i've been talking with spski about my bike, the strange noise eminating from it (i'm fed up with not using a word just because i can't spell it - and i'm too tired to find out how this word is truly spelt)... he thinks a ballbearing might have come out... it turns out that my gear system (which doesn't get used) is a sturmey-archer hub...
after checking a website he told me about i've found that my sturmey-archer hub is a little younger than me, made in october of 1976, just a little older than my fender rhodes piano which was made in 79, can't remember the month now but it's stamped on the main inside bit in exactly the same way the stamp is on my hub... pleasing piece of knowledge...
spski also tells me there is a bike shop that specialises in hub gear systems, somewhere around notting hill, it would be good to lavish some care and attention on the gears... particularly as it's started complaining to me every now and again...
i went out today without my bicycle lights, only working for an hour or so as i was today, finishing @ midday... after work i did some extra stuff, tutorials with my students, then made my way over to the river to pootle along for awhile,
i stopped in @ the NFT to use their loo and as i was coming out i noticed that double indemnity had just started, 5 minutes in and i didn't even have a ticket yet, so i left it, thinking idly that i might catch a film in town...
cycled into leicester square and the constant gardener had also just started, i missed three minutes or so i think... really enjoyed it, found it curiously moving and also vibrant, city of god director did it...
anyway midway through the film i realised it would be dark when i got out of the cinema, no lights with me, foolish, perilous journey home therefore...
not that anything happened to me, just got caught by the shortness of the light,
