I use a vacuum insulated
I use a vacuum insulated Klean Kanteen in my King Iris cage. It’s a little tighter than my other bottles, but it works. I mostly use it for summer rides, to have nice cold water even after a couple of hours out at 35 °C.

Hexes and hexes and hexes, plus a couple of Torx. I find myself using the T handles the most just because they’re easiest to get out.

Good thing it wasn’t a cyclist with high pressure tyres. They’d have sunk to the centre of the earth!

So someone’s going to crash into the building because they didn’t know there was a turn there?! I could almost understand going down the driveway, but the reason not to drive where the building is, is that there’s a building there, in front of you, visible, and definitely not a road. Roads are seldom vertical.
Another resident who did not wish to be named said: “I didn’t know there was an accident, I hope everyone is alright.”Great reporting, interviewing someone who knows nothing about the incident. They might as well have interviewed someone in Australia.

[quote=Jogle][b]CCTV shows moment vehicle almost flipped after smashing into parked car and leaving scene[/b] I’ve read the comments at the bottom and it seems to be that it isn’t the fault of the driver; the parked car is to blame for being parked on the wrong side of the road. I must also point out that I can’t see that the parked car was wearing hi-viz or a helmet, they were just asking for trouble if you ask me! https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/cctv-shows-moment-vehicle-almost-25067183%5B/quote%5D
The struck car did not appear to have been left with its parking brake on.
