Well in my exerience you could usefuly avoid the whole of the PBW from Uppermill through to Hebden Bridge on a hybrid. I've cycled bits of it on a hybrid with 32mm tyres, bits on a hardtail with 1.75in tyres and all of it on a full sus MTB with 2.1in tyres. After recovering from the double vision on...

Well, I've just uploaded a PDF file to a test WP.com site and inserted it into a Post using the upload Media icon. You get a link in the resulting Post which if you click will download the PDf file to your browser. If you've got the Acrobat plugin in your browser you can read the file. If not, I gue...

Q13: 13. Existing provision for cyclists in terms of dedicated, segregated cycle paths, shared cycle paths, designated cycle lanes on roads is perfectly adequate. Perfectly adequate: does this mean "I am satisfied with the current arrangements" or "The current arrangements stink and w...

http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas/WAL/FAMAU.GIF is a great site. This link shows you the view from Moel Famau in the Clywd hills with the Lakes and Bowland clearly visible. There's a whole bunch of other panoramas too on the site.

I took this picture last February on Dog Hill up above Oldham looking West-ish. Fine view of Fiddlers Ferry power station.

Cables,good and simple. Cables? What, mechanical cables? I was envisaging an entirely wireless connection between the Gear Changing Unit (GCU) and the OnRoad Bike Management System controller (ORBMS). In fact, you'd probably implement wifi and offer the option to offload the ORBMS to an iPad mounte...

I've been using the completely free version of AVG (ie not the 30 month trial) for the last few years. Its performed just fine picking up on the few nasties I've encountered on the web. In addition to the virus scanner on the computer, all my emails are scanned by my email provider as well.

I think one way of getting this idea accepted would be to offer a discount to the driving test fee if the candidate presented their Bikeability 3 certificate. You'd have to price the test fee such that the cost of passing Bikeability plus the cost of passing the driving test came to say 20% less tha...

If you are a seller who doesn't use Paypal too often, you may find Paypal hangs on to your money for a month or two after "payment" just in case of dispute. This may make some sellers less amenable to offers to pay in that way. So for example, I've sold a handful of things over the years o...
