If we are going to use and manufacture steel then mining our own coal does not seem worse than importing it from places like Australia. Yes we need to use less steel and a more environmentally sound way to produce steel, but at the moment we need coking coal. The planned out put from the Cumbria mi...

Ram-mount have this. You can buy components individually too if you needed, for example, a longer arm. Does your camera have image stabilisation? There is often a lot of vibration when mounting cameras directly to a bike. You might consider a chest mount which means your body dampens out vibration....

forcecast is a little on the cold side for sunday!

Personally I think the anti-vaxers are mad, but they should have a right to spout their nonsense - slippery slope moderating stuff out that we don't agree with.

winters over, about 10 degrees hre yesterday, wonderful warm sunshine to ride in, however there was some messy bits as the thaw set in.

Down on the milfield plain the snow was just on the roads

I know a lady who has been putting on 'just a little' weight year on year and I calculated that all it takes is a less than a chocolate bar a week over what she actually needs, to find herself two stone overweight ten years later. ' I have had something similar with myself of late. I have put on ov...

I would agree, therefore, that when a major constitutional change is proposed which could have a lifetime effect a two thirds majority would probably better reflect the view of people. The SNP would be on a hiding to nothing then... Is that a problem? People are fickle, supermajorities should be re...

I had the same thing yesterday, a notable metallic click once per turn on the front wheel, loud enough for me to stop and investigate. Click was still present with front wheel lifted and spun. Could not find anything that was causing it, continued riding. the noise must have vanished later as I forg...

just been outside (scottish borders) and as I went into the garage I could feel hands slightly sticking to the metal handle - had a look at the thermometer and it is -12°C (proper measurement in a stvenson box sort of thing) way lower than the forcast of -7

Anyway- back to this wonderful weather. An absolute shocking -9°C as I set off this morning, but it was worth it, what a fantastic day to be out riding. 5 hours to do 36 miles :shock: spent too much time playing with the camera. Here are a few more pics - the trees were just amazing https://i.postim...

Lovely. Off-topic - looks as if you've got a steerer extender on the bike. I'm thinking of getting one. Any issues? Excuse me for butting in.Had these extenders on two road bikes after a disc(back)problem.No issues apart from a small change in handling,soon adapted to.Taken them off when my back go...

What part of the country is it?

the far north of notrhumberland

I would of thought the process of wiping dirty black oil from the chain after oiling was an important process in removing dirt - the new oil flushes out some of the dirty stuff inside the chain.

Just one of those rides that is near perfect, wish these were normal winter conditions https://i.postimg.cc/B6vmb9Cs/snw-1387.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/TPf78WLK/snw-1400.jpg Some very dark clouds start to gave chase https://i.postimg.cc/KzsJgq9T/snw-1407.jpg I tried to out run them, but couldn't http...
