Andy crashed his bike, again.

Nice 25 mile cycle ride this lunchtime, although it wasn't so good for Andy Perry who crashed on some loose gravel near Ampfield.

He also crashed immediately after restarting when he was in too big a gear, didn't engage his cleats quickly enough and fell off sideways.

He still managed the rest of the ride, averaging 16.1mph, but he has some sore body parts now.

Selling my iPhone

Having aquired an iPhone 4 (yes, it's awesome and no, it hasn't dropped any calls), I wanted to sell my iPhone 3G 16GB.   It was in pretty good condition, having been covered by an InvisibleShield most of the time.

Starting with the MoneySavingExpert article I looked at the various options listed at MobileValuer to see what I could get.

Based on the terms and conditions and the feedback I read Envirofone seemed the best bet.  I chose £158 cash instead of Argos vouchers.  Today, Envirofone is listed as offering the second highest amount of the 10 options. I don't think they were that high when I made my decision.
