Mr Felt - a wheely well travelled bike

Mr Felt is having a bit of a mixed time of it. He's getting to go out and do exciting things like, er, well go for bike rides! Up hills, down (some) hills, into the wind, out of the wind...the rest of the time he has a nice lie down in the beetle and recharges his cranks for the next outing. He's been everywhere with julie - several times to Australia, Singapore and the UK, he went to China and Brazil, he went to Malaysia, the USA, Cyprus. He's been to more countries and on more planes than a lot of people have! So he considers himself pretty special. He IS pretty special. So he was a little perturbed lately when he went to the bike shop for a fixing of what he thought was a minor problem and then gets told he needs replacing with a younger model!! He was a bit sulky for a few days - stuffed his brake pads in his ears and put his pedals up, refusing to come out of the beetle. But then pulled himself together and is currently proving himself up to any road put in front of his wheels. His opinion is that it's his rider that needs improving, not him! Go mr Felt!
