The dog was spotted by residents at the scene of the crash and was not believed to be harmed. He was not arrested at the scene but subsequently interviewed voluntarily by police.
Woof.
It had potholes extending from the verge into the carriageway.No – it has a section of the verge that’s been worn away by people parking/driving on it.
(Incidentally, he’s let himself go a bit since his Doctor Who days, hasn’t he?)
Apparently, he is even a doctor, as the article refers to him as Dr. Tennant in at least one place.
Surely it would be easier to just go back in time to before the tyre damage and drive properly next time, than to sue the council.

The trouble with outdoor testing is that you really need a long, long stretch of road (10kms+) where you know you can ride solidly for twenty minutes without having to stop for cars, lights or anything else (maybe you do in your wide open spaces)Zwift still sounds like hell to me.
We have an incredible number of long, straight roads with no traffic to choose from here. Just choosing one at random. Over ten miles, one stop sign with plenty of visibility to just cruise across the low-traffic road (as long as the corn isn’t high.)

I may borrow one sometime and do a 20 minute test. Quite a lot of my friends have power meters on at least one bike, and a few of them are close enough to my size.
There is a place where I could do an FTP test indoors on a trainer, but I really have no desire to subject myself to that.

I’m 53, and gained most of my cycling fitness after age 43. I’ve never done an FTP test nor used a power meter, but based on occasionally asking the guy next to me what his meter says, I can sustain over 200 W for a long time, at under 75 kg.

That article is far too kind to Moses. I highly recommend reading The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Despite the title, it applies to cities worldwide.
Dump your swasticarWhilst I agree with the sentiment, there’s a lot of people who bought swasticars before it become known that Musk is a Nazi. It seems unfair that they’re now being targetted and they can barely sell their car without making a big loss.
Maybe the appropriate sticker would help.
And it was the cyclist’s fault
The 25 mph cyclist made me do it.
Then once the driver matches the 25 MPH speed, the cyclist is holding him up!
Still no mention of a driver.

“This was after a car crashed into a brick wall while manoeuvring around the covered car park at The Maltings, near Sainsbury’s.”
Woman gets fine for illegally parking on Winnats Pass and will never return to park there after ordeal (umm, that’s how parking fines are supposed to work?!):It looks like it only adds two miles to walk from the Castleton car park.

I haven’t gone looking for the Facebook group in question, it’s all a bit too close to home for me – anyone else got the stomach for it, maybe could give us the gist?Bunch of carbrains, occasional voice of sanity, not as bad as Xitter.

Okay, but one attacked a single cyclist, the other delayed multiple drivers!

Ok, just noticing this on my own bike. The rear wheel I bought from wheelbuilder.com. The front I rebuilt on my existing SON hub with a rim ordered by my LBS. Both are the same DT Swiss GR531 rim, except for the number of holes.
Why does the front rim have the valve hole aligned with a sticker, and the other has it between the two stickers?!
I know I’ll never get a “Super Nice” on the GCN show with it like this. Can I get one exchanged under warranty?
Edit: never mind, it’s on me! The stickers on the other side of each rim are shifted 90°. Did I build it wrong? No way am I going to re-lace the front to fix this.
