I took pity on my "old" bike today.
It's a Ridgeback Velocity I got last April, a commuting bike which I'd considered using for LEJoG. However it's a bit tinny and the straight bars make it less comfortable for long rides. It has given me most of 4000 miles of fun since I got it.
Anyway, back to the pity: the Velocity was looking a bit worried about the Newcomer. I reckon it was keeping clear of the wheelie bin and any passing skips in case I got fed up with it and tossed it in. Not so: it's still my trusty day-to-day bike, and now has new brakes and cables, ready for more North Lanarkshire grit and Scottish rain.
