describing me as "Linus" in the cartoon strip "Peanuts", playing on my little "piano".

...surely it was Shroeder who played the little piano?

I believe you are right Si.

Mick, it isn't a good idea to sit with a laptop on one's lap, they can cause radiation damage to certain bits of male anatomy, which can lead to cancer.

Welcome to your wife.

Did two runs today and one yesterday, all local although weymouth was quieter than expected, Dorchester was busier. See what the weather brings tomorrow!

Tommo, don't you have grounds for reporting an accident and possibly driving without due care and attention? I'd have informed the police.

congratulations Steve, here's to your next 100k.

I think they might mean something slightly different Tandemist.

I regret not getting back into cycling for so many years, but having done so now, I'm enjoying every minute. I might never be very fast or ride very far, or scale great mountains but what I do I love and that means there is always hope for improvement.

Congratulations Bill,
Thanks for sharing it with us, sometimes we forget how daunting the world can be; I hope we never forget how resilient the human spirit is in coping with it. Good on yer mate!

If Broderick Crawford was some fat bloke who played a cop in an American TV series back in the nineteen something or others, then I think I remember him too. In which case, Oi!!

Another favourite of my Mum, was 'hirpling' meaning to limp. I love these onomatopoeic dialecticisms.

Well I got some nice shorts, even if they were from the men's rack!

r2 'shoogling' is a Scots term for wobbling,adjective shoogly as I a shoogly table leg. Was a favourite term of my mother who was Scots.

r2 any vehicle can become a lethal weapon, including a bike. We all need to improve our awareness and tolerance of other road users whether we're driving a truck or pootling about on a bike, we all have a responsibility to look after ourselves and others.

What about something with a fixed wheel, would that help push the affected foot up?

Remember with clipless pedals you have to be able to twist the foot sideways to release.

I hope you find something suitable, safe cycling!

can't your lbs loan or hire you one, just for you to get an idea of how they differ from an mtb. It is a harder ride, but more adrenalin!

If you jump a red light and get hit, you will be deemed liable to be contributing to the accident. If you stay within the law, at least you can use it. Neither strategy will necessarily protect you from accident but it might help the after affects.
