Just been riding my new bike round the house (before the tyres get mud on them). Went pretty well but I’ve put a dent in a door frame, and given the dog a bit of a scare. 😈

Last time I broke a lamp, but I think that was because it was a CX bike with no disc brakes.

Fall off and scratch it first ride – it’s the law!

I tend to ride it up and down my street 3 times then claim it’s the best bike I’ve ever ridden and that I can tell already that it’s going to be the bike that ups my riding ability.

tuck it up in bed and then send a pic of it to the Mrs

Take it apart then put off putting it back together by shopping for upgrades.

Don’t ride it for at least a week and keep it in the lounge, looking at it lots. Then scratch it

Start thinking about the next one…

I think tucking it up in the bed may get me into more trouble than it’s worth 8)

Hit with a hammer and scratch it…….get it out the way early.

Yorlin as long as you don’t get it into ‘trouble’any wrath will probably pass eventually.

change the saddle, stem, bars and tyres…which is why i hardly ever buy a complete bike

Start thinking about the next one…

^^ this!

Dog eggs

Change the seatpost for a wrong size one and shim it.

Leave it in the house several days longer than is strictly necessary. Post pictures here. Receive lawn advice.

Yep done that on pretty much all mine

I make a nice little quiet corner in the garage…then hide the bike from the wife and then nip out every so often to take a peek until ride day. 😳
