I see quite a few MAAP items out in the Surrey Hills. The new shop has a cafe and they're from Melbourne so the coffee should be good: I'm looking forward to visiting.

@chrisonabike Mercedes was acceptable, but the second one (old Toyota people carrier/ex-taxi) was a prosecutable offence.

I wasn't saying that nor talking about people who say that. I said it was silly to claim that wearing a helmet indicates acceptance of dangerous driving and poor infrastructure. I choose to wear a helmet; I also regularly report dangerous driving to the police and correspond with councils and road authorities about ways infrastructure could be improved for cyclists. I rather doubt I'm the only helmet wearer who does so.

@Rendel Harris ".....but the claim that wearing one is somehow to be accepting dangerous driving and poor infrastructure is silly." Not that silly. Demanding that cyclists wear a helmet is seen by many people as 'the answer' to cycling safety, so there's no need to put in infrastructure. The difference between infrastructure and helmets is that infrastructure works. Helmets are a distraction from what really works, and the more time we spend talking about them, the less time we spend on things that do work. Helmets should be consigned to the dustbin of history as a failed experiment, and we should cease even mentioning them.

@Mr Blackbird Hats off to George Hall My hat's not coming off- despite this touch of cycleway-washing, Hall still bears the Mark of Cain, until he repudiates his party altogether

Perhaps an article showing a) what is available in the uk as cargo bikes and) comments from real life scenarios from those already using bikes or cargo bikes as one gentleman has done in the comments. Perhaps road.cc could follow up with this. Even the London Assembly member said not every business should use cargo bikes but suggested a more nuanced approach suitable for certain trades or companies....

WHAT?

Yet this video contradicts that.

Nothing new about that Enve
Nothing new about that Enve stem, Specialized have been selling the same system for almost a deccade.
No spoilers here, but tonight
No spoilers here, but tonight’s Giro highlights should not be missed
That guy must be curing his
That guy must be curing his aching posterior with that huge inhaler now that Froome has won the stage so dramatically

No offence but if you’re really wanting to avoid any spoilers about a cycling race, then best to avoid a cycling website until later that evening!
I avoid most websites when the F1 is on, but then I normally watch about 3 minutes after the lights go out and then get bored.

Probably better not to put spoilers up there so blatantly, it’s normally possible to avoid the headline spoilers that webs put up, strange as it sounds, but one is prepared to divert ones eyes without registering the final details. Putting up a spoiler like that is a is just that, to spoil it for others. And, in my opinion, people who put up spoilers like that are dildos.
I also feel that dildo is an under used word that was apt for this thread and that person.
No offence taken…
It’s beyond silly to even
It’s beyond silly to even peep at the interwebs if one wants to watch a replay of a sporting event, especially a potentially phenomenally dramatic one at that.
Not just beyond silly, it’s plain idiotic, especially expecting a forum to abide by your whims, lest you kick up a tantrum of entitlement issues, labelling what is just a comment in a thread as a “spoiler”.
So idiotic that even a dildo the size of the giant inhaler portrayed in the pic is not enough to soothe the butthurt & fill in the mental void one has to even consider the possibility of entertaining the very thought of looking at the internet other than to watch the replay, if one has such entitlement issues.
