    I used to have them. A pain

    I used to have them. A pain to get on first time and then off. But second time and subsequent is ok.

    You can get lezyne heavy duty levers and they also do a proper metal one that is smooth and rounded. Obviously you can’t use the metal with any old wheel !

    Decent tubeless tyre,

    Decent tubeless tyre, dynaplug micro pro, a small sealant top up bottle and a pump.

    I found Vittoria with the graphene compound good if you want inner tubes.

    Is this some sort of spoof

    Is this some sort of spoof site like https://southendnewsnetwork.net/

    The text started off ok and then went into victim blaming mode -drivers are inattentive; solution make cyclists accommodate this.

    Do you really need a 300 lumen rear light? That sounds mega bright to me.

    The video – here’s a tip don’t create a video of 2 rapid close passes and claim the driver could not see the cyclist due to the driver’s appalling road positioning and awareness

    Always wear a helmet – it will keep you safe unless the driver is trying to unlock their iphone.

    On reviewing the footage, I

    On reviewing the footage, I could see in fact that the nearside wheels were almost touching the centre line, but at speed, it did not feel like it. Not sure what the driver coming the other way thought !

    Certainly will be taking more primary there next time if I can be near or at the limit.

    Had a new one today. 30mph

    Had a new one today. 30mph down hill in a 30. Got overtaken on a narrowish road with oncoming traffic ! Wasn’t in primary as I didn’t think it necessary, though perhaps it was a good idea I wasn’t, as the driver seem hell bent on squeezing by (and of course tailgating the next vehicle).

    It was a civil claim and not B&W as you suggest.

    Because you can only keep

    Because you can only keep people locked down for so long; rishi can’t afford the wage bill; airlines are kicking off;  rishi needs tax income; we need tourists and because we are all brainwashed left wingers so Johnson’s Dad can go on holiday can make an important, vital inspection of his property.

    Being on a plane is low risk due to the industrial strength filters and the rapid injection of new air, the way air circulates vertically (if you are in row 1 you can’t get infected by row 20). Nothing can be done about people coughing over you or hand to mouth transfer.

    There used to be a place in Lewes that did those and you could get a handle for it or get a fitting to swivel it.
    Not sure if the Lewes place is still going.

    Bad idea.

    Bad idea.

    I borrowed one from Waitrose once.

    There was so much flex, it acted as a brake. Also a bit bumpy

    Something like this instead https://www.burley.com/product/flatbed/

    Can’t remember which article

    Can’t remember which article it was on here, but the general ‘defence’ to the photo you posted is “the driver of the van cannot tell how fast you as the cyclist is going” (presumably because they do not have an accurate speedo in their vehicle).
