Effects of Brexit truly starting to hit now. It’s quite worrying and only going to get worse.

It’s a bump in the road ts it’s not a terminal cancer diagnosis

The roads are full of idiots on racing’s bikes these days instead of them thinking they are doing the Tour de France they can go to work or shops on them
