Day 300 : 6th February 2011 Cycling

We are entering the last 300 days...
Sure feels like BSKL through and through...

Less than 500m into the ride, it feels like something has dropped off the bike.
Stopping at the traffic junction 500m later, I cannot locate what is missing.

Bike seems to vibrate quite badly, so 2km later, I was off the bike again...
Everything looks in place. I could not locate the source...

The ride is getting uncomfortable...
Off the bike at Mandai Shell, I gave every part of the bike a good shake...
Nothing seems amiss...

A long rest later, it is time to go home...
The weather is getting unbearably hot and I am not tempted to ride long.
Better to get my stamina back first before I start doing long rides.

Two bus stops later, I had to stop again...
The vibration is getting unnerving...
Send out an SOS and continue checking out the bike...
Ahh.... think I located the source....
The Topeak tool kit in the new bento bag =D
Hmm... was I so focused on not falling down on Friday that I did not notice it?

Stowed the toolkit in my back pocket and the problem seems to disappear immediately.
Still have slight vibration, but definitely bearable...
Am I off the bike for that long that I cannot dunno how it feels to be on the saddle again?
Probably need to send my bike to get an expert to do a once over...

Reached home and was surprised to see the timing...
Distance is the same and the timing is similar =D
No improvement, no decrement =D
