New Computer + More Power!

What a ride home tonight! Dreadful dreadful rain, soaked through, but my bike's performance! I just can't believe it. Riding up Peckham Rye in the heavy rain I actually overtook a fit young guy on his Ridgeback. I mean, I was tailgateing him up the hill and I thought, hmm, how much can I push this, so I upped my pedaling and tried to overtake, and just about made it. I thought, I'd best keep pedaling and I did...ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL!

Clearly my new handle bar stem has made quite a difference to my riding. And it feels better for my back too. Anyway I got home and saw a little package waiting for me. New for 2006 - Cateye Strada. It's like a iPod Nano-esque cycle computer. A fair few more functions than my Sigma 500 (which was broken) and no buttons (just like a Mighty Mouse!), you just rock it to change mode (just like a Mighty Mouse!). Perfect cycle computer for a Mac user, clearly.

Oh and did I say how thin it is? It's THIN!

Thin is so...2006. Really.
