Nope you are just 10 miles down.

This'd work better if it was a minimum of 10 miles a day but not an average. So if you cycle 50 miles today, that only counts as hitting your 10 miles for today. The aim being to get you out more regularly and throughout the year. So mega efforts on particular days then nothing for a while count for...

They're not going to see you when they don't look. Accidents are because they didn't look, not because they looked but you weren't "visible enough".

Maybe he was trying to tinsel your fancy. Glad your baubles did not get snagged

Just the t bag is fine for touring if using hostels and b&bs.

I didn't like the cyclist riding up the left hand side past the traffic. :shock: How do you get to advance start boxes, then?

A bit of rain doesn't make it hardcore, decent kit will allow you to get on with it without fuss.

You forgot to dish the wheel to get it centred.

Yes , some parts would wear but more than possible without major failure. My main bike has more than twice that mileage on it and no major failures just usual wear and tear of components.

Or perhaps he was referring to slurry. I hope you weren't born and bred in slurry.

Behaviour like that sounds like a regular Surrey car driver forced to ride a bike as car being serviced. Typical Surrey car driver behaviour in my experience. Because in Surry, when your car is being serviced you usually ride one of your horses , eh Chap .... :) You're coming across a bit common. I...
