    It stripped the paintwork shine from my last bike

    Early Ragley 😀 ?

    Presumably the Allegro’s security system was its lack of appeal?

    I believe Bill Hicks covered this.

    I’ll set it as homework, for the un-initiated.

    Often, with solvents.

    Personally, I’d go straight to an LBS with that. If you break it, you’ll be looking at a needless bill, as it’s probably a warranty issue.

    You can put what you want in it. I usually use hot water too.

    Haha.

    You just bought the box set, perchy?

    I have to say it cost us a lot more than £500, but our Yaris 1.3 is ?15? years old and works as good as new.

    1.0 with VVTi might be findable in budget?

    I’d just like to chip in here and wave the flag for togetherweride.co.uk[/url]

    This site has been set up by my longtime friend, Mike. He’s a guy with a big heart and big ideas (he’s pretty short though, you can’t win ’em all 😉 ), and he’s made a site that allows physical shops to compete against online warehouses.

    In their own words:
    “Together We Ride allows customers to order online and collect from one of the network of independent bike shops. Customers benefit from the convenience of online while still receiving the personal service that can only be provided by an independent specialist. This enables the independent community to answer the increasing online demand for bikes, parts, and accessories without distracting them from the core of their business. Namely: providing unmatched quality of service and expertise directly to the customer.”

    At the moment it’s a London only network, but that is allowing them to roll the service out organically. If the orders come, they will expand the scheme. The bigger the scheme gets, the more you and the shops all benefit. The more you interact with your LBS the better the whole shebang gets.

    I am in no way employed etc by them, I just want to put what I see as a great idea out there.

    Have a look, make up your own minds.

    It would certainly help to counteract this sort of thing, which is sadly becoming more common.

    Is lycra ever justified?

    Can either of you do a no-footer endo?

    What is the best trick you can do on a bike?

    Given your experience of the industry, attendance of trade shows and years of travel for the best MTBing on Earth… what was it that Meatloaf wouldn’t do for love, and, would you do it?

    Some good responses!

    Interesting stuff.

    I’ll try the vague hippy-ism and consider the other input, including a vow of silence 😉

    My £12 Aldi ones do that, but just set them to 95% zoom and it’s fine 🙂

    This is why we can’t have nice things.

    How many women have been on the cover?

    Quite a few from the looks of things.

    Is that the only metric? Are we done now?

    Are you using W10? It’s probably downloading things it thinks you like…. and your DNA profile.

    Yeah, STW does nothing to promote equality and sex-equality ❓

    Sometimes I wonder whether I am from a different planet to some people, and better off for it.

    Does this make it OK?

    How have they integrated a playboy lifestyle into a bike

    Good call dude.

    Another easy tip is empty loo rolls tightly stuffed with hay and a treat in the middle, so they will have to deconstruct it to get to the contents.

    Had to reset my privacy settings after noting a lot of outgoing traffic at idle.

    I also didn’t install Twitter, which has shown up by itself.

    The fear is real.

    EDIT – This helps:

    The worse the farts, the less smelly the poo.

    Artisan beetroot, chocolate and coffee soup for starters with chili and caramel chunks. Served in a very small metal bucket, with chips on a slate.

    Your boss sounds like the kind to tell you it’s rude to drink the lemon flavoured water at a curryhouse. Sheesh, some people….
