    Cuppa T:maybe the fresh air will be good for me, any idea of where you would like to go?
    Im still trying to get in contact with some guy to get the keys for my flat and also........ i wonder if my shoes at the shop arrived today, if so a possible cycle up there would be good.

    not too sure, got my camera with me, we could just go somewhere and take some pics. I need to swing by Conn artists flat and pick up my callipers some time after 7, other than that im easy.

    haha, i have honestly no idea what went wrong! i was just sitting staring out of the office (look right over the far corner of the park beside park circus & bigslope)..

    the guy was just pedaling normally, wobbled around a bit.. brakeless .. took feet off the pedals and then what into a fairly big tree and went over the handlebars!

    i was in hysterics! someone jogged over to see if they were ok.. he got up and scarped quickly! Wasnt wearing a bag or anything, so i doubt he was a messenger!

    I spotted a very nice blue Bob Jackson with white rims and extremely narrow bars (the same one that was in Gear a couple of weeks ago, I think) on Great Western Road but by the time I realised, it was past so sorry if you thought I was being rude by not waving!

    Yesterday in Clarkston we passed the all blue bike with the blue chain. Looked like a ghost bike painted the wrong colour. We spotted someone on Pollokshaws Road at Eglinton Toll. I can't remember any description. It was around 8:30pm. Also, on Glassford street towards the end of the ride we passed a guy with a Campag cap, black bike and a white chain.
