I have complained to them in
I have complained to them in the past, by phone and letter. Never had a reply to be honest I doubt they have got past using crayons yet.It does explain a lot, I tend
It does explain a lot, I tend to find the problems are worse at weekends when they may be using agency or part time drivers.If it’s any consolation, they
If it’s any consolation, they are at least consistent and are total arseholes to motorcyclists and drivers too!Try having a look at these.
Try having a look at these. You can order them without the OS and a separate DVD to install yourself.My stepson has the NNB13 (I think) and I must admit I am very impressed and a little bit jealous!!
The powers that be are scared
The powers that be are scared of putting VED on petrol because of the effect on inflation.Around my way the towpaths
Around my way the towpaths are generally shared use. Therefore to my mind all users should be respectful to others needs.That said surely common sense is needed and if someone decides to put a Strava segment on a towpath you will run the risk ultimately of being legislated against, because of the lack of consideration of someone.
If someone knows how to get the segment on the Wey Navigation removed between New Haw and Addlestone could they have a go?
iPlayer is a strange beast
iPlayer is a strange beast sometimes.Generally if you are watching on a pc via the BBC website eligible content is available for one week after transmission. However if the programme is part of a series say 8 episodes, episode 1 may be available for 9 weeks but episode 8 will only be online 1 week.
The above can go out of the window if you are using Sky, Virgin Media or another ISPs box to access iPlayer, as you are then at the mercy of what the ISP has made available at their end.
I did read somewhere that the BBC are to increase capacity some time so that content will be available for longer, from the attached link it does appear that the series catch up option I mentioned above will be ending.

Finally found this little gem
Finally found this little gem also from the OPI ride down the canal towpaths regularly, I shout from at least 100m then 50 etc on your left or right, if they make no attempt to move or move across into my line I don’t move or slow down, if they do then I will always slow and say thanks. I don’t blame kids under 10ish or dogs. A couple of summers ago I shouted at the top of my voice to a fisherman who had one of this great white fishing poles across the path I was well over 100m away he looked straight at me and carried on doing his thing, so I ran straight over his pole, lovely crack. I consider myself to be considerate to others in every way, however one chance is all you get as that is all I will get from a lorry.. However ref the headphones and walking, let’s talk about idiotic cyclists who wear them..idiots, far more so than walkers on a canal towpath.230548 wrote: There are also
There are also a great many ‘look how expensive my bike is’ types out there who have carried there insular aggressive car habits into the biking worldI think I encountered one of them this morning, when riding my motorcycle to work.
Two cycle gear wearing occupants in a Silver Range Rover, the driver just chopped me out of the left hand lane.
If I had done it when I am driving I would expect to cop an earful of abuse.
The OP is also the individual
The OP is also the individual that admitted on this forum to causing criminal damage to a fishing rod.With his/her latest utterances is it any wonder that cyclists get a bad press.

Isnt it mostly flat, there arent any hills down that neck of the woods. If Boris can do it…Why is the area between Clandon and Dorking/Leith Hill called Surrey Hills then?
Box Hill must need it’s name changing soon too!

Having had a bit more time to think about this. People in some places are calling for cyclists to be registered like cars and motorcycles. This guy has given them a promotional video.Just a thought.

You can always learn something, even if it is only how not to do that something!However he should perhaps read the Highway Code and the bit about pedestrian’s priority.
