Danny MacAskill back with new video as he takes on the streets of San Francisco

@FionaJJ I'd add construction costs in themselves. That might sound obvious, but costs have risen significantly in recent years. I won't disturb anyone sleeping under a bridge, but a number of political decisions have factored into this state of affairs. Needless to say, everything is much more expensive than it was.

@Rendel Harris au contraire, disabled people want to stand on their own two feet (well, the ones without prosthetic legs at least) and contribute to society, just like everyone else does. You, on the other hand, have some kind of saviour complex where disabled people need you to dole out extra benefits to them, much like one might give a dog a bone or a child a bag of sweets. This isn't how people want to be treated. Rise above your prejudices and understand that disabled people are more than capable of making a full contribution to society and don't need silly tax breaks to be successful. As I understand it, if a tandem bike is adapted, it will (or should) already be tax-exempt according to current law. If it isn't adapted, well then it should be subject to normal tax rules, rather than an expensive and easily abused scheme (i.e. non-disabled people escaping tax) taking its place.

It's not the exact same shoe as in this list, but after years of FiveTen, I am currently wearing the Crank Brothers Flat MTB shoes, which I've owned for about a month and a half. I don't normally have an issue with smelly shoes, but these stink. Embarrassingly so. I wear wool socks. I've tried special a special spray, I've tried drying them out. I think I'll have to try washing them. I suspect they just don't breathe at all.

@SVXY If you choose to cycle on a busy 60mph main road it is not sensible to cycle in sandals, for starters as it would reduce your grip and reaction time compared to some other types of footwear. You can have some sympathy with the victim while still making that point. As he was only convicted of careless driving clearly he did not commit that with intent either

I'm out in Montreal for the Worlds. It has been great so far - can't wait for the road races to start tomorrow. Going to be some long days. Got some great photos of the time trials.

@Nigel Garage I saw on the rolling ticker that you had commented on this story and I thought surely even he can't be such an utter petty spiteful little dick as to object to disabled people being given assistance to purchase mobility aids. Sorry to say that I was wrong. An adaptive bike, for these narrow tax purposes, is anything that the government chooses to put on the approved list. In any case, many/most tandems purchased for use by visually impaired people will have some form of adaptation, making them literally adaptive bikes as well as for the purpose of the list. You really need to take a good look at your life. Not only because you have been banned from this site dozens of times and yet you still insist on coming back and trolling it, which is desperately sad in itself, but because you are so mean minded, selfish and greedy that you object to disabled people being given a small exemption when buying mobility equipment (equipment, incidentally, which will help them to keep fit and quite probably reduce the burden on the NHS, and therefore the taxpayer, by far more than the value of the exemption), apparently on the grounds that you wouldn't get the same exemption. You're not a good person.

32" is yet another marketing hype that we don't need... what next??? Bigger wheels are better.... so let's all go back to riding "Ordinaries"🤣

I do enjoy our resident trolls double speak. The last sentence suggests he has paid tax to Lizzi. I definitely approve of the concept of trolls paying extra tax. I am off to see a production of 1984 at the theatre tomorrow night. I think our Nigel on this forum is probably a room 101 possibility.

@Smartstu Totally agree with you.. We should be promoting "normal" bikes for "normal" people at "affordable" price points... Encourage people to cycle to work instead of using the car, you don't need Lycra, or "aero" equipment, don't need electric assistance if you're fit, don't need stupid bike packing bags, don't need to be chasing Strava! Just need more people on bikes😎😎
