The flexibility doesn't cost anything It does affect the train operating companies' (ToC's) costs, in a mixture of direct and indirect ways. Advance fares by their nature mean money paid in advance, with the usual benefits to the seller. Where there are multiple ToCs operating on the same routes or...

Those are the worst mountain-bikes I think I've ever seen.



Looks like I'm in - my (now) favourite local AUK has booked us a cottage fairly close.

(the hosting pub looks lovely, but the rooms ain't cheap!)

Fantastic work Chris


(As an aside, I only recently discovered ETA as a campaigning organisation. Haven't looked into them in detail, but if all other things *were* equal I'd rather give them my cash than to A.N.Other-Insurer )

This looks very appealing.

(apart from the logistics ... anyone have a spare couch in the area?!)

Where are you flying to and with which airline? What other luggage do you have? If your airline allows bikes, it is always cheaper to take bike on the plane with you (checked luggage). I regularly fly my bike to Asia, so happy to advise. HK,China and British Airways. I think it's one of the option ...

That statistic doesn't surprise me in the least. I've often reasoned that a cyclist RLJing would by virtue of his/her vulnerability not do so in the face of traffic crossing on the opposite green light but would only do so when the opposing road is clear and safe Yes!!! I've absolutely no reason to...

How did you know I'm a crybaby?? I haven't mentioned it on this forum.

Hopefully a big tough guy like you will be around when I need one - I love a hardman. x

Completed this afternoon with a fifth 100+km ride! 558 in total, over 300km in Austria/CH/FL which made it more enjoyable than slogging around the local lanes. With 5933m of climbing too I found it a fair challenge, in flatter lands it must be quite easy :lol: I think the point is that getting out ...

They aren't as unpredictable if you are good at predicting them. I don't think I'm ever surprised by a dog. Why should I have to? The dog owners are the people choosing to impose their dirty, noisy, potentially dangerous animals on members of the public. If I wandered around a park carrying a shotg...

Dogs are half-wild animals and very unpredictable Read about one recently that killed both its keepers :( They aren't as unpredictable if you are good at predicting them. I don't think I'm ever surprised by a dog. An experienced police-man might say the same about all sorts of horrendous behaviour....

Interesting letter in the Times Motoring section; anyone know if this is true? Don't suppose Mr Day of Marsh Baldon* reads this forum?? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dvwp-iSWkAE0_SG.jpg (I tweeted this first, just as the easiest way to get it online!) *he is quite near me - but it's sliiiightly too bi...

What I'm talking about is people attempting to transfer their own duty of care - in this case keeping proper control of their dogs - onto others. Makes sense to me! That's not to say that we don't benefit from understanding the minds of hazardous critters - but we have the right to do certain thing...

Notable bicycle nerd and mechanical engineer Tom Anhalt on progress: https://www.instagram.com/p/BYy9qR4A4zS/ I wouldn’t go as far as calling clipless pedals, indexed shifting, and STI shifters “transformative”, but I guess that amounts to semantic quibbles. They’re transformative on some scale (de...
