If you've followed my occasional ramblings over the past couple of years, you may remember I once embarked on the foolish quest to compose a spreadsheet containing summaries of all the "Bike" episodes, together with some other relevant background information.

PS and I worked together to get the first 1,000 done, then I largely took over until the 1280s whereby my life got busier and I fell behind.

So, is anyone reading this catching up on Bike and are somewhere between episode 1287 and the present? Could you possibly write a couple of sentences summarising the main event(s) of the chapter you've just read and (optionally) find a particularly interesting / humorous quote?

If you're not sure of the format, hop along to the spreadsheet by clicking *this link* then the 1200+ tab at the bottom to see where I got up to.

I've enabled write access to anyone who clicks on the link, but if you have reservations over editing an online document, write them down in a text editor / word processor / whatever and send me a copy when you've got bored / run out of time (either via PM or GMail - same username as here) :) It doesn't matter if you do 2 or 20 - every little helps!

Needless to say, if you have any further queries / questions, comment below or send me a PM. And before anyone asks, if anything untoward happens to it, (a) I have an offline backup copy, (b) I can revert the document to a previously saved version - so you don't need to worry about mucking anything up :)

Oh, and if you're not confident enough to contribute, feel free to take a peek anyway and remind yourself of what happened in the early episodes, when most of the family's birthdays are (Tom, Stella and Simon are unknowns at present, although at least one of the siblings will be turning 30 this coming year), or how many characters have come and gone over the course of the story to date...

In case you missed it a few paragraphs ago, here's *the link*.
