This has got to be a wind up right?

what is the arguement for not wearing a helmet, why wouldn’t you

I don’t know but I have this strange feeling its all been discussed once or twice before.

Yes – you get a discount on mail order and in bars, and you get first/exclusive chance to order new stuff. Haven’t made it to an AGM yet.

I only put in the minimum amount, more as a novelty and not any kind of serious investment. It’s kind of nice thinking I helped build the new brewery…

I’ve seen recently Arran Brewery are doing the same thing.

Way over £5m for the lot, by the looks of it: http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20934/%5B/url%5D

£2.9m for the C-type, £2.6m for the D-type, £1.8m for the transporter – if I’m reading that right!

Yes, Inbred and Pompino. And yes the same as all bikes, you always need to fix something/change something/buy another one.

One of many reasons I don’t use a helmet cam, I do stupid stuff like this all the time ranting at drivers, last thing I want is to have to watch/listen to it back :oops:

Also got some of this:

Just thing for a cold evening

Dark Island Reserve is incredible, one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

I’m on Brewdog Old World IPA and Russian Imperial tonight. Both really good.

Interesting reading a bit of the follow up on Twitter with the journalist – he said he wrote it up with a focus on congestion charging and it was edited/headlined to focus on red light jumping – they know it will get people going one way or another and get them loads of web traffic…

So they’ve all done their safe first run to get a score up… how much bigger/madder can they go?

Enjoyed Lacondeguy’s run for speed as well as everything else, McGarry there was incredible though

My money is on Zink, if he doesn’t kill himself.

Just watched his canyon gap crash from last year again, hadn’t seen the helmetcam before. ‘Ouch’ doesn’t do it justice.

indicates its pulling out from its stop

Totally unrealistic scenario. No signal or still signalling left are the only two possibilities.

might be wrong but looked like Gee was really feeling the pressure last week

Singlespeed hardtail covers all bases, equally unsuitable for every kind of riding.

have so many pictures on there which I don’t want to lose.

Had the same issue, used something called pi.pe to move it all across to Dropbox, and shut down my flickr account.

Looks like pi.pe has been taken over by The Man though, and is offline http://blog.pixelpipe.com/%5B/url%5D – I’m sure there are other ways to do the same thing.

I’ve got the same white Pompino frame as that one just up there… makes me sad seeing one look as good (and clean!) as that, mine is in full on theftproof mess mode.

For some reason I’m drawn to one,

That’s just gravity at work.

I cancelled my Pro account and shut the whole thing down a few weeks ago – they kept on making it look and work better.

Found a good site called pi.pe which can transfer all your photos elsewhere (I just stuck them onto Dropbox)

Great move by STW, well done.

The story is amazing, the accent’ even more so.

some good ideas here, they could make the pumps different colours as well I reckon

It’s was a brand new, £100,000 Jaguar XJR.

Are you sure?

My beard grows faster when I’m singlespeeding.

Not in a day but have done it (from Dornoch) with an overnight in Ullapool.

I was on a P7, its a lot of kind of land rover tracks if I remember rightly, nothing technically difficult. The route we did had one river crossing that was just about rideable at the time. Probably no phone signal, definitely no bears!

I assume its ridden regularly… else its just taking up a parking space…

Have had the back wheel line before, and McDonalds thrown at me. And “Chris Hoy!”. And most recently “get a f* cycle ya c*”…. which I couldn’t make any sense of.

What ratio? 36:18 on the Inbred and 44:16 on the Pompino (not for any kind of proper mtb obviously)

Where? Anywhere, until I can’t go any more (like trying to get up an 18% road at the weekend)

How far? Miles and miles.

Bet your lights were flashing, weren’t they !…

When will idiot cyclists learn that flashing bike lights hinder and impede a car drivers ability to judge his distance from you.

I cycle and I drive and I utter detest idiot cyclists who ride at night on flashing lights only.

Ride on flashing lights ONLY, and you get what you deserve !.

One of the most unpleasant things I’ve ever read on here, and that’s saying something.

I tried talking to one in the shop, it didn’t get anything I was saying.

Highway Agency is just England, right?

Xpedo? That’s a real brand name? I’m going to assume its a social experiment based on Gary Glitter setting up a bike parts company.

No.

This any use?

getting money out of energy companies is akin to getting blood from a stone.

I’m with Scottish Power and have ended up in quite a lot of credit a few times. Phoned up ready to rant at them but they just agree to pay the money back, its a cheque I think which is a pain but only took a few days

awesome, crying with laughter here as well :D “auto cucumber” tipped me over the edge

Hills are fine as long as your gearing is ok for them

Its the flat you need to avoid.

:-) very good advice! (36:18 Spinbred here)

I love the sleeper but this made me think a bit:

It costs around £21 million a year to provide the Caledonian Sleeper services, excluding the track access costs.

I can’t see anything in the document about how much they take from ticket money, or passenger numbers on the sleeper though

And I agree the consultation is pretty off putting in format if it is really trying to get a lot of people to respond

7digital works as well

We accept that deaths on the road are inevitable, that over 3000 people are killed each year is unfortunate but it is a price deemed acceptable for the freedom vehicles offer

1850 people in 2010. Still far too many of course.
