I headed to district 2 today with my new bike, and spent a bit more time practicing starting, stopping, going round corners, and ding some more figure eights.
I was pretty nervous in all the traffic getting to and from there, however it was much easier being part of the flow, than it was to cross the street!
I got back to the hostel, and the staff advised me that there had been oil drops under the bike in the morning before they moved it out of the hostel, so I contacted Long and he took the bike back to be resealed.
He advised me that the gromit for the oild tank had been replaced, and that it should all be ok now.
