It would be a public service to let them know; CUK has an online facility that's pretty quick/easy (fixthathole maybe? It's for all kinds of hazards!)

Very true! And I'm sure you'll find thousands that agree with you:

It's the latest thing for retro-grouches to moan about. This thread should flush quite a few out

My original irritation with the particular company - Betfred - was that they also were making millions from a company that supported addiction, including, or dumbly, their own clients. It now transpires they also have financial connections with a debt counselling organisation. Once again making the...

That's told you, pwa!

Who would have thought it??

because a satchel, dry bag, backpack or even a crate strapped to the top of the rear rack all seem more functional. I do not understand the popularity of these bags.

I think this is a copy of a Topeak design. I've used AGU's variant (now discontinued?) since 2007 for nearly all my audaxy adventures, it works really well. It uses 4 Velcro straps (1 at each corner) to attach - this isn't as elegant as other systems, but is reliable long-term, and fits almost any r...

Or... One could buy a Michelin 100,000:1 sheet (or similar) that would probably cover the whole route and would convey a deal of other interesting information about what's along the way. Not cycling specific but even small gravel tracks are mostly shown. Heights and gradients are a bit hit and miss...

Thanks for that! " Luckily, South Wales Police saw the funny side and shared the story on social media along with a picture of the horse on board the bus. In a Twitter post, they said: "A loose horse on the 'mane' A48 Eastern Ave decided it wanted to 'stirrup' a little trouble but in doing...

It's bloody annoying when folks park-up on their right - still with full (not side) lights on - and you're approaching on an unlit road*. If my bike had Main Beam, I'd feel justified in using it in those situations! *This usually happens in those cute villages where they removed all their streetligh...

I may get some similar signs made up (with the Driving bit), and nail them to the cars parked on pavements round our way. It's easiest to hammer the nails into the tyres - the glass is too brittle, and the metal bounces too much. Use screws to attach them to the bodywork. Always useful to hear the ...

My maternal grandpa died with the bookies owing *him* money - so they're a good thing for our family! But I'm still in favour of more restrictions than we currently have.

Well, bookies have long been the most hated profession... Al I didn’t know this and what’s the reason? At least they are trustworthy and pay out what they promise. Personally I’d trust a bookie way above a politician, a journalist, an estate agent or banker. That's an interesting perspective ... On...
