Interesting! I think that ‘public spaces’, and ‘the greater good’ are always going to be trumped by ‘me, me, me!’ and ‘because I’m worth it’ attitudes! Doesn’t matter what vehicle some are in control of, it just doesn’t compute that they should make adjustments/allowances for anyone else - ever! The...

I hate using traditional chain whips for cassette removal and frequently skin my knuckles. Using one of these https://www.decathlon.com/products/chain-whip-cassette-remover was an eye opener. Recommended if it fits your cassette/cassettes. (Note - link is to US site as UK site temporarily down. The...

What a pointless thread! Somebody very bored?

I’m finding it more and more weird! Actually getting used to the total lack of traffic, and wishing it would continue!

Except for toe clearance...

Ah, that explains why I see people riding with their heels on the pedals and toes and knees pointing outwards!

Succinct and to the point as usual!!

I'm sure no malice intended :wink: I was taken with the fixed gearing in his signature line - 49" really?? Love to watch that descending the hills around here :shock: I’m sure you’re right, I just feel that it’s a shame when someone disses the use of ebikes. From personal experience I’ve found...

Downsid€$: much much more expensive than a real, sorry, ordinary cycle Makes me sick to see fit young people using €bikes at 30 kmh when they could do 20 kmh supplying all the power themselves Ah well, it takes all sorts!

I’ve converted two tourers to lecci, then two full suss mtbs, and we’ve now bought two Scott Axis eride full suss mtbs, they are fantastic. Go for the most expensive that you can afford - you really do ...

Interesting differences! We’ve been amazed at the lack of vehicles on every ride locally!

Interesting times! Out yesterday morning, very few cars - strangely had smiles, waves and thumbs up!

Not me but.. Some people hired €bikes to ride up a small mountain in the Alps They tootled up to the hut quite comfortably and enjoyed lunch there Time to go back down, the track was awfully steep, they were too scared to ride, walked back down The mountain rescue recovered the machines later, for ...

Difficult situation! Rode past a group of youfs with my wife, and all we got was ‘cool bikes mate’!! Can’t complain about that

Well, you certainly live up to your name!

That’s because the railways aren’t roads!
