Maybe I'm being a bit thick here. So this is a side panel that attaches to your current rack and costs 25 quid per side? I assume it also attaches to the frame near the rear dropout but I could not see any details on this. Does it work with any panniers or just select Thule panniers?
@AidanR More cool, clearly looked at the course and thought it's a TT, the weight saving is going to be more important than braking. We know who beat whom!
@mdavidford Reminds one of a very old comedy sketch – Not the 9 o'clock News, maybe? – with a racehorse owner whose horse had come last coming into the stables after the race and apologising to the horse for giving him such a rubbish jockey and sticking the jockey in the knacker's van.
Its strange to budget off of money you never had. There is no way they could ever know how many of those cyclists would have otherwise visited the town. In fact many may of visited precisely because they could cycle and not be burdened with extortionate parking charges. In which case they probably made more money in the town from visitors paying into the local economy. But they fail to see that side. Better to have money trickle through you economy benefitting businesses than just a parking tax.
"Adespoto accused Traffic Scotland of “garbage messaging”, telling the body that “drunk, drugged, unlicensed and speeding drivers are killing people. Delete this shit.” Adespoto is right: it's shit. But compared to the Saturday Night Live, or Like (sic) sketch it's not bad. Maybe I'm an out of touch old git with a cycling dependency, but that wasn't funny. Nor was it amusing, not so much as the hint of a smile. Just very silly, inaccurate and absurd. To call it drivel would be a compliment. Still, at least now I know what not to watch on Saturday nights. The US version is infinitely better.
I think the tie-breaker is Gomes' ankle-length sock look out-cools Cá's regulation mid-calf choice.
@chrisonabike Some say they went extinct, but in reality they just moved off-world.
@Rendel Harris but is he less cool with his rim brakes?!
@Paul J they could even allow recumbents back in again! Everyone on eg M5 carbon high-racers - that could be interesting.
@mdavidford where are they now? (Apart from being trolled at Crystal Palace).

Wow, this probably shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does… but man this is annoying.
Out of interest, what responsibility do the school have with regards to student welfare outside of the gates? i.e. are they liable if one of the kids off themselves, or if the kids off a pedestrian?
if the answer is yes, then that makes this situation more of a grey area, but if not, then this is just wank.
Essentially this is pandering to moaning from pedestrians / motorists complainign about school kids.
Lets be frank, kids are kids, and I am sure there are plenty of complaints of poor conduct regarding kids walking to school, the parents driving their kids to school, the kids using public transport… the difference is that the schools can ban cycling. They can’t ban kids being driven to school (parents would go nuts), walking or taking public transport, so they do this.
It is utter crap. Why won’t schools take a stand, tell these moaners that childrens conduct outside the school gate is not their responsibility. Why don’t they encourage best practice by offering cycle proficiency training (is it bikeability now?), why don’t they protect their interests by asking that children do not display uniform outside of the school gates?
Also, I thought schools couldn’t ban cycling? They could make it difficult, but out right ban it? Anyone know for sure?
