    The Samsung browser looks good. Refresh button there on the screen and search bar at the bottom near your thumb.

    Why Google can’t put a refresh button on the toolbar I don’t know.

    My main problem with musk is that the spacemen look like they are going to a fancy dress party and have had to use a pair of wellies for space boots.

    Spacemen should look **** epic.

    I used to be attacked by a farm dog so I would make sure I had a mouthful of water to spit at it.

    Otherwise stop and make ferocious noises at it.

    I’ve heard that cars cause Chemtrails.

    Their fuel is full of stuff that kills us.
    Khan is trying to set up freedom zones to stop  us getting poisoned but The Man has corrupted the Sheeple so that they want to be diseased and more controllable.

    Exactly.. the public were never sold a ‘crash out’  ‘hard brexit’ – it was always “we’ll stay in the customs union, we’ll do a ‘Norway type deal” etc, etc.

    Which I is why I want starmer  to deliver the brexit “we” voted for.

    Regards cycling , I always go full car driver and say that more people we can get on bikes the shorter MY commute will be. Leave the roads for people like US who need to use cars.

    In the shop e have a tea towel of 60s icons.
    On it you have shitty old cars, trains and push bikes.
    Then you have Concorde and man on the moon. Stuff that’s not old fashioned because they haven’t been bettered .
    Therefore I do struggle with the moon landings purely because it was such a mind boggling thing to happen “all that time ago”.
    Soon we won’t believe Concorde was supersonic either.

    We have nutters outside our shop on Sundays.
    One of them was holding a bit of cardboard moaning about geo engineering . Most of them are still moaning about COVID.
    I’m sure hurricanes will give them something new to focus on.

    On my bike (la pierre) the rack mounts are on the inside of the frame with a shaped indent. Is this detail some sort of standard for a specific rack?

    That was really pleasing to watch.

    The one in Epsom offered silly money ,the one in Banstead a lot more.

    This will probably mean that your valuable time out of circulation will be much reduced.

    Sorry if visiting my terminally ill mum upsets so many people.

    I have a torn ACL. If I don’t have to have a needless procedure I’d like to save the NHS the trouble of doing it.

    We had a proper roadie girl bring her bike into our shop and lean it against one of our display stands. We have a bike stand directly outside our door and a lock for people to use. I offered it to her and she said “no it’s alright”.
    Very bloody odd.

    We’ve been trying to fast for 14 hours which means breakfast at 10am.
    I’m not hungry going to bed , waking up or after my 3 mile walk to the shop.
    At 10 we have oats and fruit which keeps me going easily til lunch.
    When we were away for trade fairs we were having a full English at around 8 and by 10 I was starving.
    Eating makes you hungry

    Really surprised Harris is 10 years younger than me.
    He has no right to moan about feeling old!
    I preferred the League Of Their Own road trips though.

    We need to get the Bonty Mud back. As far as I can see all gravel mud tyres are shit. They could call it the G. Mud and the whole world would rejoice.

    It’s light,it’s fast and goes up tubeless a doddle. The most perfect tyre ever made.

    Are the non pedal delivery bikes supplied by their “employers”. If so deliveroo must be due a huge court case when the next person gets hurt.

    I had Surly Ednas and they still went sideways in mud.

    It was from slow ,I actually had a road PB on it. The wheels seemed to have a flywheel effect , where if you got puffed and stopped pedalling the wheels would have enough momentum to let you catch your breath.

    It’s an e-bike. I can fix most things on a normal bike. If the motor is shagged or the battery only lasts for 10 miles I’d like a bit of protection, hence a bit of PayPal backup.

    Previous “excellent condition bikes”on eBay have been far from what was advertised. Hence ,I’d like to see what I’m buying before I spend my money.

    Yes I am an ideal buyer.

    Location. I used to cycle through a dip on my way to work.
    In winter it was like jumping into the sea the  bottom was bloody freezing. Always felt sorry for the people living there.

    I know open plan is all the rage but just think about heating that space. We put a wall back up so that we knew we could have at least one room super snug .

    find I can get a good cardio workout on the Ebike, it’s the legs that don’t get worked enough.

    Even riding a 25kg bike at just 12% assist, I’m not working my legs the way I would on a normal bike and it tells

    Ride with someone whose bike cuts out a fraction after yours. Pedalling a 50 lb bike trying to keep up with an e-bike gives you all the work out you’ll ever need!

    Sui ,that looks perfect. I’ve got a buggered knee which has led to me having a much weaker leg.
    The poorly leg needs strengthening but I don’t know how to do it with a buggered knee.

    Magoos mate. Can you give us a step by step of what needs doing?
    I shall have a go on my summer breaks.

    Hopefully my winter bike brakes are ok.
