Auntie Helen ... I am reporting you to the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Bikes!!! Not even one bike but two!!! The fact you are prepared to admit to such cruelty is hopefully the first step on the road to recovery.

The first bike was mine, the second my husband's (now his donorbike).

I hasten to add that I look after my trike pretty well. Except I forgot to put it away yesterday so it spent all night outside in the garden!

The thing is, despite this wanton act of cruelty the bike was running more sweetly than it has for yonks this morning. Clearly it enjoyed its night on the tiles!

I'm sure a person with knowledge of physics and or mechanics will explain all

Ok, I've a degree in Physics and I've no idea.

I will however state that racing colleagues (g0-karts and cars) always swore their vechicles gave the sweetest ride and their best performance just before something failed catastrophically.

Enjoy it while it lasts

OK I stand corrected

So very true. I have had a number of cars that I thought were running at tiptop performance and thus spend money on only to find they were due for catastrophic cascade failure.

Or it's behaving, so it isn't punished so cruelly again.
