    get a frame the ‘right size’ for him remove the cranks and front chainring and let him learn to ‘scoot’ the bike around, this will teach him how to balance the bike when going down slopes etc. Once he has done this put the cranks etc back on and the transition to full riding is usually pretty quick, hope this helps.

    Other than asthetics no reason not too unless you use v high index (the meterial they are made from) they should be easily tintable or transition friendly

    Hate to say it, but shimano shoes just work have a set of the winter boots that must be 10 yrs old now and still going strong

    Shimano XT cranks and front mech with sram cassette and XO rear derailleur and grip shifts here, never misses a beat so i would say compatability not an issue

    All of the above leads me to believe…

    ……some but not all cyclists can be arrogant and inconsiderate to other road users…..

    ……some but not all pedestrians can be arrogant and inconsiderate to other road users…..

    ……some but not all drives can be arrogant and inconsiderate to other road users…..

    bring any two of the above together and it creates a whole load of bollox……

    opinions vary, get over it!!!

    Does it piss off cyclists when motorists pull up at traffic lights really close to the kerb?

    not as much as it does them when you then go round the outside and pull in front of them……

    For any that know it on my way to work today i was coming down Ketley bank in telford (good gradient mucho speed on road tyres) when not one but two guys walk out into the road from opposite side infront of me, not only do these darwin wannabe’s see me as crossing,but the sight of me approaching at fair speed catches them in rabbit form and stops them dead in my carriage way, some how avoided both ( passing between them) and can only shake my head as doing so at the pure stupidity of some pedestrians

    Recently had a problem with network telecom charging for over usage on our ‘unlimited’ business broadband, having had confirmation it was a mistake, while awaiting the corrected bill we received a ‘you haven’t paid your bill if you don’t we will cut you off in 24 hours’ needless to say they are no longer our providers…….

    BTW one of my biggest worries is the speed the above seems to suggest the grp will be travelling at is alot slower than my own solo speed, and I sometimes think it hurts more riding slow off your comfortable pace than at you own pace, so i can see some solo riding and letting others catch up at dinner time or day end

    for those that wanted to know, this is thge route/itinerary

    Day 1 – London to Calais
    Cycling distance – approx. 67 miles
    Our ride from Bexley in southeast London kicks off
    early to avoid the traffic. Within five miles we’re
    cycling on quieter roads and hitting the rolling Kent
    countryside. Today we get off to a great start as we
    find our rhythm cycling in a large group. We cover
    nearly 70 miles to reach the white cliffs of Dover, and
    cycle through historic Rochester. We tackle some
    tough climbs, but there’s plenty of coasting terrain
    to rest our legs. We board an early evening ferry to
    France and arrive in Calais at our hotel charged for
    the next day’s ride.

    Day 2 – Calais to Arras
    Cycling distance – approx. 78 miles
    Following a hearty breakfast, we start cycling
    ‘French style’, remembering to stay on the right.
    Today is the toughest day, both mentally and
    physically, but we can do it! We’ll whizz through
    beautiful French countryside, with views of green
    meadows as far as the eye can see. The roads are
    quiet and we travel through attractive small towns.

    Day 3 – Arras to Compiègne
    Cycling distance – approx. 73 miles
    Today’s ride is a step back into history as we head
    south towards Bapaume, scene of the Battle of
    the Somme. After a delicious Fairtrade lunch next
    to a beautiful lake, we continue south and enjoy a
    well-earned downhill stretch to our overnight stop in
    Compiègne.

    Day 4 – Compiègne to Paris
    Cycling distance – approx. 66 miles
    The final day of our European cycling adventure
    sees us cycle south through stunning forests, and
    it’s not long before we reach the eastern outskirts
    of Paris. We cycle around to the north and proceed
    through small villages and towns. It’s normal to see
    locals waving us on – after all, the famous Tour de
    France ends tomorrow and the atmosphere is sure
    to be electric. The sight of the Eiffel Tower will spur
    us on as we get closer. We stop for the group to
    reassemble and then ride together up the Champs-
    Elysées, round the Arc de Triomphe and down to the
    finish, overlooking the Eiffel Tower. This evening we
    celebrate our achievements with a special dinner.

    Day 5 – Paris to London
    Cycling distance – 0 miles
    After breakfast at our hotel, we are free to enjoy the
    sights and sounds of Paris. Maybe you want to get a
    good space from which to watch the Tour de France
    or simply soak up the atmosphere in one of the
    many cafés – the choice is yours. There will be an
    early evening Eurostar departure from Gare du Nord
    back to St Pancras. Bicycles will be transported back
    to London and participants will then have the choice
    of either collecting their bike from St Pancras or the
    starting point in Bexley.

    really looking forward to it now even after a shitty 18mph headwind with gust of 30+ commute this morning, good job the rain held off, guess that’ll be tonights pleasure 🙂

    Done a few long weekend rides, with a 40 mile round trip commute most days it should be fine, btw think the photo angle makes the seat look worse than it actually is

    Go back and let them have a look, it’s worth taking your old glasses too as the notepads could be a different size/ shape and/or material. With regard to the arms the Nike flexons were designed to ‘grip’ your head (still have 2 pairs myself in blue and bronze) rather than bend over your ear (not sure how your new frame is designed to fit without more details, sometimes it can take 2 or 3 adjustments b4 a patient is happy with the fit, back to the notepads have a look in mirror b4 you go and make sure the pads are sitting flush on your nose/ face and not pressing on any edge(top bottom front or back).

    PM me if you want more info

    The frame is actually an XL but I am tall with V long legs the tilt in saddle allows for the low bar position, it has an adjustable stem so if it get uncomfy I can adjust either or both pump is on the bike all other tools are in the saddle pack (it can be made bigger to carry some trail food bits), must admit I was thinking if using my camel back for drinks but have 2 large bottles if it’s a better option

    Toys tbf I have been through the same process with social workers etc he will have been through to adopt, and make no mistake it is drummed in that the adopted children have the same rights and privileges as birth children, Yes he can write them out of his will, but having signed and received a court order agreeing to look after them until their age of majority with parental responsibility until that age he should man up and look after his kids….

    for the saddle I commute to work every day atm which is a 40 mile round trip with some longer rides on days off etc so thats being well tested, and lke my mtb shoes for convenience (they are very stiff soled compared to some).

    The holder on the bars is for my jesus phone which will be mapping and doing pics etc (currently cobbling together a holder for a small solar cell for extra power)

    and yes I am looking forward to the french roads as the whole country is alot more cycle friendly

    A lot of kitchen cabinets only fix to the wall at the top two corners so theres not really any redundancy

    think you’ll find most have a baton near the bottom too that normally has 2 screws long enough to either get through into brick or extra fittings
