1) I seem to listen to Toyah. Mylee Cyrass (Spelling?), and Girls Aloud a lot when on the turbo
2) When someone ask me in the office what my average speed was coming into work or on a weekend ride – I always add 1 or 2 mph
3) I use kmh as speed on my garmin – though in reality I often have to transfer it to mph on a calculator to know what the speed really is (but I hear using kmh is more pro)
4) I think men wearing pink Rapha clothes look like tools :)

1) I read articles on websites long after they have been posted
2) I draft buses (you don’t get many horse boxes in London)
3) I cheat on my Garmin sometimes when on a turbo session and I need a break – I hit the stop timer button – take a breather for a min and then once the cadence is back up to the level I stopped the timer at, I turn it back on)
4) I have considered using strava at night along with my car (no I haven’t actually done this).
5) If there is no pedestrian near a crossing and the light is red I go through it.
6) I don’t use a helmet on my commute when the weather gets hot
7) I believe that buying all the latest gadgets on my bike will make me go much faster than any real difference.
8) When I see a nice woman on a bike – I look at the bike and not the woman
9) I prioritise buy new lycra (or anything bike related) over a new work suit
10) If I see a single speed bike ahead I have to beat the hipster riding it at all costs – and this has meant occasionally taking a turn up a small side road to take a breather when I realise I cant maintain the lead.
11) I don’t take life too seriously and never worry when making inflammatory posts on website comments sections :)

Funny though it did help keep me warm on the cold morning.

My defence it was about 2am Sunday morning and it put me on a level playing field with all the taxis in Leeds centre at that time

I was lucky to escape a lifetime ban from the blazers at the CTT.
