Would the police give any support if casualty was an unlit pedestrian?

Can anyone help with the relevant "chapter and verse" of Highway code specifying 5 feet (1.5metre) overtaking gap. I need to enlighten driver, presumed instructor, of "Teendrive" school car who gave me about 5" CLEARANCE RECENTLY. No doubt many of his clients/pupils will, th...

Do you really need this long chain. On tourer/CTC bike, chainset from faraway days when I went further and faster, is 52/40/26!! Cassette is 11/28. Rear Mech. is long cage ULTEGRA.RD.6600 from 1998. It all works well. I SHORTEN CHAINS by 6 links/3""!! I am assuming you ride "triple&qu...

What length and model crank do you need?

Can't be first time for this problem; someone on this site will have sorted it! Possible solution? 50+ years ago, for bikes without "lamp bracket boss" we fitted the lamp bracket on front spindle. If you do have lamp boss I have, somewhere among the post PBP spares, an adaptor to fit two l...

Again, thank you for immediate reply. Can I clarify that repair is not urgent I have several bikes, I'm told too many that I never use!! Today, cloudy but dry so COLNAGO CLX.

What response did you get when asked authorities about finite re-opening date?
Certainly cheaper than the ferry!

Where in Durham are you?
Hetton or Hunstanworth?
Murton or Muggleswick?
If you want to pm your land line phone number I might have a few clues.

Thank you all for prompt reply.
Its a re-assuring reflection of the comradeship and fraternity of our world of wheels.
I will, in next few days(not tonight anyway), reply to all your suggestions.
Thank you all!!

I need to take my blind stoker's tandem to Semaine Federal 2018. Current car is Mk4 MONDEO hatchback. Previous car was MONDEO estate with full length roof-rails; lots of scope to spread load of tandem. The fixing points on current car are 30"s apart. Guessing, because he and tandem 8mile away, ...
