So, this week hasn't been the best ever. This evening, I cycled into town to ring at the Cathedral; the bike started misbehaving as I approached town, but I managed to find somewhere to lock it up (note to Council - if you're going to produce a map with "places to lock your bike" on it, it helps if it's remotely accurate!). Ringing was OK, although shockingly they didn't go to the pub afterwards.

On the way home, the bike got worse-skipping off gears, and generally being almost unridable at anything more than a gentle snail's pace. I couldn't sort it roadside, so limped home. I've just spent half an hour fettling the gears, and I just can't get it sorted - either something's rubbing, or it skips chainrings, and *gah*. So, tomorrow, I have to limp back into town - the nearest bike shop to home seems to be about 2.5 miles away, and hope the bike shop can fix it before I miss an entire day's work :-(

Does the Guild know about this rogue tower?

I am also shocked by this unbibulous behaviour. And I have visited this benighted tower with the Guild!

*Hugs* I've come across a few towers that fail to go to the pub, but not many. Bikes breaking is annoying. How was cycling? It took me 10 minutes longer to get into work today because of the cross winds. Cross winds which come from the field across the path towards the river are not fun.

Well, bicycle should be fixable. It's good ringing was okay. Perhaps someday you'll start a pub tradition.

The local ringers in Hackney (St. Johns) do go to the pub afterwards, but do not drink very much at all. I am very disturbed by this abormal behaviour.
