I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.......

I got to take my bike out for a spin today. I've been riding it for the last couple of years with a slightly buckled rear wheel but for Christmas a new wheel arrived from Father Christmas!!! Yay!!!

I put the new one on this afternoon, took it out for a spin and I'd crashed within a quarter of a mile. I'd like to point out at this point that it wasn't my fault, I was having to pass an illegally parked lorry and with the oncoming car my front wheel stepped out from under me under braking on the wet road.

A broken front light and a hole in my jeans (and knee) later I was not best happy.
