Apparently the new bike is due to be delivered today.
However, as there's nobody at work today, I've moved that to tomorrow.

It is rather. Maybe now the weather isn't so good and people are back at work, there's less of a run on new bikes.

Just realised I wrote "nobody at work today". Obvs, I meant "nobody at home today".

I booked my bike in for a free Health Check at Halfords last week.... I know they get bad press but I can't fault the guy I got....
He asked me if i had any areas of concern, I said my brakes felt a bit below par, but otherwise ok. I told him I'd recently changed my own inner tube, (he said pressure good and all fine), and told him I'd recently fitted my SPD pedals, so he double checked the torque on pedals (a smidge more torque on them but not far off, go me!)
He said new pads wouldn't go amiss, and he offered to do them there and then, and tightened brake cables. Feels great now, so much more responsive.
Also recommended a new chain and rear cassette in the next few months. They were smooth enough, but definitely a bit stretched.
Rang the transaction thru £28.99 for pads and labour, and then promptly shoved it on a government voucher to cover cost.
As I am utterly skint, I could have kissed him!

She has arrived Maz, yes. She is lovely. Rode in today for the first time, happy with my choice. I much prefer the riding position, was glad to not have to carry a bag and was able to put on a decent pace without much effort.
Just went out to the gazebo to take some photos, but there's someone there and I thought it would look a bit odd.

Not the best angles or camera. And no radiator to lean it against
