at least you are ok. with any luck the bumper will just need clipping back on.
maybe a pannier full of dog food is quite a good safety device 🙂

I can’t read it due to the paywall, but if it’s about the rule 66 proposed changes, then it is very confusing. It’s the only bit of the proposed changes that I think they’re off the mark with. It all depends on your definition of a ‘narrow lane’, much like the vagueness of ‘leave as much room as you would a car’…
Ride in single file when drivers wish to overtake and it is safe to let them do so. When riding in larger groups on narrow lanes, it is sometimes safer to ride two abreast.

I enjoyed this loop clockwise on a crisp February day a few years ago. The climb up Lofthouse is a challenge, but great views across the moors when you get to the top. You probably would drive to a start point somewhere along the loop rather than go into Harrogate – maybe Brimham Rocks, as that’s worth a walk around on it’s own (charges to park if not NT member).

To be fair, most of the general news at the moment increases my stress levels.
I think that having at least some media coverage of this issue helps raise it’s profile with the authorities. I certainly thought it was useful to tell police the clip I submitted had been published – therefore arguing it was ‘in the public interest’ for them to do something about it.
I don’t think it’s road.cc’s job to fight the cause, we’ve got Cycling UK etc. for that. Although it would be interesting if they managed to interview a police spokesperson to get their response to the inaction that some forces are demonstrating.
Maybe a feature of the subscription could be a ‘hide NMoTD’ setting?!

Hopefully the driving ban will cover diggers too (can a 23yo, or any age, really earn £40k a year driving a digger?!)

I’m struggling to get the gist of this paragraph. Is the reporter suggesting it’s the wobbly cyclists and pedestrian homing motorbikes that Dorset is renowned for that are actually to blame?!

I had a look at my frame and still looks ok 10,000 miles later.
The cable slots on mine look further apart than on yours, but not as far apart as some of the pictures on here. It makes me wonder how those slots are cut at the factory? If it’s done by hand and mk1 eyeball, then perhaps there’s some variability introduced in the production that will make some frames more prone to cracking than others?

Good job you noticed that
Good job you noticed that before it went pop. It’s reminded me to go and have a look at my frame. I don’t think I would spot it unless I was specifically looking.
Although you’ve had a lot of use out of it, it’s still a failure that shouldn’t happen, so perhaps worth contacting Whyte.

ouch, that’s a bit pricey – I think I’d take my chances crashing into a bear, they look quite fluffy and soft, probably not too bad a landing!

Well I gave the bear bell a shot – rubbish.
I can see it might work for a mountain bike, but on a road/town bike there’s just not enough motion to cause it to ring. I have to dangle it from the end of the handlebar and wiggle the bars to get a reasonable ring, which isn’t going to work.
So I replaced my broken bell on the town bike with the venerable Widek 80mm ding dong. It’s big, heavy and loud. Plus doesn’t sound too agressive.
In my internet travels, I came across this shop that had the widest selection of bells I’ve ever seen – most with a sound clip too.

If you are concentrating on traffic on a roundabout, it’s easy to miss dropped kerbs to join cycle paths. They’re usually not easy to join from the road either – being primarily designed to facilitate where a cycle path crosses the road at right angles.
There’s been many a time when riding in an unfamiliar area I’ve thought, oh, that would have been a nice bike path. But I’d already missed the dropped kerb and not easy to stop in traffic to lug bike over kerb and verge.
