I tried to buy a new Anakee front tyre at Cycletreads today. They are fresh out and no new ones in sight. Apparently some dudes on GSs came by and bought the lot, so they could do a ride… That's just rude, no thought for the locals. I had to buy a second hand front instead. With a bit of luck front and rear will wear out together. So all will be good in the end.They also did a warrant of fitness for me. Of course the bike came through with flying colours, not. Thankfully they found the fault, it could have been serious. Imagine you are trying to park your bike on a cold dark night somewhere outside. That's when you notice that your park light is not working. You'd be gutted and would have to leave again. Well, I won't have to, thanks to the friendly man at Cycletreads. We found a replacement bulb. Heck, I didn't even know I had a park light.Oh, having to hang around for so long made me spend even more money. As my commuting suit came in "run-me-over" black only, I'd decided to buy a high-viz jacket. Now I can blend in with the high-viz crowd again. They'd started to give me funny looks already. That's peer pressure for you. I won't mention the new digital tyre pressure gage, as I am sure you've already stopped reading by now.
