Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome.
He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable.
Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles.
He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds.
He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

Is it OK on carbon frames?
Yes it is ideal
Wow thats really going to put off professional bike thieves..
How many bikes are pinched by pros and how many by little opportunistic scroats? (I don’t know, just asking).
I’ve always datagged my PTWs and will continue to data tag my pushbikes. See too many posts about ‘police reclaimed’ machines asking if anyone’s knows their owner.
If my bike is nicked at least I know I’ve done all I can to make it easy to be returned, nowt wrong with that is there?
Hey if it helps you sleep at night you go for it.
Looks to be a great idea, but only free to new subscribers eh?
