Christmas day would have been great for a Boris Bike ride. Vitually no traffic, you would have had a fair number of roads to yourself.
I'm still seeing pleanty out at the moment, despite some predictions that they wouldn't be used in the winter.
I mean the previous poster, its his/her first post… On another forum, like LFGSS that's a capital offence.. He/She should try it...
FG
In fact 72% of fatally injured car drivers had suffered a head injury.
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/research/rsrr/theme5/fatalinhuriesc...
So surely the need for helmets in cars is higher than bikes.
No one ever looked good in National kit unless they'd earned the right to wear it.
If it's anything like the 2012 stuff Adidas have already put out, it'll be sh*te...
What if you approach them from the other direction? Is there a London Borough called HTEBMAL?
Hardly FG. There have been many. Where have you been?
First post promoting Torm? Lucky you didnt try this on LFGSS forum!
Well that only really works when its not in use doesnt it. Good idea about using them to replacing other street furniture tho, I know many cyclists just lock to sign-posts anyway at least this will 'promote' cycling in the area a bit more.
LMAO - the elfstone thing is the best part of this whole story.
Why do people laugh at Jeremy Clarkson right up to the point where he has a pop at your interest? Top Gear is funny. End of. If you don't like his style of humour, which is miles away from offensive, don't watch! Simples!
He has a go at everyone, even car drivers. He once said he wanted to have snipers who would 'take out' those idiots who sit in yellow boxes. Brilliant!
Chill out people, it's a joke.
i meant shiny in the sense of nice, not shiny in the sense of shiny
Anodised finish… nice. That certainly looks like a frame that mean's business
If you care to read the advert once again, the finish is described, quite accurately, as annodised black.
Nelly Buck said: "The most in depth answer I had was from the UKIP MEP John Bufton."
Any relation to the respected and oft-quoted Tory backbencher Sir Bufton Tufton?
Well, I bagged one of the red long sleeve ones and very pleased with it I must say, and at such a great price!
Like the look of the new designs as well and will be getting more when funds are better.
Really pleased that they are back trading again and feel that they will be a better and stronger company for it.
The most in depth answer I had was from the UKIP MEP John Bufton. In amongst his rant against the dilution of power for the UK, he says that he will support the Declaration. Obviously not a united front!
It's got nothing to do with being fair, it's simply common sense.
(and he's probably stoned)
I too answered the appeal to contact my mep's, so sad that this should happen just a couple of days later, action can't come soon enough.
Original cast hoops for Toronto (1990) had "City of Toronto - Cycle Parking" cast into ring, and replicated for City of Cambridge (MA).
You can do some really creative things by small embellishments on basic cycle racks - Portsmouth had seafaring rope work (knots and hitches) strung across the space inside the hoop or ring. In 1990 Sutton Coldfield had laser-cut overlay in thin steel plate fitted to outer cladding of lockers.
Cycle parking can work to reduce need for other street furniture/clutter by carrying car & cycle parking signage - have done sample sketches for a few projects over the years.
Yeah right its so hot you can't see where your going. Your head is boiling hot so that really focus and that is in winter. maybe we should give up when it gets to hot or we start to think we can take greater risks because we wear a helmet. The old Volvo syndrome. Helmets can help but they can also hinder. What about the guy that was paralised in a crash where the helmet is given as the cause of the injury. I have a motorbike license and well as a car. if everybody was given proper training and it had to be updated and we were more visible and the roads were made safer for cyclists this would be better. Helmets seem in many peoples thinking to the the only panacea to all cycling injuries. Yes helmets help some people but not all. It is a matter of personal choice. I have never worn a helmet and will most likely never will. I am more aware of the road much more aware than if I wore a helmet. My bike training has helped assess the road, stationary objects and possible dangers around. Its a personal choice.
for a frame with a matt finish, that is *quite* shiny
Can you forward pics pls if these are not already sold.
Cheers
