    People think the roads are bad when they're in cars. It's only when you get on a bike that you realise exactly how bad they are...

    Ok, so in my innocence I had to look up "pie plate" (still wet behind the ears!). Anyway it's staying put for now.

    I plan on getting pedals but I already went over budget so have to wait for approval from the accountant (read wife lol).

    you'll be needing a cage for the bidon, or you can carry it down your collar

    God be with the days in the late 90s/early noughties when the then corpo let any muppet that had access to a JCB dig up the roads willy nilly followed by dumping a big metal plate down over the resultant hole with the bizarre notion that that made for something resembling an acceptable road surface. Great fun when wet!

    Hmm perhaps you are in the wrong forum?

    Anyway so I am thinking first purchase some cycle clothing. Next shoes and pedals.

    And quite rightly! As I said to bikesnobnyc a couple of years ago:
    "Excellent! Hadn't taken mine off my year-old road bike yet and had no idea how offensive it was. I will leave it to fester with pride."
    It's still there :cool:

    Enjoy the bike!

    PS: bikesnob later relented on the Pie Plate Hate a bit, acknowledging the spiritual dangers of such, among other things
