    Mine is looking down when I get “air” to see how high I’m off the ground…

    No matter how hard I try I keep doing it!

    Falling off. It’s a painfully bad habit to have, and i can’t seem to stop.

    Refusing +1, then backing up going for it and crashing.

    I blame it on the weather.

    My default cornering is terrible. Flat pedals and lazy hips. Only do it correctly when concentrating.

    +1 Looking down while jumping but only on the smaller jumps thank goodness. Big jumps have me staring wide eyed and straight ahead with fear.

    Letting my Camelbak go strange colours. Said to myself I’d sort it after today’s ride, I still haven’t. Must do it now.

    Hunching up my shoulders. Don’t know why I do it. Wide bars have helped a little though.

    Spending stupid amounts of cash on the one bike and then wondering why I am skint… Ah well. Oh, and not looking where I am going enough.

    Apart form smoking and buying whole bikes, as Orangista. And singing really badly.

    I’m caught in a rut,
    I can’t get out eee oooo eee ooo eee
    I’m going too fast baby.

    Why can’t you see,
    What’ll happen to me,
    When I hit the side.

    I can’t go on like this
    In a flipping rut…

    I’m sure you get the picture. I’m a mess!

    I do the singing too, but just in my head, keeps my mind busy and helps me not think about the pain I’m enduring.

    Supergrass ‘Moving’ is one of the usual ones in my head….

    Unnecessary tyre purchases.

    Obsessive bike cleaning.

    Pie addiction.

    Singing out loud: Rock Island Line today – kept me going for ages, that one.
