Does it matter? Even out of 20000 there'll only be a small proportion contributing the bulk of the interesting posts. Subject to it not dwindling to a couple of dozen ......talking amongst themselves, it's still worth following

I’m a long way behind you, unfortunately. But the check-up on 2 October went okay and progress is happening, so I’m happier than I was before. I still have the sling about half the day and at night. I can lift my arm about halfway, depending on the direction. It feels like a hard stop, but previous...

I fractured my shoulder (proximal humerus) on 3 September. They operated on 10 September because the fracture was unstable (bit of bone chipped off). Plate installed with several screws. Recovery has been slow and uncomfortable. I’m still in a sling and not even dreaming of cycling yet. I have limi...

What do you do when someone is tailgating you? Let them crash :wink: 8-9 years back I suffered the experience of being passed by a convey of 10-12 cars/SUV's on a dead straight moor road. They were all tailgating each other, rather than me, but no surprise when that standard of driving resulted in ...

Nothing on the road, but a few pounds a year from £1 coins stuck in the lockers at the gym.

Used to hand them in, but routinely found myself being questioned as a "guilty party" so now simply retain them. Made a £1 last week

My hospital is a 120 mile round trip. Car the only reasonable way of getting there. I thought you lived in Berwick? ....... I didn't say impossible but that car was most reasonable. I live in the country: first a bus to town (two hourly) them one or more buses. All to coincide with appointment time...

My hospital is a 120 mile round trip. Car the only reasonable way of getting there. I thought you lived in Berwick? It's easy enough to get to the main Northumberland hospital by bus from Berwick (NB. I'll be on the Berwick bus tomorrow, as I've got another hospital appointment). To be fair, the th...

Tents are a compromise. If you want light then you might be compromising on durability and robustness to stand up to bad weather. ..... a bit like sleeping bags. People want just one bag that will keep them warm in all temperature ranges, from a light cover in warmer summer months down to -15C in a...

I break using my peddles :wink: Are you sure you don't peddle using your breaks. :wink: No comment :wink: It's quite incredible really (Nb. I visited a Northern, post industrial, benefit claiming city today. From the 2 litre bottle of cider and mini bottle of wine being purchased by the shopper in ...

My God, a Daily Mail reader on the CTC forum Disgusting

I,m intrigued.Why are you doing a huge number of sit ups?I thought sit ups had a bad press for back related issues. I find it best to take short breathing spaces from heavy exercise whilst at the gym and find blocks of 100-150 situps' provide that useful breathing space (NB. Couldn't do them this m...

Ride a recumbent.... Hmm.....I find it hard enough to hide the uprights from the Landlord ! I've found the best approach is to dismantle and store one bike in a built in wardrobe and wheel/lock up the other two at the gym, 5 minutes walk away :wink: (Nb. Perhaps I should buy again, rather than rent...
