Around three weeks ago I had one of those 'only hurts when I laugh' moments with the bicycle.
It was one of those almost stationary falls, and more embarrassing than anything, although at the time I had to do that quick zone by zone assessment to see which bits of me hurt.
The verdict was along the lines of 'keep taking the tablets' rather than anything involving bandages and sympathy and I'm more or less back to fully functional again.
I'm also doing okay against my annual target (around 32% complete) and we are now entering the bicycle update season again, where I start looking at gear cassettes and new chains.
Just for fun, in the short term I may just get some of that new chain lubricant that glows in ultra violet light. I've wondered for a while why they don't make a different coloured glop to put on chains to see the coverage, and now they are starting to do it. And soon there'll be a nano-technology version as well.

I got some of that stuff. Comes with a little torch to shine on the chain. Which I've probably lost by now.
Hmm. Wondering how generally useful a UV chain torch would be? I will certainly invest to find out.
