Peculiar flash floods hit London for the second time since taking up cycling to work. I must say I quite enjoy them – I always end up singing as I pedal along and people take photos of me on their mobile phones. I feel like a right star. Peryl was pretty clean by the...

Well it arrived, a beautiful yellow dream machine. It came flat packed but I managed to keep singing throughout my frustrating attempts to put it together. Really it shouldn’t have been that hard, I’m just rather unfamiliar with all the road bike components – never heard of a Ring-go star.
