The failure wasnt to only annoying part of the day. City of London has suspended my bike bay, but I didn't realise so I was lumped with a £60 fine. I could start going on that I didnt see the sign because it was dark and I didnt see it, but these things happen, especially when working in a big city. My annoyance was put into perspective on my way home when I passed the scene of an accident when Suzuki Burgman had crashed head on into a white van which was turning right. I've been there and at the time I wish that all I had to worry about was a parking ticket.
I knew it would fail and low and behold the MOT man wasnt exactly happy about the state of the right side of my rear tyre. I was also annoyed that it took him an hour and half longer than he said to have it done. I got there early, gave him my keys and came back 40mins later after sitting in Starbucks talking to the lovely Sarah on the phone. When I got back he hadnt finsihed and was faffing about doing about three other things. I got talking with a really nice man who bought down his 1974 Porsche so the time passed very pleasantly. New tyre ordered, will be here later in the week.

MeMy name is Matt Brown and I'm a UK journalist formerly based in London, but now calling the South of England home. I've been riding bikes since 2007, but got hooked straight away. Nothing gives me the feeling of freedom, even when stuck in a city. In 2010 I became a RoSPA gold rider, but when it comes down to it, I'm Just a normal man, riding his bikes as often as he can.
