Cycling UK Forum

NOTE : this is a generic rant with no specific link to the sad loss of life in the specific case of this topic. How about lowering the speed limit ( and enforcing it ) ? Dangerous roads (?) versus drivers proceeding without sufficient caution and anticipation . . . . particularly where a road is per...

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=133109 ( in which a few more Rogen bits of info therein )

A quick search finds nothing lodged in any dusty corners of the forum. Sometimes they just don't make it through for whatever internetty reason. Others have encountered the same and have raised the issue. Not just this forum either. . . . I've just lost 30 points on Duolingo and now have to answer a...

Titles : Your clickbait titles don't fool anyone. Some might find them off-putting / annoying. Presentation : At the very least use appropriate spacing in your text. Nobody is going to read a huge block of endless sentences. There is an EDIT button, which will permit you to correct any of your previ...

Oh yes I can belt that out . . . . . polite warning from 1/4 mile distance.

Is CarlisleMike an historic reference ?? From Carlisle, take a train ( with bicycle ) to Dumfries, then have a really nice ride over to Newton Stewart either on the NCN or any other quiet road that takes your fancy. I'm not sure which buses also take bikes, but they is/was some capability to take bi...

Flushing the engine exhaust gasses through the interior of the vehicle before dumping it into public space might help to focus minds.

Sorry I can't help with the route, but thanks for reminding me of this elite event. I probably need to attend "The Scythe Masterclass" by Simon Fairlie et al. . . . at that festival Ten years after being trained by Simon I've done a fair amount of scything but my endurance is poor = RSI ag...

:wink: This is what is needed. This important symbol is missing. I will be voting for anyone who adopt such a stance : all the rest of the political stuff is just a lot of froth from us self-destructing loonies. Probably time to change the leaders . . . . . . Climate Change impacts "acceleratin...

A specialist outdoor equipment repairer in East Lothian replied :- Hello Graham, Thank you for your enquiry. I’m afraid we would not advise for a refill of your sleeping bag as it is not cost effective. It would end up a similar price to buying a new sleeping bag. We generally only carry out a down ...

As a matter of curiousity I have just weighed my egyptian cotton sleeping bag liner / sheet sleeping bag = 280g.

I also have a Pertex sleeping bag cover = 260g.

The combination of these two^ with the sleeping bag ( 1030g ) provide much flexibility.

Thanks again to all.

I will report back as things progress.
At present, most of the compartments are looking reasonably good = good enough.

It is just the top five in the back & neck area which are unloftable.

Is there anywhere where I can obtain leaflets to inform people of this issue? It makes me so angry. Your intention is good. However, I fear that this would lead you into the "unfavourable reaction" zone. Refs : Radio 4 items - Nigel Havers [ a famous actor, I'm told ] tried speaking to dr...

Thanks all.
I'll try to track down a tumble drier and see how that goes.

Then I'll report back here.

All post-wash manipulation by hand.
I know what I'm trying to achieve, but there is no evidence of improvement.
