The very same thing happened to me today – a couple of weeks since the service (inc new BB) and the crank came off (my road/commute bike)

I’ll go into the shop tomorrow and see what they say.

Can we add in parking as well? Not as dangerous, or a different kind of dangerous, but on my street (wide enough for parking on one side, about half of houses have driveways) lots of people park slightly/halfway/fully across the pavement.

I can usually squeeze by on foot but not everyone can. I think it’s a symptom of the same problem as texting while driving etc.

What a pavlova baklava palaver about a pudding.

A “free” version of premiere will be easily available on the internet and should sort you out.

Just for avoidance of doubt, does this mean pirated/stolen?

Must remember that I can’t have an opinion on how anything looks as I don’t work as a graphic designer.

Similarly I will stop having opinions about food as I don’t have forty years experience in a kitchen.

He left THAT in communal bikeshed?

Sometimes I even take my bike *outside* – I’m just asking for it to be stolen really…

There’s also a cycle path all the way out from town, definitely the best way to get away at the end of the day (downhill) …

On a mission to meat his maker.

Weather pretty boring in Glasgow but everyone seemed to be driving/cycling with eyes closed. Police car (no lights/siren) through a red light was probably the highlight.

How does he smell?

Some impressive stats in here…

Mine: 2775km, 25000m elevation

Probably another 1000km commuting not recorded.

Think I’ll set myself a target for next year, maybe 5000km…

Do I just like the pt cruser for the looks?

If you do, I’m not sure your eyesight is good enough for you to be driving.

What’s the ultimate STW thread title?

“PSA: Have we done somethingtrackworld internet-ists yet? (What fatbike tyre for Audi content)”

I’m a cheapskate so I bought a Halfords (Carrera) one for £300.

It’s pretty good mainly, but it folds down to the size of a house.

Never.

Lots of road rage stories on here, I’ve cycled to work every day for years, get cut up etc all the time, but never got into a fight about it.

I must be doing something wrong…

If it’s UK it’s hard to get too far from a cafe

Some parts of the UK maybe…

Driving skills have improved

Have they? I think I’ve missed that.

Usual question – what’s the commute like, distance, surface etc.?

From the vague description I’ve got absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but I’m fairly sure “very punchable” isn’t a good thing to be thinking about anyone.

There’s something about the “artist’s impression” for this one…

i love the twitter feed where its like its a real person ……….

Yep enjoying that too, it’s been done really well:

Philae Lander @Philae2014
.@ESA_Rosetta I’m feeling a bit tired, did you get all my data? I might take a nap… #CometLanding

I was going to suggest Bellahouston.

I’m sure there used to be an outdoor gym next to Glasgow Airport, the other side from Renfrew, S end of Barnsford Road. Not sure if it’s still there.

after a 90 hour week… Tired people… working late at a weekend and not getting to ride bikes.

In two minds on this. One one hand when i screw up at work (often) I get no sympathy from customers by saying “but I’m working ever so hard…”

On the other hand, I never buy the magazine and I use the forum for free.

The amount of times I’ve seen drunk people fall over in the street and bang their heads…

etc etc etc

What the Civic estate looks like

Way way down the article:

further six amending budgets on the table in Brussels, some of which may entail returning funds to Britain, meaning the overall bill could yet be cut.

Trust this will still be an outrageous disgrace if we end up getting money back

any wives keen sewers

What about any women who read STW themselves? Or men who are keen sewers?

Dear Officer,

I’m sorry that irresponsible driving like mine leads you to have to put yourself in danger in the course of your work.

Thank you for your service, this has taught me an important lesson.

Yours etc.

On the way to work last December, should have just stayed at home. Thought I had made it safely to the shelter of the city centre, then a gap between buildings did for me.

Looks good on my phone, just the right size/scale for it.

What’s the opposite of Yes?
What’s “on” backwards?
Do you not want to not answering this question negatively?

Have done various bits of it, but not all in one go. As the description says there are some hills – I’ve only ridden them loaded with touring bags so maybe they’re not too bad.

Double check the ferry timetables as they’re not the same through the winter (end of Oct until April I think).

This is the Arran bit: http://app.strava.com/activities/129059070

This if true might make people think about helmet mounted camera`s in many sports .

Stray apostrophes kill hundreds of people every year.

if the students lived on their own, the cost of taking away their trash (etc) would be shared out among all the other tax payers in the borough. As it is, they cost is borne just by my daughter and friend.

Yeah… no.

The other image on the Jones site looks a lot better less worse

What examples are there of the BBC misleading people or even being impartial? Just printing articles you don’t like or don’t agree with don’t count. I am looking for actual examples. From my reading of the BBC coverage (and listening to R4) it does have a bias, and that is towards the Yes campaign!

I think they’ve got a tough job and I’m not sure if there’s any deliberate bias or not.

The Nick Robinson/Alex Salmond edit didn’t look great for the BBC but not sure how it ended up the way it did.

A lot of people in Glasgow at the weekend were wound up by the report on the news on Saturday. It was balanced in that it presented Yes and No stuff from around Scotland, but it homed in on “the No campaign out in force in Glasgow city centre” and completely ignored the really huge Yes presence that was out as well.

Magnificent bit of quoting there.

Edit – actually the real genius is creating a spoiler thread with absolutely no worthwhile content!

Job done.

hell I hope we have the balls here in the rUK to stick it to them and make it as difficult as possible…
Very divisive the whole affair has been

Amazing it has been divisive with a fantastic attitude like that!

Perhaps we could give a vote to anyone who likes to go on holiday here. Or anyone who might go on holiday here one day. Also whisky drinkers around the world. And Runrig fans.
