Some people...

My thoughts last night were dark and brooding...

I'd had a good ride into work (22 miles) in the morning. Decided to catch the train home, had a leisurely ride to the station (ok ok I went flat out). tucked the bike away and sat down.

Collected bike, got off at my station, started to pull away.... and twang twang twang twang.... eh?

oh super fantastic.

At some point on the journey someone had either kicked or stomped on the rear wheel and snapped a spoke and bent the rim.

sigh.

That's terrible

That happened to a mate of mine a few years ago when he left his mountain bike in a guard's van

I just cant understand why anyone would do that !!

I spose its the same types that scratch cars, daub grafitti, and upend litter bins.....just random morons

Can't take bikes on my trains but the way people move about when they commute they were probably just shoving through (because they are always more important than anyone else) and sending anyone/thing else flying.

It's like a military charge getting on and off my trains - elbows out head down chucking pregnant women to the side all to squeeze in to the carriage . I can't be arsed myself and just wait for the next train.

For your safety and security, CCTV cameras are in operation on all services.

This is criminal damage - I'd get the train company to review the footage and identify the miscreant, damn his/her eyes

You sure the spoke didn't just break on its own? When my old Open Pro wheels were getting towards the end of their life they were popping a spoke every few hundred miles, and sometimes I didn't notice it'd happened until the next ride.

[quote="adrian"]You may say that - but I'm not the only one
