    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.

    I’m 51. I find I get restless

    I’m 51. I find I get restless legs if I take a couple of days off. No other issues yet.

    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.

    Whoever installed them needs sacking. Those bollards are easily capable of stopping that car when installed properly. It looks like someone took a shortcut and just sank them into soil below the thin pavers, instead of a significant mass of concrete.

    [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

    Exactly. Otherwise

    Exactly. Otherwise pedestrians would have to treat marked crossing points differently depending on if it’s reasonably close to a roundabout exit or not. Imagine teaching children how to cross and having to explain this distinction.

    Of course, as a pedestrian I’m still not going to trust my life to drivists stopping, nor teach children (mine are grown now, fortunately) to do so.

    Unnecessary complication. Try some flat pedals and you can move your foot around as much as you want. If you’re spinning up a hill, you’re unlikely to pull up effectively.

    They may as well say we don’t insure you in a locked vehicle. What secure anchor point can there be ?

    When the rear seats are folded forward, there’s usually a metal loop that serves as the catch for the latch. Sometimes it’s on the seat, sometimes on the car body.

    I’m not sure that “four in ten” and “almost always” mean the same thing.

    Six in ten were, presumably, not drunk.
