They pay about 0.15% in tax too. 1.2M on 800m profits.

Am I correct in thinking that he would have passed a CRB check right up to his dying day?

More sensationalist rubbish, Savile has a long way to go to be worse than this man:

Is it a Giro? If so you do know they offer a replacement cheaper?

It often means the website admin needs to buy a new certificate. This is only really used to prove they are who they say they are.

Cycling itself is very safe, as safe as you are on a bike. But I suspect you mean, how safe are motor vehicle drivers on our roads? I would say it varies.

You can probably gauge which roads you will want to be on by knowing what they are like in a car (assuming you drive at the moment). If they are generally fast roads with poor visibility and where overtaking a bike is difficult then it's probably one to avoid.

Cycling statistics suggest it is safer to cycle than drive, but cyclists are outnumbered quite considerably.

I have a variety of routes I use and I avoid cycling on the road as much as I can now. I just don't trust the idiots we have on our roads with my safety. There's too many people on phones, texting, messing with Tomtom and daydreaming.

"Travel: Bus fares have doubled since the late 1990s which when combined with cuts to public transport, means families with children now deem a car as an essential item"

Whatever next?

What about those who are unable to drive due to disability or health?

So yes, it's not an automatic way of getting someone convicted. But in the event of an accident it is used as a way of attributing liability.

Point if you get knocked down and you weren't obeying a highway code recommendation but the other party jumped the lights or was drunk then who's at fault?

It seems to be that in the original posting that the driver was breaking a road traffic law by nipping through the lights. Which is surely a more serious problem than where a cyclist chose to cross the road.

Also, much of the Highway Code is not legally binding. So unless your actions were in contravention of a road traffic act rule then the mention of the Highway Code can be ignored.

Roller skates would be better than a bike for chasing around town.

700c wheels on a MTB.

The only options I can think of are near Hemel hempstead and in surrey.

Singular don't officially do demo rides, but Sam is a top bloke and might let you have a go, especially if you want to buy a bike or frame off him. His stuff is highly recommended by me. They even do a frame for off roading with drop bars.

Or there's head for the hills in surrey:

I cycle in normal clothes when visiting friends, shopping etc. The trick is to cycle at just below the speed which provokes sweating. Only do the sweaty athletic stuff when you know you've got facilities waiting at the destination.

Even with full mudguards you still get some splatter of mud if you take a shortcut across some grass

It has been weeks of car driving misery for me. Bad weather in April meant less cycling than usual and then I injured my coccyx which has only just healed up, plus my hip has started to click when I walk, but it seems not to affect cycling.

I'm hoping to recharge over the long weekend and be rolling again soon.

Stainless steel, nice

Lets hope he's not sold drugs to finance this venture.

The more I learn about the olympics the more I think it is just a sponsorship competition with a bit of sports thrown in.

There's an advertising exclusion zone around the stadium where only official sponsors adverts can be seen. Bridges have had their adverts covered up. All of the changing rooms and bathrooms have had logos of hand dryers, sinks, hand wash and toilets covered up.

I'm not interested in them at all now.
