I "hope" they also make them in red, white and blue ...
Disc brakes on a cross bike........ I hope they work better than the ones on my Genesis Croix de Fer. Haven't stopped pinging, grinding and squeaking so far despite much attention.
What I don't understand is that the cameras raise £100m each year for the Treasury, which funds much of the expenditure incurred by local government, which spends £38m on maintaining the cameras. Net cost £62m.
you can have the yellow Charge grips and empty Hello Kitty ice-cream wrapper if you want
defo with you on the double summertime 37monkey - okay so they turn them off at 3am, how soon before the say let's turn 'em off at 2, then 1 and then "y'know let's not turn them on at all"
Am I missing something, but isn't this a ....... freewheel?
I looked at the photo and I thought - "This week's Schwag!" - please tell me that it's not though!! Really enjoyed your's and the rest of the guys tales from Eurobike. Thanks for sharing.
The poor work experience kid completely misunderstood when he was told to include a fly on the crotch.
Won't somebody please think of the children!!
there are many roads and streets around me that are unlit and there are NO problems with them at all.
-Drivers driving faster because the streetlights are off... at 3am?! are you mad woman, if anyone is regularly driving at that time in the morning you can be pretty sure they aint driving at the speed limit.
-And lights to see cyclists.. at 3am they'll have bloody lights on anyway! twits.
Im sure there are logical reasons not to turn them off, but these sort of knee-jerk responses are not it.
Or you could get a velomobile! There are many makes and models. This one is a head-out type. They don't 'fly', but they go like stink, as long as the pilot is strong.
In a recent competiton Cyclevision 2010:
David Hembrow achieved 21st place travelling 235 km in 6 hours Averaging 39.1 kmh.

Full disclosure, I am unconnected with any velmobile manufacture or supplier. So I get to make precisely £zero for the picture. But I have watched David Hembrow's videos on YouTube.
oh and change to double summertime whilst you're at it!

you're #593 in the full league and #206 in the purist's league, so not the same place at all...
we got a bit busy looking at bikes and that, so we'll draw it tomorrow
get yourself seen! HONK HONK
You tell me....does that look like a fingernail in there or what?
Im havent made any transfers yet so im checking my position in the purists table which is the same as the normal league is this being looked at?
Thanks
Martin
how could you put tape on that gorgeous Genesis frame...
I need to go
sounds like you had fun! do those gloves really have 'GRIPPPP' written across the top, cant see me in them TBH.
A few observations from my normal train-Brompton commute
* quite a few commuters flouting the train guidelines and bringing their non-folding bikes on during peak periods, blocking the aisles resulting in snide comments from other passengers aimed at anyone carrying a cycle helmet
* a lot more people walking and jogging to work (whilst listening to their iPods) and stepping off the pavement without notice
* significantly more cyclists many of which were clearly not accustomed to riding in London and further tarnishing the reputation of cyclists
* And - Barclays cyles' rear mudguards aren't effective. Where's the wet faced smiley?
You'll be able to get replica 'green' kit from China before the month's out, I'd bet my kidneys on it...
I'm told no self-respecting club cyclist would be be seen dead in the Team Sky clothing, but they're missing an opportunity to raise money & awareness by not selling it.
Even paupers like me can afford the drink bottles (the Gatorade ones are the exact colour to match nothing on the road today and therefore look equally great/naff on anything) but the promise of 'profits going to save tree-frogs' have even the most frugal logging on to PayPal and doing a hill-climb to the moral high ground.
apologies - should have mentioned that. It's 1cm wide and 2.5m long
How long and how wide is this tape? I have bought some of this tape (25 mm wide, 4.5 metres long for £5) which is very good.
Rapha's so called “worldwide pricing” is a big rip-off for non-EU customers.
I had to pay an “international price” that is much higher than UK domestic price simply because I live outside the region. Not to mention the fact that the price I paid was higher than non-VAT RRP based on UK prices as well.
Someone lives in the UK can buy their Country jersey that’s on-sale for USD$124.75. I live outside EU and I had to pay USD$135 for it?
