Sufficient tread depth on tyres? How fast are you going that you’re worrying about aqua-planing?

Unfortunately gay marriage is not legal in all parts of the UK.Are you suggesting that don simon fbpe and Rich_cb don’t go to Northern Ireland if they want to take their relationship to the next level?
Can’t be arsed to catch up with what’s happened on this thread. Not only has someone invoked Godwin’s law, but even worse than that, we’ve got people seriously recommending books by Owen Jones.What do you think is so wrong about books by Owen Jones?

Listen, don’t mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right

When I see programmes from the 70s it seems to me that people were uglier back then and muscle definition didn’t seem to have been invented.However, I’ve recently been finding old rare groove/funk tracks on YouTube and damn, the music was so much better.

Prime wheels from Wiggle always seem very good value for money.

I don’t know why you’re not
I don’t know why you’re not just using some non-euclidean geometry to make the tyre fit.
Hope someone remembers to set up registration offices at all points of entry so visitors to the UK can register their bikes.What about at the north/south Ireland border?
I think he’s a bit guilty of lumping all drivers (and cyclists) together when really there’s a huge variation in people’s behaviour on the road. At the start of my commute home, I often filter between two slow or stationary lines of traffic on a dual carriageway (which goes next to a shared use path) and quite a few drivers move their cars to one side or the other to give me more room (which is nice).I do agree with the general principle that bad drivers are much worse than bad cyclists if only because their bad choices have way more impact (literally sometimes). I prefer to think that you have a spectrum of bad to good drivers and it’s really only the minority of motorists that cause problems, but as there’s so many more motorists than cyclists, we see bad driving more frequently.
I should have perhaps moved to your part of the world. Here in London, the drivers who are not a danger to themselves and to others are a minority. And no: it’s not ‘confirmation bias’, OK? 😛
I have uploaded two videos (near miss and a hit) here within the last week, so I wouldn’t say that west country drivers are any better than elsewhere. Well, maybe better than Essex drivers

IIRC wasn’t it Denmark? You’ll be able to turn right-on-red legally.

Many times have I slowed down and shouted “y’alright?” to someone stopped by the side of the road to be greeted in reply with “y’alright” and perhaps a nod. Too late to say “No, not hello… I’m asking if you need assistance!” as I’ve gone past in the second it’s taken to register and end up just laughing to myself, cursing being a Northener. Weirdest decline of help was from a guy who I rode past again 30km later as I looped around yet only a few km’s from where he was stopped but this time he was riding with a sledgehammer in one hand!That’s why I shout “You OK?” rather than “Alright me babber?” (and I’m not really that Bristolian).
Are you sure that wasn’t Peter Gabriel? Or maybe some kind of MC?
