So the moral of the story is; "If you can pass as reasonably attractive, from behind, from a distance, on a grainy video and you can find a good enough back story on the victim and/or decent excuse, attacking cyclists is fully acceptable".
I also particularly enjoy the way she has tried to make out she was the innocent party and that it was caused by him grabbing her chest, as though he was some dirty old man who had gone out of his way to give her a bit of a fumbling. Stalin himself would have been proud of that bit of historical revisionism.
I'm sorry to say I'm with the above.
£2,500 on a kids bike.
If my teen can save £475 for a Bianchi and still beat Kristian House up a CAT 4 climb, I'm sure the boy would be better off training on a lesser stead and then know the value of a decent bike when older.
Gutted for the family and fingers crossed they nab the scum.
Yes, we're asking about Android… does anyone use iPhones any more?
np, fair enough. Not really something you'd need to access mid ride though and you need a helper to get accurate measurements of your own body!
The one I linked to has plenty of options and will email you the figures so you can print or keep them on file, I used the results to choose my frame and stem size for a build and also adjusted the saddle position following the advice.
re insurance, to be honest, in that part of town the insurers might just laugh at you! one of the suspected bike thieves lives round the corner!
Not another ride with the World Champ.
Forever bumping into him in the Essex lanes, coffee shops......
I want some for the club run - do Rapha make them?!
Snap
I would think it will just be a leisurely trundle tbh.
+1
Christ on a bike(?!), that's fast.
Love the bit about your myopic team-mate tucking in behind you - I'm -7.25 and in the winter I was descending at 30+ in the snow and rain and having to look over the lenses because awful vision was better than none at all.
Thanks. I just wanted an app one tbh. Only really additional to my cycling based apps.
Trigger Finger was getting itchy so I've pulled ye olde trigger and gone with the TUFO's , just got me three of them suckas!!
Lets hope I made the right choice, eh ...
Super D' - try this one (web based)

I think he might have been 'given' the stage win but it didn't stop me from being on my feet and cheering him across the line.
Android version please guys!
Gulp! Just stuck my name down.
Really enjoying reading these...good effort!! 30mph for 90 miles, sweet bezeeus!
Recently got a set of these with 2012 graphics - a bit more understated than the previous version.
I also have a set of RS80's for 'best' so a light wheelset to compare them with. If you want one wheelset to do everything - commute, train, even dabble in a road race or time trial, RS30s are pretty faultless for the price.
Okay, they take a bit more to spin up, but once there, they're a pleasure to ride - the lovely smooth bearings and 30mm aero rims help. They are also a strong wheelset, look great on the bike, so for the money, you can't go wrong. Don't get too hung up on the weight - a wheels responsiveness depends more than just that one factor.
Okay, if I was facing a 20% gradient after 80 miles on a sportive I'd want my RS80's every time. But for day to day use, you could a lot worse.
Erm, who in their right mind has £20,000 (pretend the £20,000 is in red, bold, italicised and flashing, it adds to the effect) worth of bikes and doesn't insure them? I feel for the family, but that's just mental.

i've used one, and yes: it makes a lot of difference. bear in mind that the newest shimano mechs can handle a 30T sprocket too, if you're not already running SRAM shifters. your current mech will probably handle a 27/28T sprocket with no other changes
I think the police do know who it is,
100.1 miles
rode the Wight Riviera Sportive which at 96 miles long seemed a silly distance to stop so tagged an extra 4 miles riding round Yarmouth to make up the distance
Such as?
I've had ond for a month or two and would agree with the review. Brillaintly simple piece of kit. I have squeezed two tubes, a mini-tool and on CO2 canister in mine, it's a tight fit but nothing rattles. I was a little concerned about the single strap but works really well, especially if you wedge the pack between the seat rails. One bonus is the lack seat post strap means you don't knacker the finish on your seatpost. I've got mine on my Bob Jackson 'Sunday Bike'& it looks appropriatley retro with out trying to hard. I'll be getting anther for my commuter soon. Glad I bought this for £12 & not the rapha tool roll I'd been eyeing up! They also do a tubular sized one too!
