Unicorns fart glitter.
Well it it could be worse Steve, it could have been Currie. Do you ever take the dog when you cycle or is the dog wise to that one?I am exceptionally fortunate to live in Balerno

I am exceptionally fortunate to live in Balerno, which is on the very edge of Edinburgh
I’m sure it suffers it’s fair share of rotten weather where cycling is not advisable
I am familiar with the area as I spent three years a the nearby Heriot Watt Riccarton campus in the 70s.
For my last term and a half I cycled into the Grassmarket daily. It was quicker than the bus. I had a bit excitement when I lost the front end turning on wet cobbles.
That's a rather brave dropoff.
There would need to be an ambulance on standby if I tried that!
I find this, in normal times I do some quite hard training rides on an evening but always struggled to sleep.Does anyone struggle with riding/exercising in the evening? It really messes with my sleep, oddly. I don't know how, or if, I can combat it.
When I'm well rested I sleep like a log, honestly it would take the house falling down to wake me, I'm usually out like a light until the alarm goes off but if I do some hard exercise after about 7pm then I'm tossing and turning all night and feel dreadful the next day, which is why I've been riding either morning or early afternoon whilst on furlough but going back to work has thrown a massive spanner in the works.

I tried clipless pedals for the first time this morning. I got some of those shimano spd commuter pedals which are flat on one side.
They were easier to clip in and out of than I imagined. Definitely easier than toe clips which I've used in & off over the years. They felt reassuringly secure, and the float was nice.
The big bonus was how easy it is to bunny hop.
Overall I rate them 9/10.
