Cheese


Verging On The Odd

Strange things seen on a ride.

#9 Cheese

Mid-ride snack. Nom nom.

Spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar

48 minutes, three Dremel multi cutting discs, one Dremel grinding bit, one singed finger and several choice swear words later I have finally removed my brand new Crank Brothers cleat and moved it to the correct position.

And all because they specced bolts made out of cheese, rather than the more usual steel. Probably saving themselves 0.7p in the process. So thanks, Crank Brothers.

Who cut the cheese? Ripe smell to warn cyclists their helmet needs replacing
