I don't understand why people wouldn't want the superior option of stopping up roads to motors creating instant wide infra for people on bikes, it's massively superior to 'segregated'! Because no one will vote for it while motorists are such an overwhelming majority who will raise large petitions a...

The problem is the authorities will try to enable that congestion to be eased, when really they should leave it to become worse. That way people might see that a car isn't convenient. :wink: This in a nutshell, this is why for me taking away complete roads away from motorists and giving them over t...

I've got a new boxed Sigma 9.16 if it might be of interest, I have mine fitted onto my stem using a band plus sticky pad to the base mount, the one i have fitted on my audax bike doesn't come off despite best attempts to dislodge it after 3-4 bike falling over incidents :roll: I bought a couple for ...

Why bother when the problem is that planners get involved that are clueless and the main issue is that there's the perpetual push for segregated infra which is simply not the solution to increasing cycling on any significant level whilst not improving safety massively also! Already new and highly p...

The levers it's just a name change, internally they are almost identical. I buy a lot of Dura Ace stuff, but normally get the Ultegra levers as the 200 quid price preemie ain't worth it for 30 odd gram weight save. Since when are Ultegra only £60 new? The DAs never sell at RRP, the link shows that ...

Not everyone cycles perhaps because of topography but more than likely because of the dire cycling infrastucture,public transport can be equally as bad. Not everyone especially if they're unwell will be able to do either. Our nearest hospital is 4miles away which I have problem cycling to and from ...

Many hospitals are on the edge of towns and nurses etc work unsocial hours. There is little or no public transport at night and certainly not to rural areas. It isn't safe for women to be cycling alone during the middle of the night. Car sharing is hardly possible with shifts starting and finishing...

Hi, Yeah that stuffs my wild camping, I can just imagine finding a spot late at night And waking up to a gun Shoved in your face :evil: That would be a criminal offence in its own right and lose the gun owner their license, you can't simply start threatening with a gun simply because someone is on ...

spending beyond your means early/running out of money is irresponsible IMO not to mention the potential to be extremely dangerous. Not just that but you are likely to put upon people's kindness when others may need it more. As a Western traveller, a person who is making a LEISURE trip, one that you...

Those big gaps at the bottom end when you're pushing hard or even struggling is where the problems arise when you're transitioning on terrain, the cadence change is significant when you have such a big gap IME. I'm not worried about the higher gears as that rarely changes, it's only when cassettes g...

SMP TRK Saddle, fitted and ridden for a few miles, simply doesn't work for me as too wide, I've still got the retail back card if it's any use. £25 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49142712206_a60e3aa533_b.jpg If the saddle hasn't been sold by January, I'll be interested, but sadly I'm stoney br...
