Squiffy handlebars be damned! Corporal Odd was extremely unamused by the Oddmobile's motiveless suicide yesterday. He voiced his lack of amusement in Halfords today. They seemed moderately unimpressed actually, as if 5-day-old bikes careering out of control is a common occurrence. This worries me greatly. I was probably fractionally irrational in all honesty, although I think I was entitled to be irate (a collector's item in itself) seeing as the breakdown was responsible for not only myself, but Veg and Nom having to wheel for over two hours.
Anyway, after no little macho posturing between myself and the manager (name omitted as I've forgotten it), I settled, wearily, for replacement of the stem and handlebars by lovely aluminium parts. And not, say, a large amount of free stuff. Gngh. I'm not very good at this complaining lark.
Therefore, I am bikeless until the weekend, at which point I will be too busy to actually use it. Bah humbug. Still, managed to get some running in. (Some does not neccessarily equal a large amount.)
EPIC FAIL. (note to self - don't let this become a recurring theme.)
PS. My beloved Seattle Mariners have now lost 11 games in a row...
