I used to have a cheap £30 quid pair of lights. They were fine until they well apart going “uphill” on a rough climb! I think durability is a large thing you pay for when getting good lights.

Timberland.

Presidents of the united states of america.

Millions of Peaches :D

That’s nothing, they cose way more over here in Ireland.

The graveyard of ambition as they say! I loved my few years in uni there, wouldn’t want to live there though. Too many chavs and yobs.

Afan isn’t far away to cycle to though, we went there a lot.

Deffo the helmet.

Good Indian summer going on here in Ireland at the mo!

SealSkinz are good. They do feel a bit like heavy sponges once they DO eventually get water in them though (by seeping in the top) .

Whites Level definately. The Wall seems a bit old and dated to me. Been a while since I’ve done WL though, a few years like.

A cheap one from some place like tesco will be fine if you’re just splashing about. A close fit is the most important thing. Also thickness.. look for at least 3mm.

Haven’t ridden either, I’d prefer to own a rush though.

I like Keith in this scene lol.

” Cuz fanny means your arse over there, NOT your minge” :-)

All the awkwardness in the office is whats funny about it really. I didn’t like it when i first watched it but loved it after a while. It grows on you i suppose.

Wow that was a good race. Lots of attacking and break aways, SOOOO much better than the female elite race, which was only really a three lap race with everyone hanging about. :|

Why don’t the women attack more??????

I’d go for a SRAM red win one. Lovely cassette, cheaper too i think.

I like it.

I have hypnotise “or whatever its called” which i used to love.

Yeah i love the office and i think his stand up stuff is hilarious as well.

YES!!!!

They’re all things I’d love to do, can’t believe he bottled the bungie jump.. and that land jump he did was just pathetic. I’ve dropped from higher on my bike.

It is funny but also frustrating that he’s SUCH a closed minded tool bag.

Whats the point in trying to keep part of your legs dry, just wear lycra or cheap baggies and get wet. Keeping your core dry is the most important.

Just do whatever works best for you, theres no one way of doing it. Unless this will be your longest ride?

The price is as 10,000,000 now.

mtbr.

But the five and the alpine have both reinforced my views that oranges are shite.

I guess some people just don’t like single pivot bikes then…..

Orange Patriot (old one) – yuck

What year patriot did you try out? I loved the ones i tested in 06 and 07, a bit annoyed i bought a Coiler over it now.

It’s called Kinesio tape. Comes in a few different colours and strengths. You need to cut in up to shape it around a shoulder, knee etc.

Link for it here.

:lol:

Aim for a 24 solo if you want to step it up a bit after Kielder. Make sure you chose the event wisely though, some of the courses are mind numbingly boring.

Nice bunch of drift-wood there in the background. What beach is that?

Makes for funny conversations and looks in the office…

Suppose theres that side of it :-) .

Who the hell would buy a bike called a Prince Albert :lol: :lol: .

Haven’t been able to try many bikes as I’m one of the only people I know that uses Time pedals, but the Trek Remedy wasn’t very nice I thought.

What a load of cods wallop.

Well i don’t really care if the dad is wearing a helmet or not but for goodness sake put one on the child!!

:twisted:

I have a Coleman Bambusa and love it! Never been really cold in it. It’s supposed to handle -10 degrees c, only been in about 5c with it though.

Pass the parcel (might need two groups though)..

Pin the tail on the donkey.

Looks like a typical roadie build to me.

Funny combo though.

There are less obvious factors as well. There is evidence to suggest not only that (for whatever reason, and the cause/effect may go either way) unhelmeted riders may be less likely to have an accident, but – perhaps more significantly – that motorists are more likely to give unhelmeted riders more room, thus reducing the likelihood of an accident

I did read a study about that a while back. Seems slightly bizare in a way think, the car driver mindset of “he’s wearing lycra and helmet so must be a good cyclist, he won’t mind if i brush past him and nearly knock him off then”..

Didn’t know this topic had been done mucgh before which it sounds like it has going by the responses! It just got to me when i saw it.. the child doesn’t have a choice.

Flats lol.

I like the mini scooter stunt lol.

Tony Martin
Fabian Cancellara

My money would be on these two.

Can anyone remember who the guy was with the bars that had dropped right down and were nearly touching the front wheel?

That’s ridiculous!

Give halloween a chance first.
