I have bought from them many times – the problem you describe isn’t peculiar to them.

there are loads of wheels out there: this is but one that generally gets good reviews – it’s at the sort of price point that would be a worthwhile change, if you’re happy with other (cheaper) aspects of the bike and its upkeep.
Probably the wheels.

“Normal” – I understand what you mean – “how they were”. I always wonder if we could go back to the year 1900 and have our time again, is what we’ve got now (or had until recently), which is slowly becoming a heap of misery for drivers and all those around them alike, what we’d choose?

“Bike behind!” In as nice a tone as you can manage.
Most people are fine, appreciative even.I call even if there’s sufficient room to pass comfortably, just to avoid the “nice country walk but spoiled by cyclists whizzing past” Facebook posts appearing in the evening – what with us being so deadly, polluting, noisy and space-hungry and all.

Only skate boarders and war gamers got organised and did something about it.

Now I realise what’s being missing in my life!
where is the luminous city centre, the five smiling companions, the mountain trail, the sweeping coast road, with not a parking sign or a jam in sight? Such wonderful experiences await me, down at the dealership.
Or indeed, if they commute at
Or indeed, if they commute at all. A car in a big urban centre must be such a pain – occasionally I have to drive the width of Bournemouth and Poole – it’s a joyless, tiring experience.
It’s great that Toby from the Guardian was got the bug, let’s hope the Daily Mail now runs a similar article and then a Damascan editorial saying “over the years we may have given the impression that cyclists were a law-breaking, self-righteous, Lycra clad, red light jumping, social distance ignoring scourge on the law abiding, hard-pressed motorist, with millions of pounds squandered on cycle lanes… we now realise that there was not a jot or scintilla or truth in these claims…”
While lots of us are enlisting the current crisis as a platform for our beliefs, what we are all finding out currently is what in life is necessary and what is an extra. I’m pretty sure we will bungee right back to how things were before when it’s all over, but it would be nice if on the cycling/transport front that we didn’t. I’ve seen families out on bikes like never before, including even on my local A road – now we’ve all had a taste of that, let’s see how we can hold on to it. People might get to realise how nice their local area can be without excessive cars.
We’ve done well at re-purposing people and services to better resource the necessary. However I still can’t book a supermarket delivery for my in laws.
the brilliant all-out effort being made in hospitals can’t continue like this forever, so it remains vital to continue do other things to curb the spread. We’re not really out of this until an effective vaccine is rolled out.As I write, the worst in terms of deaths, for the UK is about to hit. I think some people are still having trouble believing it, that it could happen here.
ignoring health just for a moment, going purely on the economics, which is worse – risking another episode like the current one (economic cost nowhere near quantified), or a system of 10 day quarantine at all our ports? Honestly, I don’t normally go in for the close the borders stuff – I know how reliant we are just in health and social care on overseas recruitment.
It all gets a bit dystopian novel if the “immune and can prove it” idea takes hold.
The lockdown itself feels like some of my childhood winter Sundays – drab, very little to do, nowhere to go. Life, for many people was often like that – beyond work there weren’t the “cram every minute, fulfil every desire” days out, shopping centres, restaurants, flights, attractions, resorts. I don’t want to bring back that drab past. At the same time, all of the preceding and many more businesses have had no work or income and are struggling to contain overheads. It would be daft to apply traditional insolvency rules to this situation – a pointless merry go round of bankrupt sales.
the drop-off in hospital emergency attendances is a curious one; I’ve seen a “we’re still here” news item reflecting that very point for my hospital. Does that mean a tidal wave of delayed presentations, or has in some cases, the problem gone away without medical assistance? it needs study.
None of us wants to end up as the “but I thought it was just a mole/something I ate/ a migraine” camp. I’ve been through every psychosomatic symptom I can think up over the past 3 weeks – every twinge, my throat telling me I need a drink, my skin glowing after a bit of sun triggers the “I’ve got it” set of thoughts. I’m over it now.
I’ve been out on one of my
I’ve been out on one of my shorter runs this afternoon, and it was lovely – great to see so many walkers, families out cycling together that at all other times are suppressed by the presence of the car on country roads, going too fast and expecting everything and everyone to get out of their way or not be there in the first place. The few cars that were out didn’t seem in too much of a hurry, so well done most people for cutting out all those non-essential trips.
We’re all longing for this crisis to be over – is there any way that we can hold on to what’s been gained here?
You’re right to be cautious
You’re right to be cautious if you are choosey About what you want. I had a respray done at Mercian: I chose shade no 6, but it looks more like their no 45.
I don’t think BJ mean enamel in the sense of the finish being more robust than the others – but it is easier to touch-up of course – if they’ll sell or give you some touch-up.it’s not an essential journey, but you have to make the delivery trip to be sure, I’m afraid.

it’s not been a better time cycle or even walk or horse ride, but car- borne idiots unsurprisingly, yet surprisingly are still out there.
