I now have my bike back and I again look at the front wheel and cannot believe how bent it is. I felt sad cleaning the bike and taking the wheel to be straightened. It was only a few weeks ago that I had bought it. It would be nice if it was as easy to get my arm sorted out.
I walked into the bike shop, tail between my legs, to be greeted by a cheery hello from Mark Jones, who I have not seen for a couple of years. I explained my problems to him and the mechanic and we proceeded to solve the world’s problems for half an hour.
