I’m pretty sure it was The Power himself

A sighting of PTPT anywhere is good, but on a bike, bleeding fantastic.

you sure it wasn’t just some other fat knacker from stokey way?

Next year turn up with a sound system and blast out “Anarchy in the UK” by them punk lads whilst waving your willy at the kids. It should mean you won’t have to attend the subsequent sports days.

Gi’ o’er, as long as t’centrepieces o’ t’tables contains coal, tha should be grand lad. Tha knoz.

the thieving scum who took it

dabble

Bombers?
Shoe/ Urine interface?

Come on, I thought this was standard STW fair for dealing with folk who are are pissing you off.

Looks highly unlikely that would be caused in the post, even if it was dropped straight on that edge. The seller is trying to have your pants down, the lousy get.

is this the one with molly? if it is, I agree.

Why on earth..?

Because in the words of Adam Hills “People are dicks! Now can everyone stop being dicks please.”
Some people just like the sound of their own voice, some people like to re-read their witty and scathing comments over and over and probably have a little sex wee when they do. This is the only reason I can think why anyone would post on a topic knowing it would cause contention. In other words, Trololol.

That is ‘orrible. Looks like something from Silent Hill.

edit: just noticed the “cyclist muncher 3000” on the front end too.

Build a big slide down it.

I am also at a loss as to why not to boil eggs with pasta. I suppose the egg could split leaving you with mildly eggy pasta but if its off in a salad with the egg I don’ see the bother.
I’ve hard boiled eggs in hotel kettles, then had a brew with no ill effects but hot dogs would be a bit rank.

I’ve just done a course at my local technical college. 2 hours every Monday in term time, 6-8pm. You could have a go at all the different welding disciplines and they have all the kit for you to play/ practice with. It was very good, I got my MMA level 1 certificate (that I’ve been doing at work for the past 8 years) and had a go at MIG and TIG, techniques differ somewhat but skills are transferable between the disciplines. I’d definitely recommend it if you have the time and inclination. Although it sounds like you may be after a fast track or intensive course, which do exist although I am clueless as to where you would inquire.

Didn’t work, whoop! 😀
Just spent 4 hours blasting my local trails and also got in a bit of trials practice and stopped by the local outdoor skate park to whizz up n down the ramps before the scooter crews arrived and drop in on you left right and centre, there’s no park etiquette anymore, grr.
Lunch on the go now, shower than the DH from Fort William, then to me mams for a big Sunday tea. Today is a good day.

I’m a sucker for a “dozy looking porker”, no matter what class, they deserve vitriol.

Thanks, that is better.

It’s this kind of self righteous liberal political correctness crap that gets my goat.

Here here

Edit: OP, you more than likely saved that childs life, don’t listen to these dicks.

the cars in front didn’t give the cyclist a huge amount of room, but I noticed that the car behind me pulled out almost as widely as I had.

I’ve noticed this as well, I think the majority of people on the road are sheep and will just follow the car in front, failing to look further down the road to see what actually may be being passed.

I bet they went straight to McDonalds afterwards to give the kid a treat

And what has eating at McDonalds got to do with it? Eh? 👿 ……. 😉

i collected a fly in my eye

actual lolz.

When I drive I try and put myself in the shoes of the cyclist and vice versa

I like your thinking. When I pass a cyclist I think “what if that was me or someone I know?” and equally when I’m riding I don’t want to be in the way and hold people up unduly.

id have put a window through in the car

Maybe a good twatting would show the driver were not all passively going to stand for this behaviour and can get pretty darn peeved at an attempt on our lives. It may make him think twice next time, or he may move over an extra foot and take a cyclist out, in which case no one wins. Except lawyers and people who like to say “I told you so”.

I see an “O” on the board, you’ve got “jog” or “jogs”

Coronation Street’s streets ahead of any other soap. Why? because it is funny. There are some genuinely funny moments. Plus, of course, it is set on the correct side o’t Pennines.

Wrong on both counts. ‘Tis neither funny nor on t’correct side o’t pennines, tha knoz.

Today I picked up from the post office some hope hub spacers for 20mm front and 12mm rear, my new double and bash crank set and my new e13 chain guide. Time to start building a bike 😀

funny

That is a good tree.
No pics and not technically a climb but I walked along a 30 foot tree trunk that was propped at a 45 degree angle after being blown down in a storm. Sat in the top and had my lunch while the bike sat at the foot.

Very nice, and some innovative use of the machine heads, like it a lot. Manipulation of the instrument in a hitherto unforeseen way brings joy to my ears and eyes.

Keighley to skipton (or vice versa) has a bumpy dirt path for a few miles that is horrendously sticky in the wet and can become a quagmire after a few days rain, fortunately it runs next to the bypass road so you could cheat for a couple miles on road then rejoin the canal, it pretty much runs alongside it.

oh, another “shocker” headline. I agree with kevevs.

I try to vault the bars if I see it coming, usually works, but when its unexpected i’ll try to tuck and roll- though my last effort failed and I made a 2 foot skid mark in the mud with the right side of my face. That one stung a bit. I used to skate and bmx when I was younger so learnt how to fall from that, and jumping out of trees, that’s fun too. Next bike ride i’m gonna climb a tree 😀

Beer wine, crisps and friends all set and ready.

Bring it on!

Agreed, I am well looking forward to this season. Reading Danny Harts interview in Dirt, the lad is hunting a world cup win so will be up for it, and Gwinn knows people are coming for him so hes gonna be riding harder. Hope redbull make a good job of coverage, they were fair good last year with it.

I had one of those brownies the other day. Not too bad, a bit dry, did the trick though. Fair tasty too.

May I direct your attention here?

It is, aye, trip to my lbs it is then. Cheers for the reply.

I replace mine when they wear a hole through so the inner tube pokes out. Preferably before you get half a day into riding the Trans Penine Trail.

What we want
1.Proper funding for cycling.
2.Design cycling into Scotland’s roads.
3.Slower speeds where people live, work and play
4.Integrate cycling into local transport strategies
5.Improved road traffic law and enforcement
6.Reduce the risk of HGVs to cyclists and pedestrians
7.A strategic and joined-up programme of road user training
8.Improved statistics supporting decision-making and policy

I think they need to add to that “Sentences for drivers that actually reflect the seriousness of what has happened, ie a death should be treated as manslaughter (at the least) and the sentence handed out should bear relevance to that fact.”

Drivers literally getting away with murder.

Edit- I am a driver, I drive for work, but the driving population need to realise they aren’t the only ones on the road.
