Was a pleasant journey. Very comfortable and relaxing. No cinemas, shows or other stuff though, being no frills version, only a small shop, a bar, a cafe (only open in morning to 10am) and restaurant that only opens at mealtimes. That is it. Lots of reading and watching dolphins on approach to Santa...

Posting this from Portsmouth to Santander ferry. Getting on was not an easy process, and certainly not cheap- £580 for 2 return with a bike each, and cabin as is required (rules) being a long crossing. No foot pax on this route, and a very basic service on board, being the 'no frills' service (but '...

Thanks for the replies, 9494arnold. I'll keep looking for a longer term solution, but for now, I got some needle files and with a bit of careful attention to the stud thread, and picking at the old nut thread, I managed to get the one nut on nice and securely. The other (drive side) is less vital as...

Thanks Brucey, A colleague has a set of VC so I'll give those a go when I get a chance. Spoke to Pashley a while back and they were pretty much useless- apparently they keep no records/information on models from not so far back; lady didn't even know how to explain where the model info came from, II...

Over a month amd no replies... Either nobody knows, nobody understands my wittering or my walking into the wilderness has put me out of earshot. Still trying to solve this. Was suggested locally the thread could be BS Cycle, and as such nobody around here (S Hants now) seems to be able to help. Anyo...

Hola folks, I've been getting a pair'o Pashley Picadors (how I love a bit o'allit(eration)) sorted for use, and run into a stumble on the final furlong (is that a mixed metaphor, or simply confused/ing?). These are from maybe the 70s or 80s; cottered cranks (when bought; now SqT), round tubes with n...

We're never allowed to forget that there are crap cyclists, are we? Almost every media discussion about cycling contains a naughty-cyclist element. True, but this is a cycling forum, and to bitch about motorists all the time is fine, but there's an element of hypocrisy if we don't keep our own hous...

So, as cyclists, we should all stop whinging about car users unless we accept that there are those amongst us just as bad, after all, most of us also drive, so if you're happy to dazzle on a bike, are you any better in a car? No, we shouldn't stop pushing for motorists to stop being anti-social/ill...

Oooh, dazzly headlights are a horrible thing. :evil: Last night I drove to Blackpool and back in the dark and occasionally heavy rain, and I was getting maddened by all the poorly aligned (squinting) headlights, headlights being left on full beam, HID (?) beams that are generally too bright, even di...

Those who are on the legal pharmaceutical drugs could be just as dangerous and possibly more numerous than those on the illegal drugs. Just as tired drivers are possibly a greater threat than drunk drivers. The figures say more about detection than danger. ... :? Kill someone with a handgun (illega...

But as others have said, phones can get broken. ... I doubt it. There was a ride recently on which someone died. :( The person who found him tried to find some medical and/or next of kin details on his phone, but couldn't, and neither coud the ambulance crew. ... It is not obligatory that you enter...

OK, so I am amazed folk don't carry bank cards. So... What about bike registration (as in for theft protection purposes, using frame number, not as in visible identification for grumpy gits to use to vent ire)? Don't folk register their valued machines? Though I must confess I haven't updated our's ...

Thanks

Are you interested, or was this provocative rhetoric? Last visited the site 3 minutes after joining... And disappeared immediately after posting this.

Perhaps some background to the question so we can be more focused?

Do folk really ride without a debit or visa or credit card?

Name printed on front. Bank would surely put emergency services in touch.

People are learning. Good good.

p.s. Alternators are poo.
