At lunchtime I'm going to take it over to Drakes and get it fettled. Check the front wheel out thoroughly: I won't be surprised if it's a bit buckled, but hopefully not too badly to need replacing. Check the gears out thoroughly and probably replace the rear derailleur. Thinking about maybe getting them to put a slightly longer seatpost on it too while it's there: it's an upgrade I've been meaning to do for a while, and it would be good incentive to make sure I don't stop riding. And just a general check out all over for any unseen damage. Plus new plastic grips for the handlebars since I've rather managled the end of the left one.
