A few things i have learnt about bikes and bicycling..

So far i have learnt how to....
When cycling, blow the snot from your nose under your armpit, not over your shoulder.
Pee on the bike. Have yet to master this whilst actaully moving however.
Fix a broken chain. It will however break when you least want it too.
Mend a bent rear dropout. With a shifting spanner of course.
Chain my bike to a train window frame.

I still to learn how to pre-empt the horn blast from an approacing truck. You know its coming but it still gets you every time
Gaffa will fix everything. Even holes in a tent

The Allen key that fixes most things on your bike will be the one that you loose first.

  1. Hey Emrys,
    Have just finished reading though all your blogs- what an amazing adventure you are having! Sounds like the trip of a lifetime!
    Caught up with your mum and all the Mattner's the other day at Laura's wedding. They told me about the trip you are doing...
    Hope that you are keeping safe and warm!
    All the best,
    Joel Voortman
