Thanks for all the replies, the advice, the encouragement. I feel a much more confident now.

Thanks Brian. I can do that. (They are road cleats).

Got all the gear now but lack the bottle to go on a long ride. Suppose I have a mishap and have to push the bike home. Will I be able to walk miles in my cleats? And what will my cleats and legs look like afterwards... Somehow I just don't trust my luck. This is my first clip-in set-up and I lack co...

. I had no trouble releasing the SRAM Powerlink on my 8 speed road bike and managed with just my bare hands. It was a different story with my 7 speed hybrid bike. Couldn't shift it with my bare hands. I couldn't figure why not. Consulted the Bicycle Tutor: http://bicycletutor.com/quick-release-chai...

Just to let you know, the tickets have now been taken.

Hi I won these so they didn't cost me anything but unfortunately I cannot go and I don't want them to go to waste. They are for Friday the 9th or Saturday the 10th or Sunday the 11th of October at Earls Court, London 10.00 to 18.00 Friday and Saturday and 10.00 to 17.00 on Sunday. For more info see:...

And another thing dotbike never refunded my postage for sending the lock back to them. Dotbike can take a hike.

I used dotbike a couple of years ago and vowed never to do so again. I bought a U lock from them and when it arrived the keys would not open it. I phoned them up and spoke to Neil who simply laughed at me and basicly told me I had bought a cheap piece of rubbish, but told me to post it back to them ...

Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I am also trying lowering my PC monitor as I spend more time on the PC than I spend on cycling. Hopefully that will change.

None of us has eyes in the back of our heads - it would be a fine thing if we did. 360 degree vision is absolutely essential in navigating a roadway which we must mostly share with four wheeled vehicles weighing one hundred times more than us. I suffer from a chronic stiff neck which hampers my abil...

I think it may be a bad time financially to buy a Van Nicholas from the view that they are a Dutch firm building their bikes in Holland and pricing them in Euros. Presently the Pound is very weak against the Euro making the bike that much dearer. But then the entry bike, the new Mistral, is only 1,6...

. Titanium (pronounced /taɪˈteɪniəm/) is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the “space age metal”, it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color. Ti...

Anyone got any idea about Van Nicholas, especially their latest the Mistral ?

Can anyone remind me of the formula to get bike size from inner leg dimension? Mine is 75cm.

Many thanks Mick. Sorry to put you to the trouble. I did try searching for it but without any luck.
