I spend my entire salary on cycling, including not eating and living in a tree.You’d be surprised how much free food you can find on the ground around trees. The only problem is how to keep a stockpile of it safe to see you through the winter.
What is ‘soft’ porn exactly?Is it porn thats just really very tired, and would just like to cuddle instead?

apart from cycle lanes (a guess) what wd be the top 3 improvements to road infrastructure that cyclists wd want?For me, it’s not so much about the infrastructure as it always seems so poorly thought out in the UK with cycle lanes that don’t have priority over side junctions and that can stop abruptly leaving the cyclists in a dangerous position.
I’d rather we tackled the attitude and behaviour of the dangerous drivers, so my top 3 would be:
- presumed liability
- strict traffic law enforcement
- education about how and why cyclists ride as they do (e.g. two abreast, not using poor infrastructure, taking the lane to dissuade overtakes etc.) and how drivers should behave near vulnerable road users
Personally, I’d also like to see a “left-on-red” rule for cyclists (and possibly other vehicles if they can do it safely) and also a legal right to go either way down one-way roads (priority to the signed direction of traffic flow though).

I think you’re missing the
I think you’re missing the subtle sub-texts hidden in the lengthy arguments for and against helmets, which is really just a proxy for arguing about how much we want to follow a leader versus forging our own destiny.
If you don’t read between the lines, then you’re just consuming propaganda.
I always thought the “.cc”
I always thought the “.cc” stood for communist comrades.
But yeah, cycling club would make more sense.

my suggestion wasnt aimed at prosecutions so much as gathering evidence to pressure for road layout changes. some roads have built in hazards that cd be changed with a jcb and a truck load of tarmac. there are qualified road safety specialists who cd produce (probably expensive) reports based on public concerns / evidence. lives v money.I see.
Unfortunately, that sounds like trying to get local councils to look at evidence about safe road layouts which seems to be like kryptonite to most councils.
Councils don’t listen to cyclists’ concerns currently, so I doubt that they’d listen to cyclists with hours of video footage.
I think it’d be interesting
I think it’d be interesting and could catch out a lot of drivers, but I think it’d be best to check with the relevant police first as they’d have to review all the submitted footage. I guess the camera operator would need to first review all of the camera footage to find any suspected offences and then raise a separate report for each one, but the local police might not be set up to deal with tens/hundreds of incidents per day. Also, the police may have no interest in prosecuting every single vehicle that jumps red lights or encroaches ASLs.
I’m not sure if you’d be required to put up CCTV notices for the recording of a public space and you’d also need to consider that someone could probably steal the camera quite easily.
But aren’t adjustable spanners continuously adjudtable, rather than having discrete size settings? So it wouldn’t matter whether you are using metric or imperial based nuts.Woosh?
Its OK, Fluffy Kitten of Tindalos was thinking about those special (great old!) ones, which are designed for non-Euclidean space
You learn something new every day, I thought that was the space at the back of the sofa where all your loose change disappeared into.
Is that what is studied by students of sofology?
Well, I got my last sofa from Sofology and have had a hell of a time fitting it into my 3+1 dimensional universe.
You should have got an oscillation overthruster, then you could have folded it through the eighth dimension so it would fit 🙂
I thought of trying that, but Aldi had run out of vector bosons.
If you can’t get any, you can just make some out of tiny bits of string
I would’ve, but the squirrels keep stealing the string. I don’t even know what they’re doing with it

You can sometimes get away with using an imperial adjustable spanner with Whitworth bolts, but it is advisable not to try and use one for metric.Can I use an imperial adjustable spanner for BSA bolts or do I have buy another type?
I have heard that some people do this, but a thin shim may be required. Although I have heard of some adjustable spanners that fit different bolt standards by turning the spanner upside-down.
I think you only need the shims for the round-headed bolts.
Turning the spanner upside-down is recommended for when the installer was left-handed.
Thanks for posting those –
Thanks for posting those – interesting. (Shame we can’t ‘like’ a Forum post).
I find it surprising that 40% (173) were unspecified but that figure would presumably drop if/when they interview the cyclists involved.
