Traffic always grows to exceed the capacity of any road network - in the same vein, traffic will fall if you reduce the capacity of the network. It doesn't. There are plenty roads around Glasgow built many years ago where traffic is still below capacity. Local roads, some city commuter routes, and ...

I'm not impressed by some of the efforts in Glasgow. Case in point Great Western Road, Knightswood. Existing Rd isa 30mph limit. 6 lane dual carriageway. Never had an issue cycling it. lane2.jpg THe inside lane now closed off with plastic bollards. OK. But every bus stop now has a ramp over the whol...

I've had a couple of scam calls on the landline recently. Something like your internet is being cut off. Press 1 to update.


Presumably 1 would connect the auto call to a scanner who would try and extract personal or bank details.

Hi, I’m planning on doing Lejog both next year and also in 2022 (different routes) but first things first I need a bike for these challenges. Should I be looking at an out and out tourer or maybe a gravel bike with a few add ons. One of the trips i’m hoping to camp some of the nights and other nigh...

I assume that the human right they don't like is this one The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State I thought the Tories claim to be pro family, though Johnson himself doesn't seem to think much to family commitment. Boris...

I thought 44t was usually the max front ring size for an XT front derailleur. Intended for MTB where 42 or 44 were the common sizes. I have an XT drrailleur which looks similar to that in the picture running on a 22-32-42 9 speed chainset with no issues. I believe that if the narrower cage caused is...

Because if a rider in front goes down he may bring others down as well. Forward view of potholes etc reduced for riders at the back. .

Looks like the old 1/4" Ordnance Survey Series.

Surly Disc Trucker. Not sure about standard gearing but my rim brake Trucker runs 700x42s with mudguards and has an 18" bottom gear with an MTB triple crankset and 11-34 cassette. Not sure about the 2021 "upgrades" though. https://www.cyclingabout.com/2021-surly-disc-trucker-touring-b...

The NYPD has 56000 cops. for a city of 8 million. The MET has 32000 for London pop 9 million. Police Scotland has 17000 cops for a 5 million population. If Scotland had the same ratio as the NYPD it would have 35000 cops. The broken windows policy won't work when the cops on the frontline are often ...

I'd go with a pair of shoes one size bigger combined with either one pair of thick socks or a thin pair and thicker pair on top. Going for thick socks without bigger shoes might make it worse by reducing circulation.

Reporting to the police has been mentioned but I cannot see that achieving much in relation to getting your money. I suspect that the line would be that this was not a reportable accident. I don't know what the current rules may say but a dependable member of this forum has previously posted that e...

Looking at the picture on the BBC article I think the upper modern road is in the wrong place given the landslip hazard. As can be seen in the picture/video the angle of slope is less lower down at the old road. While the higher line may have had advantages in allowing an easy gradient near the top ...
