Cycling in the Heat


Having discovered that my Mountain Bike had a broken spoke yesterday and with a WC free day I had time to both get a cycle ride in and take the wheel to be repaired. I decided to do a road route that I haven't done for a while and got out early as the heat is getting a bit difficult for cycling at the moment. I had forgotten it had some rather steep sections and so was glad I completed it in the morning!

In the afternoon I took my wheel to a great little cycle shop next to the SBB Bahnhof in Basel, Wenger's Rad Shop (nothing to do with Arsene) and the guy said it would be ready in an hour!!! Spoke fixed, wheel trued and just 22 CHF - it's not all expensive out here. Also the owner had a photo that showed he was in the Guinness World Records for smallest tridem (bike for three) ever ridden too!
