A lesson kneeded

Well this bad blogger now has a bad knee. Right leg very painful yesterday and my physio tells me I've damaged a meniscus (?) in my right knee.

How have I done this damage?

By not looking after my pedal clips. They're too tight and I haven't oiled them recently, so their a bit stiff to get in and out of and so the extra twisting motion has damaged my knee.

Fortunately I'm on the mend already with hot and cold presses and daily ultrasound treatments.

So, when I regularly service my bike I'm now going to include the clips!

Bad Blogger's back and in a bad mood

Probably like many of you, I subscribe to a forum. This one is specifically for cycling instructors.

I subscribe in the hope that forum contributors will share their experiences and nuggets of wisdom and best practice.

I am clearly way too naive.

The forum seems to be populated by extremists, bigots and self-satisfied prigs barking at the moon.

If these contributors are truly representative of the cycling instructor community I am gravely concerned for the future of cycling.
