Colds, ‘Flu & too much to do :0(

You don't get to tell the government how to spend their money, you just have an option to try to kick them out every few years if you don't like what they did.

Halfords/ Boardman appears to favour carbon wheels at the higher end- the more costly gravels offer the Banzai! hookless Zipp 303S

A sprinters' festival makes for low TV ratings until 15 minutes before the end of the race. Unless crosswinds blow, then everything can happen.

I had a dream - the UCI asked Evenepoel, Swenson, Vinegegaard and other pros who got injured while out training to take part in a global campaign to promote safe cycling and raise all road users' (including pedestrians) awareness about the vulnerability of people who travel and commute on two wheels. It's about time to make cycling really SafeR, isn't it?

For a packable rain jacket, I prefer no pockets.

The impact went down into the frame and snapped the top and down tubes I'm assuming that's a carbon frame?

If Emily thinks that a migraine is instantly triggered by a bright light, and if she thinks that people with migraines are capable of continuing to drive whilst in the grip of one, then Emily doesn't really know what a migraine is.

I got car doored a couple of years ago. The left hand handkebar hit the edge of the opening door. The impact went down into the frame and snapped the top and down tubes. I went down, knocked out, but escaped with bad bruising.

I don't mind the no pockets but wish that Road.CC would show these jackets rolled up so we can gauge how packable they are.

Well I'm pretty sure I'm not on the right… I know the point you're making and indeed have often pointed out to people that they should look at their take-home pay and if they're happy with that stop worrying about what their employer gives to the government. However when I'm paying for my shopping it's not anybody else's money going on the VAT and duty, is it? If you frame Government expenditure as not taxpayers' money then you run into another problem which is if it's not our money then why should we have a right to have an input in telling the government how it should be spent?
