Cycle of Violence continues

and indeed rides again. As you may be aware (indeed, despite some truly ‘bang bang club-esque’ photos from the heart of the riot, all you have been interested in, is the bike) the hum-vee on 2 wheels that transports me from A-to-Y took a hit in the piccadilly warzone last wednesday, causing me to leave it locked up in the centre of town. It had a quick release front wheel that was probably worth more than the rest of the bike and a sentimental value that is probably pennies more than its actual value of £50 off e-bay.

So resigned for the worst I made my way into town, remembering the good times like the 54 mile midnight bike ride from Manchester to Formby, with a rocket on the back, Earlier this year

So imagine my surprise then, when I reach town and find it fully in-tact, un mollested and un scathed.. well slightly scathed… a bit wrecked in the back wheel to be fair, but as usual, throwing more money at it than it is actually worth saves the day and ‘the cycle of violence’ is back and ready to be trailered up and used as a tractor down on the allotment again.

They never even made off with the bottle opener on the saddle – people of manchester, i owe you an apology for ever doubting you.

    Let me congratulate you on the survival of the bike, AND the glory of another SPL under the belt. Possibly the best of recent years after such a points gap was overhauled. Maybe that Ranger’s treble can be reduced to absolutely nothing… come on Queen of the South!
