Smartphone

Real tyre levers aren't the only high tech devices at our disposal. We'll be updating this blog daily from our smartphone. The last short message from me (with a photo as well! ) was my first successful experiment!
And with GPS, e-mail and internet access we should be ready for anything - so long as the coverage holds up.

The dreaded SPOONS!

Many thanks to Andy B from my local cycle club for helping me tackle the maintenance issues of my bike. His face was a picture when he saw my 'spoons' aka 'tyre levers'.

He has persuaded me to invest in the real stuff.

Next week Andy, promise............
