New Bike

| 3 Comments

(The third "new ..." post in just over a month).

I was in Halfords buying panniers, new lights, a rear reflector for my aging bike which could fall apart at any moment (and part of the stand fell off earlier this week)...

I now have a Carrera Subway 1:

A rechargeable front light (which won't fly off the bike if I hit a pothole like my current one) will be very useful:

I can also go to Tesco without trying to cycle home with heavy weights on each handlebar:

The only downside is that I must now put my cycle lock through the wheels instead of just the frame every time I leave it because both of them can be removed without tools.

You know that you could take the front wheel into wherever you're going if necessary? That seems to be the standard way of keeping the bike from being ridden off at least. Maybe not something to do for the shops, but for work maybe?

And isn't it the 4th new? Printer, Clock, Server... Bike...

Taking off the whole wheel is even worse... it's actually easier to get the lock through both wheels than it was on my old bike.

Four... yes :( (but the other one doesn't start with "new").
