Verging On The Odd

Teagan.Strange Sad things seen on a ride.
#5 Sign.
There's a story here, but we'd prefer not to know. I'm quiet and pensive for the rest of the ride.
Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

blimey, i never realised the full gravyty of the situation
Ahh, good. The sign's been fixed.
Was getting worried we'd stumbled into some kind of points scoring, parental tug-of-love mutual self-loathing contest for a minute!
I've passed this sign frequently. It was there for weeks, disappeared over Xmas and is now back in this new incarnation. Yes, a sad story behind this no doubt...
