyclist and was coming up to the Lambeth Road when I heard a loud pssst sound. I immediately thought it was the rear tyre. Within seconds though it became apparent that the front tyre was completely flat. What made it …
Hovis London Freewheel 2007
We went to the Hovis Freewheel Festival on Sunday. The plan was to arrive at 12pm when the initial crowds had died down. That was certainly the case as Peckham Rye common was quite empty. On the way from Ladywell we acquired a convoy of about fifteen riders. I had the honour of leading the …

Incisors
Jake has two incisors now. There can’t be that many left now. He seems to be sprouting one after the other in an endless litany of teething. Jake woke this morning when my alarm went off at 6.35am. After my shave I popped into his room. As expected he was sitting up looking a little …

Puncture
It had to happen but I thought I’d have to wait at least a year. When I got to Clapham Junction for my journey home I found my rear tyre was flat. In fact the tyre had completely come away from the rim. At first I thought that some scrote had let the air out …
Cycling in the rain
I was hardcore today. None of this fair weather cycling for bode. I looked out the window when I woke. It was grey, it was raining. Fine I thought “let’s do it”. I donned my new Helly Hansen long sleeve top, baggy shorts and fluorescent jacket and headed off. I don’t mind getting my legs …
We love Jake!
Jakles has been a delight this weekend. He has been smiling and laughing when he flaps his lips and generally on good form. He is gurning a lot which leads us to believe that a tooth will be making an appearance soon. That will make it 14. Ames says that one of the canines is …
