A pair of Super Cs bought as slight seconds directly from Carradice' factory. The panniers are not quite identical as there are minor differences in the detailing. One pannier only trialled for fit, the other not used at all. £45 packed and posted.

I understand the urgency behind the Covid vaccination programme, but I am concerned about the lack of information available to those people who might experience an unhelpful response to the vaccine. A number of years ago, and without any warning, I was struck down with inflammatory arthritis. It was...

In a recent thread, someone included in a post a floor plan with a disproportionately large garage as a way of representing the amount of urban space given over to vehicles. I'd like to look at the image again but I can't find it. Could anyone tell me which topic to look under?
Thank you,

I'm planning to spend a few days cycling in Galloway, and I'm having a change from camping. So, has anyone any recent experience of b and b providers in the area? Just for one person, and with secure overnight bike storage as the main requirement. Thanks for any suggestions.

Has anyone any experience with these liners? My current sleeping bag could do with being warmer for comfortable use in Spring and Autumn. As I would prefer to avoid the expense of a new sleeping bag at the present time, I wondered what benefit I might gain from a sleeping bag liner. I must confess, ...

I enjoyed some really good rides from Middleton when I spent a few days there last August. I based my trips around Simon Warren's "Great British Cycle Climbs" books, and included Crawleyside, Peat Fell, Dowgang Hush, and Chapel Fell amongst others. A lot of the roads were much quieter than...

Having forgotten my password, I was sent a new one made up of mix of thirteen randomly selected numbers and upper case letters. How do I now go about converting my new password into one that I have a better chance of remembering?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't watch Dr Who so I haven't seen the episode in question. A few weeks ago though, whilst on a ride in Bowland, I chanced upon a crew which I think was filming for the series. I didn't stop to investigate, but the location was close to Burrholme Bridge, just south of Dunsop Bridge. Anyone who k...

Ossie, Many outdoors people think they're oh-so-green but much of their kit is petrochemical based, and it goes to landfill at the end of its useful life. Some manufacturers try to do better: Paramo, Golite and Big Agnes, for example. If consumers don't ask for better then they'll never get better. ...

I said that I'd like a tent made to good ecological standards. To me, that's a catchall term which embraces all the facets of the manufacturing process: sourcing of raw materials, environmental impact, treatment of workers, arrangements for end-of-life disposal of the item etc.I really don't think I...

As the title suggests, could anyone point me towards a tent made to good ecological standards. I'm looking for a 1-2 man tent for use in conjunction with bikepacking. Apart from reasonably light weight and smallish packed size, I would prefer an outer first assembly style. Thanks for any suggestions...

Has anyone found a "green" way of disposing of worn or damaged tyres? There must be something better than just putting them out with general household waste. I'm sure some people put them to other uses but that's not what I'm asking, I want to find a way to get my discarded tyres into an a...

Does anyone know of a source for narrow bars? I'm fairly slight, and I'd like some 38cm c-to-c by 26mm drops but my searches haven't turned up any with these dimensions. 40cm seems to be the minimum for normal road bars currently.
Thanks for any leads.

I wonder whether anyone has tried to use this route recently. I've read that it has been used by cyclists, but I would be attempting the trip on a loaded tourer. Is that likely to be possible or is it a. mountain bike only undertaking? Thanks for any comments, I'm trying to plan a route from Campbel...

What a bizarre comment from cyclemad! Purely out of interest, I would like to know the age of my E B frame, but it isn't critical. Where's the fault in that? I'm beginning to think it's time I Ieft this forum.
