Oh CTC are on the show now

Get you cyclist bingo card at the ready.......... I understand that this cyclist was stopped in a London park for going to fast. Wait for it to talk about speeding cyclists on the roads. I've had people complain to me about speeding cyclists on the road. I always ask what was the speed limit. 30, we...

No not sweating, the rain was that hard I could feel the water leaking in by the fingers.

I had my jacket cuffs over the top of the gloves, so now water got in that way.

If they are advertised as waterproof then they should be waterproof.

If they are not waterproof then maybe say water resistant or say nothing at all.

I bought some new Altura road waterproof gloves and today was the day that they had a good wet test. So are they waterproof? They were waterproof for 30 mins then started to let the water in. I was wearing a waterproof jacket and my arms remained dry, I did not feel any water running in the top of t...

I was looking at roads that are not too busy with traffic but provide a reasonable fast route for a cyclist as I average around 18 mph. However the planner comes up with cycle paths and canal paths and my route has ...

My daughters had two bikes from Isla, both with mudguards and had no issues.

They set them up spot on with no tyre rub. Also found them very easy to adjust.

Fixed gear shops sell a selection of these spammers. Even ones with a bottle opener at other end

PS Just had a call from the police officer. He wanted to know if I was OK ( kind). He wanted to tell me that he'd do the paperwork tomorrow and send me all the driver's details (businesslike). He wanted to know if I'd found my bike where hiss colleague had left it (solicitous). But then he wanted t...

I was going to recommend a SP dynamo as I have one onmy MTB. They also do one for 20" wheels.
But it looks like everyone has beaten me too it.

Great hubs!!!!!

Gosh! Who would have guessed it, exercise and diet help you lose weight, well there. Is that why all the 'car drivers' I 'interact!' With are fat? To be honest a lot of people I see these days are overweight. I also find that others put you down for being fit/slim. It probably due to them not likin...
