I can heartily recommend the ‘Velocity’ Jacket. Best waterproof jacket I’ve ever had (cycling or otherwise) before I crashed in it.

Is this still going on?

At this point is anyone, on either side of the argument, genuinely thinking, “Right, this next post will change all their minds.”?

The overwhelming feeling I get when these videos pop up is that I’m glad I don’t live in London or anywhere that some of you lot drive.

But what time were you hitting Macc Binners? I doubt there’s a lot of traffic there at quarter past seven in the morning.

Disproving the ‘didn’t listen’ accusation brilliantly, there! :wink:

Maybe try checking Google Maps navigation at that time tomorrow morning? It gives an ‘In Current Traffic’ travel time, should give you a ball park idea.

I’ve had the same sensation as a result of loose spokes, didn’t look out of line at a standstill, but very noticeable when rolling.

This one is good and gets bonus points in my eyes for the lyrics being concerned with a bike.

Bump for the evening crowd. Two red bottle holders is the other distinguishing feature.

Fetchez has it, it’s Porthcawl. See first gallery here.

Looks like North Wales is the best bet, I had a feeling that might be the case, scheming on a plan for a two dayer with bivvy/camp so makes sense really. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. :D

Depends if you like wrinklies and a blue rinse?

It’s not exactly what I had in mind!

Thanks for the suggestions, amazingly they’re in the three corners of the country about as far from me as is possible.

Any ideas within half a day’s travel (train ideally) of Manchester/North West?

^^ Tunnelbear is your friend

Is anyone looking into it?

Yes, that bloke at the back of the picture, right of centre. You can make him out if you squint.

or better still, sell it to me

I’ll run it past him, can’t say I’ll try and persuade him though. :wink:

My Dad has got a CX500 kicking about in several boxes, might be time for a father-son collaboration, I reckon.

Bump for the morning crowd, anybody any experience of the online options?

Nobody really exercises ‘for the sake of it’ though, do they?

Everybody gets something out of it, whether it be increase in fitness/weight loss/enjoyment/ whatever. Even the people doing it for vanity, ‘to get the perfect body’ have an aim in mind, are working towards an end.

OP, you need to realise you don’t want to exercise for exercise’s sake, just that your aim isn’t enjoyment any more.

Anything made from eVent material, anything else will get sweaty too quickly IME.

Solo pootle it is then.

Is this still a goer?

Oh good, we’ve politicised the death of Mandela and descended into arguing onto the Internet. Way to go guys.

I don’t expect to make it to that age, but if I do I fully expect to be working for a living, at least until the day I die.

Got back into new music this year, but seemed to go a bit poppy at the same time, so mine would be from:

Arctic Monkeys – AM
Disclosure – Settle
Buck 65 – Sass (all 4 minutes and 27 seconds of it)

There’s a lot I need to catch up on, so could change in the next month.

I could go for this, can get train to Hebden so car will not hold me back this time!

Pwopa norty!

Big article about this in the last issue, or the one before maybe.

I question the decision to leave globalti’s post in place, but it’s not my job to make those decisions. I sincerely hope that he/she has been banned though?

I do. Karrimor ones from Sports Direct. Work fine for me.

I’ve got one. Never ever noticed the ‘problem’ with the resolution. For my uses it’s absolutely perfect, our PC basically never gets turned on now.

If you mean that the rest of us get to decide on whether they leave, I’m all for it. :wink:

Junkyard, thanks for the offer. YHM

For balance, mine (UK) has been fine. I’d read all the reports here and have kept a really close eye on it whilst charging, but the charger hasn’t even got warm, never mind hot/explodey.

Seems to be more than one source for these lights as there’s been a real lack of consistency in people’s experience of the lamp, battery and charger.

I’d still like to come (for the slow pootle) but my car has just given up the ghost for the 3rd time this month. Anyone from Manchester way heading over with room for one? Happy to give petrol money, will be bringing cake and should be able to provide walkie talkies if necessary.

So far I win head size top trumps, 62.5 cm just after a haircut. Currently rocking a Met crossover XL to pleasing effect.

Agree with head shape being important, I’ve had to send mail order jobbies back, size fine in theory but just wouldn’t sit right.

This is surely one of the few threads on here where you can legitimately answer, “Yes, you will die. Quite possibly in a firey ball of death.”

I’ve been seeing more badgers out and about on 2 wheels this year

Bike riding badgers?! Catch them ASAP, you’ll make a fortune!

Not forgetting the work that’s going into the trails surrounding the quarries and the plans for expanding this ‘network’, I see no reason for this not to work.

A cafe and such like is as big a draw for the weekend warriors and Sunday morning escapee dads in my experience.

I wish them all the luck in the world and am also reminded that I need to get over there again.

what was new about the the filming or editing methods?

I’m far from an expert, but it’s something to do with the subject moving within the frame or viewpoint shifting around the subject as at around 2:00 mark.

EDIT: I think.

That looks absolutely fantastic, can I have one please?

I’ll try and come to this, be nice to not be wobbling around on my own at the back for a change!
