Puncture on my mountain bike yesterday meant I had to get on my roadbike to get into work.
I always feel a bit of a fool cycling around normal people on a flashy bike with aero bars and clip-in shoes but it did mean I slashed 10 minutes off my commute time.
Unfortunately, on the way home, I pulled up at some lights (yes real cyclists do that you know) and forgot I was clipped in and fell to one side with a strangled Pythonesque yell.
I am sure lots of people saw and I am sure lots of people laughed but I kept my eyes down as I slunk off cheeks burning with shame.
