Have you looked at the options in Decathlon?

yes, Bear Bones

I also keep my work shoes at work. Although not in trhe same league as forgetting your work trousers (which will happen), a day in the office wearing SPDs is a pain. Less weight too

PX charge you a 10% ‘admin fee’ to use a cycle to work voucher. Shame, stopped me from getting a bike from them on it

Cheaper, and removes and closes links

I’ve not done it yet but posted two links here. I’ve a one-dayer route planned based on these that is 126m to/from Edinburgh

A suggestion was that the coast route is a no-go with a bike

I did. Probably biggest turn out yet. Glad they reverted to properly closing the road rather than the staggered groups of last year. What a joy to pootle down the Royal Mile unhindered, would be bliss if urban cycling was always like that [/hippy]

scotroutes route is a fav of mine.

Else try the back roads out of Edinburgh > Peebles > Inners > Edinburgh, about 65 miles on quiet roads

sale here suggest the ascent 700. I’ve that and the 500

Ragley Stubbing stem has a low stack height (30mm)

MX very, very occasionally stumbles but I’ve just changed the settings and all has worked fine

I’ve that O-O / PX one. Seems good so far, and cheap

It isn’t uncommun for MIU to be attached to A&E – you will be triaged on arrival. But check first that there is an MIU else I’d be back to the GP asking for an appointment that day as they will have slots for such occurrences (need to be seen that day but not an emergency)

If it isn’t an emergency then do not go to A&E. Is there a Minor Injuries Unit?

Bolle Contour. £6 Amazon or ebay. Very impressive with em

I’m glad another thread has started on this

Debenhams is the cheapest for exchanging money. There is a money saving expert link which also gets you a free £5 voucher to spend on that day

altura semi dry (think that is what they are called) are discontinued but still available in a few places/sizes

Gform. Not sure how they are too much at about 5mm thick and flexible

Thank you very much. I’ve the TalkyToaster ones but will give these a try too

The pad in the wiggle ones is decent

Lucky you.

Afraid not ridden it so absolutely no idea, but I have got my eye on the coast and castles rnorth route

Same goes for here

Ive only ridden to Burntisland and back along that route and it wasnt too inspiring

I’d prefer the other way – coastal path joining John Muir Way and along to Berwick Upon Tweed. Although I prefer a loop rather than the train, so I’d actually go Edin, Musselburgh, Haddington, Whiteadder Reservoir, loop back to Gifford, Pencaitland, Edin – quiet roads and some hills to bag

Deore. £63 a pair

Shirley they are kinda similar – keep the one that you like riding the mostest?

Which control? Placebo control or no treatment control?

If you set up an experiment with Homeopathy, placebo and a no treatment control group, then its been well proven that the results for the placebo and homeopathy will be pretty much identical – the problem for your argument is of course that in most cases those outcomes *are* both statistically better than the no treatment group, often by a pretty large margin!

Therefore your argument that “it is having no effect” isn’t a scientific viewpoint, it’s emotional, non?

I suspect that you are misunderstanding scientific method.

In your proposed experiement, placebo and homeopathy are confounded in the ‘homeopathy’ group.

The ‘homeopathy’ group is essentially a second placebo group: any impact of homeopathy relative to the ‘no intervention’ group is due to it being a type of placebo rather than the action of homeopathy.

Statistically, all the experiment shows if that two different types of placedo are more effective than doing nothing.

Is it likely that any water molecule has at some point in existence come in contact with many other molecules? Shouldn’t a glass of council pop thus retain the memory of countless molecules and be effective at curing all aliments?

£1000 would cost me £680. Plus £250 buy at end. But because I want the P-X carbon cross bike, also add £100 admin fee.

= £1030 sad face

c2w sucks. The retailer looses 10% of the sale to the scheme,

Not if you are P-X, who helpfully pass it on directly to the ‘customer’ at the point of the ‘hire’

Was hoping for an advert for a singles ride. Scuttles off…

Last week received a bulletin at work for the scheme – pay a flat fee of £250 at the end of your 12m lease and the bike is yours.

7% instead sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Stop your greetin’

Get Bolle Contour a few days ago for the first time – very impressed, first glasses that don’t steam

there was a short thread on here a few days ago with some links

In a 1/2 pint glass, just under 1/4 pint each of cola and lager plus amaretto in a shot glass depth charged = Dr Pepper

How many crashes?!

Seven pairs of £7.20 gloves should see me right

There are hot drink-making facilities downstairs. And a price list

road.cc article
“If you were hoping that Shimano would roll their Di2 technology down from Dura-Ace and Ultegra to 105, sorry, but that’s not happening – not for the time being, at least. Electronic shifting will doubtless filter further down the road groupset hierarchy at some stage, but not yet.”

I will be 40 in two months but don’t need another bike. Everything equal, ‘experiences’ last longer than ‘things’*, so I am going on a skills course.

*Of course, this doesn’t necessarilry hold true if the thing is a beautiful, bespoke frame that will last you the rest of your lifetime.
I’m not really helping, am I?

Went Sat – the carbon XLS keeps winking at me.

Had their new 360-branded clothes, hardly any accessories, aside from saddles hardly any components, one of every bike in the PX/OO range (which in OO terms means one fatty, one inbred, one scandle) built up but no other brands that they stock, LOTS of staff wearing bright blue PX tops
