You sound like one of those people who tailgates people driving marginally below the limit, as punishment for making you 1.5 seconds late.

I don’t tailgate

I don’t like people driving slower than is necessary without reason

Like I said in my original post, people seem to think there are two camps, crazed speeding lunatics, or people who drive at 25mph

Surprised by how many people think it’s ok/morally justified/amusing/safe to ‘annoy’ other drivers by deliberately driving below the speed limit.

Unless there are adverse weather conditions or hazards there is no reason to drive 5 or 10 mph under the limit. The limits have been set by the authorities to be a safe driving speed, not some arbitrary figure you just come up with.

People seem to think there are just 2 camps, those who speed with no regard for anyone else, and those who drive safely by going slower than they need to. There are those of us who observe speed limits and want to maintain some flow to traffic and progress safely

Going out of your way to annoy other road users is just odd. Maybe you get bossed around at home or work and need to exert some power another way, whatever it is, it’s hardly safe driving

@lemonysam, I ran out of Zhoug last week

What Merino undershirt for office wear then?

jesus wept.

😀

been fine for me too

Panic attack

Fantastic story, I think I’ve read something about them before

when I win the lottery…

looks great

I’m sure wives all over the country will be talking and complaining through that

I’ve been in a right strange mood lately too

Feeling ratty and tired, lacking motivation etc

Don’t force yourself to ride or try to enjoy cycling

Do something else with your time, maybe something creative

Don’t feel guilty, it’s your time, don’t do something that you’re not enjoying at the moment

That’s what my bike actually looks like

Another advice thread turning into an argument 🙂

I’d say get a Tom Tom

I’ve never had a problem with mine, on the odd occasion I’ve used my phone I have found that it isn’t loud enough and also doesn’t re-route quickly enough

Also I’ve tried the navigation on Google maps and despite the spoken instructions keeping up for some reason the map doesn’t

Trousers

You’re ****ed

I’d get looking for some new ones 🙂

Thinking that other people are jealous is probably the reason that the anti strava brigade exist

Roasting yesterday but by about 10pm the front room was getting cold

half an hour burst of central heating but only in that room

(all the other radiators thermostats are turned down)

I’ve got a woolly hat with ear flaps, because I get chronic ear pain when it’s cold, or even a bit breezy, and normal woolly hats don’t work. I’m not wearing a headband either

If it ruins your day, look somewhere else

Brian Bloodaxe

try posting a pic of your bike/garden on here, that’s abuse 🙂

The RAF site didn’t even have it listed, it just shows the Southport Air Show for yesterday

I just saw this on Facebook

Had no idea that they were flying over today, I did hear about them flying over Holmfirth a few weeks ago

Where are these things advertised?

I’ve missed loads of WW1stuff this year as well. First I usually hear about it is when pics are published or they show something on the news

Looked great, I’d have been there too if I wasn’t living under a rock

Great pic as well. I like how they are both banking at different angles, looks like a proper practice exercise

*truly *appalled

bump

I’ve got toe clips on my road bike too, I like them and they are easy to get out of

Plus you can walk in the shoes

I’ve never been to a trail centre

nothing against it, but all my rides are from my door

although now living in Glossop, there isn’t much riding straight from the door

ok, pootling bike :p

obviously you need the outfit to go with it

😉

nice colour, top tube annoys me though

might be worth posting on lfgss too to see if they can identify it

Usual STW middle class sanctimony

wanting to be able to taste what you eat is middle class? 😉

I’m all for cheap eats, I just don’t get greggs, it’s rank

greggs is dire

I had 2 of their meat and potato pies as I was starving and it was the only place nearby

I’ve no idea how they can make all those ingredients taste of absolutely nothing at all

I ate half of one and threw the other away

shite

Pretty much everything bike related is overpriced

The things that annoy the most are tyres (my toyo proxes car tyres were the same price as most mtb tyres)

Lycra clothing, must cost about a fiver to make tops/bib shorts

Saddles £70-100+ for something mass produced and made mostly from plastic

I know, R&D, wages, distribution, marketing etc…

I’m looking for one that offers insurance too

Bikes worth £650

peppermint oil on cotton buds under the kitchen cupboards seems to have worked for me

bargain booze will be next

it’s the beginning of the end

get your house on the market

I’m also an engineering technician

Lunge, where are you based?

I’ve seen more jobs coming up recently, but a lot seem to be staff jobs

mx5 +1

easy to maintain, parts are cheap, and loads of fun

And there is a reason, avoid straight steerers as it will be very hard to get forks especially if he wants to keep it for a while. the man

They want your money

Keep the jumper

I can’t believe they are asking for it back

It was listed as £0.00, it was bought at that price, picked, shipped, invoiced

They’ve got some neck even asking

However long it takes always seems too long

I think I need a bike butler just to get everything ready for me
