    My adult kids know full well that if they have kids then the last person they would ask to babysit would be me. After all, I do have a bike to ride!

    +1 🙂
    First world problem – parents want kids, but don’t want to give up doing what they want to do, and have to look after their own kids. Not a dig at OP, just modern day parents in general 🙂

    Four in 38 years, although I didn’t actually own one for about 18 years of that time.
    Renault 6 (with an 850cc engine -surprisingly fun to drive)
    Sierra
    Mondeo
    Astra (14 years old and given to me)

    A tummy tuck – and an arm tuck and a leg tuck and a bottom tuck and any other fat bit I’ve not mentioned 🙂

    I tried to post a pic, but the page isn’t wide enough…

    I’m fat, and I ride my bike every day – for example, tomorrow I have a 17 mile each way commute. Am I doing it wrong?

    Anything here any good?
    Aha – I spotted a Topeak phone pack attachment in there – whilst the phone pack is very small, I could maybe make something bigger.

    There’s not really room for a frame bag between my (fat 😳 ) legs! And I need something that I can just take off very easily, so it’s a no to a carradice qr too, t’other half has one of those, and I’m always waiting for him to faff with it! I’m not really wanting a saddle bag, as the tent goes on top of the rack, so not a lot of room left.
    Fussy, aren’t I? 😳

    Interesting, but very expensive! However, looking at their website has given me ideas for using clips for attaching something like the Alpkit, thanks.

    I’ve got the Shimano 2300 levers with BB5s – they’re pretty crap despite lots of fiddling! I’d thought of upgrading to the BB7s, but doesn’t sound like they’re much better. Or does it come down to the levers then?

    I presume that was shown on ITV? What else do you expect?

    I had to go to Stoke on Trent for work today – to find there was no work for me to do. 😕

    For anyone in or near South Manchester – have a look in Bittersweet in Chorlton. I can promise you won’t be able to walk out empty handed!

    How many of them died? Must have been a high proportion, riding like that.

    My kids were very rarely ill, but then they weren’t molly-coddled and didn’t live in a germ/dirt-free world, so maybe they built up their immune systems quickly? None of that “if you want a biscuit you must wash your hands” crap here 😀

    I remember I used to love watching the wrestling with my Dad on a Saturday afternoon, but I’m sooo disappointed to now hear it wasn’t real 😥

    Can I humbly suggest you show your appreciation by either becoming a Sustrans supporter or even better by volunteering as a Ranger for your local section of the NCN?

    Too late, I’ve been a Ranger for over ten years – in different places. 😀

    It’s open again? Good oh! It desperately needed something doing to it, it was ridiculously muddy. Must ride up that way again soon.

    A fair question to ask, but I always thought of Noddy as a boy. But then I always thought Andy Pandy was a girl – yes, I know the clue is in the name, but a boy dressed like that??

    The campsite at Hollingworth Lake is quiet at night – I live there in my motorhome for about a year, and the only thing that disturbed me was the dawn chorus – **** noisy tweety birds!
    There is a site at Higher Poynton, next to the Muddywood Middlewood Way for gentle cycling, and I lived on that one for a while too. Edit – very basic facilities at Poynton, unless it’s changed in the last three years.

    Could the puffer nutters not have just reversed that train back on to the rails?

    The real reason most people don’t use the outside lane is cos they know it’s reserved for Audis and BMWs travelling at 90mph.

    Upright cleaners are much quicker and easier, I can’t believe anyone still uses a cylinder type. Any upright will do 😀

    What’s a circlejerk?
    Anyway, what kind of woman is she? Why aren’t her bikes in the dining room too?

    Just over a year since I stopped, and unfortunately I put over two stone on!! But I reckon I’m still healthier than when I was smoking 😀

    You’re not supposed to wash children in it – of course they’ll whine.

    From 2 years experience of an 8oo I’ve used it practically every day including in torrential rain many a time, and it’s still working perfectly. I wouldn’t be without mine 😀

    I don’t think anyone gets the shared space, drivers still think they have priority from what I’ve seen.
