Devon hills and broken gears 2018-01-22 After tree felling stopped LIz and I cycling along the Exe cycle path, we thought we go inland and "do some hills". The aim was to come back via Dawlish. At the top of a particularly long and steep hill I went to change gear and there was no gear lever! We eventually found it near the bottom of the very long, steep hill. Devon is no place to cycle when stuck in top gear.
Lympstone and back 2016-11-05 A windy ride round to Lympstone and back. Back on the Marin after its trip to the LBS for a new rear wheel. Not a happy bike - gear change was really sloppy, the chain came off and the rear brake rubbed. No wonder it all felt such hard work. Stopped at the Swing Bridges to watch them open to let yachts up to the canal basin.
Broken saddle! 2018-09-25 The rails on the bikes saddle broke on the ride home! After shifting on the saddle to try out different riding positions, all of a sudden the saddle went very wobbly. A quick check showed both rails had completely snapped in two. New saddle time.
