    Last time I went, it at least seemed to be no longer mandatory.

    After smoking, they can tackle the puddles of dog pee on the pavement.

    I have knee pain occasionally. It used to happen more when I had a single-speed. I can usually resolve it by using lower gears to spin more for a week or so. Ride slower, but keep the cadence up, 80 as a minimum.

    If I had burning pain even off the bike after trying that, I’d probably take two or three days off cycling, take Ibuprofen (Naproxen), and ice it at least twice a day.

    Local to me: 3 injured after multi-vehicle crash in Downtown Peoria.

    I cycle through this intersection occasionally, although I more often cross Main on Madison, one block closer to the river.

    The speed limit on both roads is 30 MPH.

    I’m riding to a block from here tomorrow morning for coffee!

    Tempted to get him a sweary birthday cake like in The Thick Of It.

    FWIW, I thought the mug was funny. I’ve got 2 brothers and we all take the piss out of each other a lot.

    I’m reminded of when my sons bought me this mug for Christmas when they were teenagers. Baller.

    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.

    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.
