This morning a tradie in a 4WD ute tried to run me off the road while I was riding along in the bike lane minding my own business., I wasn’t even in his way, he had two entire lanes to play about in. In getting the hell away from him I snapped one of my cleats so it wouldn’t lock into the pedal any more. So at lunch time I went to a bike store in the cbd and got some new cleats. I put ‘em on my shoes only to discover they were the wrong ones despite the assurances of three separate guys at the shop. And I just remembered I don’t have a receipt because their system was down, so now I’m out $40 and still can’t ride my bike.
