I was wondering if a cyclist's obsession for collecting bikes, N+1, plus bike related bits could be likened to that of the Bower Bird ? The shed or garage which is the Bower, is decorated in such a way as to distract a mate!

New lady on BBC one news, she is rather lovely

I've just changed the bulb on my bedside lamp, now I can see the mistakes I'm making on my crossword!

It's dry and still outside. I'm enjoying sitting up in bed with my book and my Hudl, but wondering if we were right to cancel the club rides today? Nobody fancied the sleet and heavy rain that was forecast. I went out yesterday instead and got cold and wet!

Just waiting for Mrs M to get up so I can go for a walk. The towpath was becoming indistinguishable from the canal proper yesterday.

Do you only ever ride on the towpath? If it's flooded, why not find a new route? Quiet roads?

I got up this morning looked at the snow and abandoned my plans to ride today, I'll ride tomorrow. Some of the local clubs were posting on facebook last night saying their rides had been cancelled.
