That’s why the cycliq make
That’s why the cycliq make the best cameras for cyclists. Battery life is good, the video is very clear (except in low light conditions) and the SD card storage is self-managing with it over-writing older videos. You can also mark a video to not be auto-overwritten, but I can never remember what button that is.
I don’t think trying to
I don’t think trying to confront drivers with their dangerous driving is going to achieve anything as they’ll either get very defensive or very aggressive (maybe both). Just go with sending it to the police.
There’s a bunch of cheaper Cycliq imitations around, but I don’t know how they compare. From what I can gather, there’s still no decent competitor to Cycliq which is a shame as they’re expensive and have their own quirks (why can’t I keep my front and back cameras showing the same time?).
Not really something you’d
Not really something you’d want to carry along with you, but this bearing press has a very satisfying *CLUNK* when you adjust the width.
The tool missing from most cylists tool bags is a pair of pliers. When that gear cable goes and you want to jury rig a get you home gear, what are you going to use (we carry a 5cm end of gear cable for the purpose) but also useful for jammed bike locks and for cutting cable ties and generally dealing with awkward loose things.Missing you say?
Here’s some of my saddle bag tools including a Gerber Dime pliers tool.
Here’s a nice one for anyone running disc brakes and can’t sort out rubbing after several attempts at caliper alignment. Works like feeler gauges between disc and pads when loosening / tightening calipers. Noise gone. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-pro-disc-brake-caliper-alignment-toolI’ve got a cheaper version of that tool – clips that you put on the rotor. Can’t be bothered to dig mine out, so here’s a generic pic.
Where did it all go wrong? After Our House?When they made a conscious (and announced) decision not to be a ska band any more and Suggs decided he had a soul voice. As an old fart I can well remember the sense of despair which greeted every album after about 1982.
Yep, pretty much.
As a fan of Madness (well, the earlier ska-based stuff), I can say that song is dire.
It might not help and do it, but this is the perfect excuse to add the Pedro’s Vise Whip and the Abbey Crombie to your tool collection.Cassette removal luxury.
Nice try, tempting me to buy more cycle tools, but my old chain whip has yet to let me down.
Luckily, I’ve never had a stuck lockring despite my heavy-handedness, though I’ve made the mistake of having one not tight enough which led to a slightly wobbly cassette and then a rear wheel locking up when the lockring got jammed against the frame. I’m puzzled as to how Rendel’s lockring got so stuck.
“Star Trekkin'” by The Firm, not many remember another record they had 5 years earlier, “Arthur Daley E’s Alright”.…and who remembers Mel Brook’s Hitler rap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpYQJkBQp0
Going back a bit further with novelty records, I happened across the only performance of Monster Mash with Boris Karloff on Shindig – unfortunately there’s a huge logo right across the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45fHh8TP8A

I don’t know why they don’t just put use a bit of hi-viz paint and maybe strap a bike helmet or two onto the buildings. Couldn’t the council put a bit of white paint on the road to prevent vehicles striking the buildings?
You forgot to post the image of weightlifter squirrel with its little dumb bell set?
Yes, but approaching from the right on a mini roundabout would not be “established on the roundbout” Effectively allowing an interpretation that leads to a game of chicken. If you can get onto the roadabout before the car coming from your right, you may not need to give way to them.The rules aren’t particularly clear with mini roundabouts – I prefer to reduce speed if I can’t see what’s approaching.
He had quite the acting career, really. Wasn’t he in The Naked Gun/Police Squad as well?Don’t forget The Towering Inferno too
it would be almost worth paying to see how quickly they can fit a Schwalbe Marathon plusI use Marathon Plus on the Vitus gravel everyday bike, and they’ve never been any trouble to fit- but I haven’t had to remove them since fitting except for the Hewitt replacement wheel after the collapsed rim
Keep the tyres and rebuild the bike around them.
I similarly had no trouble fitting them onto Mrs HawkinsPeter’s MTB when she was using it for commuting – even swapped them with off-road tyres on occasion.
Over-inflated?No, it’s just the way I’m sitting.
Seems unlikely that wtjs would over-inflate a tyre enough to cause that damage and I would expect over-inflation to cause a more dramatic failure with a noticeable hole in the outer. Even if the tyre was over-inflated, it still looks to be a manufacturing defect to me.
