The Joys Of Interest Free Credit
My new bike arrived today, and I feel like a kiddy in a sweet shop. I used to do a lot of mountain biking before wine, women and song diverted my attention elsewhere, but after a trip to Fort William I fancied getting back into it. So, I bought a new bike, and isn't she a beauty:
Disc Brakes!
Rear Suspension!
Despite being designed for flying down hills, through bogs etc, and marketed to me as a general extremegnarlydudemachine, it still came with reflectors on the wheels and had a bell in the box. The manual also states that it should not be ridden off-road, despite being designed explicitly for that purpose. Hmm.
Riding home from work, bouncing up Buchanan St did feel a little odd (it's better sprung than my couch) but after a quick detour off the hills in Kelvingrove Park I started getting used to it. Don't think I'll be doing anything too "X-Treeeme!" yet but you never know. Better get some critical illness cover.

I'd be getting theft cover as well- you leave that badboy out of your sight for 10 minutes and it'll be gone. Just like David Blaine. Or is that Craig David?
