It was a bit of a shock at the time. Luckily I had hooked up the new light last night. This meant that the power cable from the light caught the unit, otherwise it would have fallen to the ground. I had to stop. I removed all the bits and put it into the rack bag and continued on my way. I sorely missed the mirrors while riding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/4526219077\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4431\" title=\"Swinggrip_gt3\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Swinggrip_gt3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!--more-->We rode back to Marrickville and I took a picture of Gi on his fancy new carbon bike. It really looks very good.

I normally go to cell bikes, but I ended up at Stanmore Bikes. I had always though that they were the same place. Stanmore bikes is an old style bike shop and I instantly liked the man who works there. I got a replacement part for the broken one, a new little flashy white light for the front to replace the one the broke last week and a new rack with a few cm more clearance to replace the greenspeed one. The latter will require a special mounting bracket to make it fit on the trike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/4527411254\/sizes\/o\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4433\" title=\"Swinggrip_20100417_2010-04-17 at 10-31-08\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/Swinggrip_20100417_2010-04-17-at-10-31-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was riding around centennial park this morning and the swing grip bar I use broke due to metal fatigue.[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[542,2309,3562],"class_list":["post-4430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gt3","tag-broken","tag-metal-fatigue","tag-swing-grip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4430"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wp\/old\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
