The roads I hate the most

We have just had a customer in who has had 4 punctures in as many weeks on the same spot of road.  This of course prompted us to get on our high horses.

‘Flooded roads, glass coated tarmac, pot holes the size of small counties, erratic black cab drivers’, blah blah blah….

It turned out Amhusrt Rd is the bane of our customers life, causing him to be late to work on a weekly basis…

I hate Bishopsgate. It’s meant to be a road, but it’s not. It’s a light controlled strip of singletrack oozing with police officers and drunks.

I also hate Wharfside Way. A ride down this kamikaze run is not for the faint hearted, it’s teaming with foreign H.G.V drivers who haven’t got the foggiest where they are going and they are ready to cut you up all the way…it’s dog eat dog.

Apparently (according to the Doctor we had in today) the roads to the North of Glasgow are a real menace…

Please send us the ‘Roads You Hate the Most’ for a chance to win a belter of a prize.

T & C’s: The prize draw will be on the 31 st December 2010 at 23.59…we will phone the winner immediately, if they do not answer the phone within 3 rings, they will loose the right to the prize and it will be allocated to a member of Sargent and Co staff.

Eddie Merckx video

Some time ago Robs beloved Eddie Merckx was used as a prop in a music video…you an watch it here, it’s a super nice video, it was used as a backdrop at the Metronomy gig at the Bicycle Film Festival…the band aren’t my cup of tea, not that it matters….the video is sweet and the bike is awesome…(Rob watches this video like a proud father watches his daughters walking down the aisle).
