Queen Elizabeth is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. She enters a ward full of patients, and notices that they’re all dressed in street clothes and have no obvious sign of injury or illness. The Queen approaches a patient and greets him. The patient replies: “My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is n...

Hi Mike, in answer to your question what’s the 5% non vegan I’m vegan in everything except on a long ride when the only cake shop we can find is non vegan. Hubby is vegan at home but eats fish or meat when out for a sit down meal. Hope this clarifies for you. Yes you have to have cake on a ride! Mike

Apologies if it has already been mentioned but are the "bottle"dynamos that fitted under the bottom bracket and drove from the topsurface of the tyre still around?

I was disappointed to see a number of England players not wearing/hiding under their jumpers their second prize medals.

Were they the products of public schools or were they from the riff raff side of the game?

There's very little left of the Scottish origins of Halloween, as far as I can tell. It's all American - and ruthless merchandising. So what's happened? H&S wading in, "it's far too dangerous to be giving these kiddies knives" eh? Or is it "kiddies far too busy on their smartphon...

This couple ride a recumbent e tandem but afaicr the rear hub is a Rohloff. https://www.cycleblaze.com/search/?q=Barry+Bartlett Rohloff do have some caveats about chainring/sprocket ratios on their hubs but last time I looked they were the same for tandems and singles. Thorn who seem to have a good ...

I just used a few wraps of the grey duct tape on my Surly LHT pre Thorn Mercury days.

I think I speak for 99.9% of cyclists when I say that I really don't care and am not at all suprised that the Rohloff is tricky to reassemble after being stripped to individual sprockets :roll: Loan me your Alfine 11, I'd like to see how long it'd last on the back of our tandem! +1 Mike Thorn tande...

A large number of people posting on CycleBlaze are riding e bikes and seldom complain about not finding a charging point.

The Crazyguy has a separate ghetto for e bike journals on his site but I don't go there much so i don't what the experience is there.

I think you will require one of those bars that attach to the seat post and the head stem that used to be quite popular when carrying a traditional female step through on a bike beak. Then you put the Thule hook over the accessory bar. I am surprised that this is not mentioned in the Thule instructi...
