Rapha inner tube.jpgStuff we noticed on the web: the Rapha inner tube
Welcome to a new weekly series that we’re calling ‘stuff we noticed on the web’ – so named because it features stuff that we noticed on the web. In this first and almost certainly final instalment, the stuff in question is the Rapha inner tube.
The Rapha inner tube’s been in the Repair Essentials Case since at least last Christmas. We’re not sure how long it's been a standalone item.

Secondly, and more importantly, it’s imprinted with the words “Patience, s'il vous plait.”

You think so? They can't even stop 1000s of migrants flooding our shores every week. How many criminals are coming in each week?
They tend to be missnamed, less a clean air zone, more a pollution tax zone. And yes, polluting private cars should pay.
I normally only post articles where the word driver isn't mentioned. Sometimes it seems like the writers go out of their way to not mention a...
