    A friend of the driver

    A friend of the driver apparently believes it could happen to anyone…?

    I always wondered why the very weird Lynchian version was never released on multiple director’s cut.

    I read all of the books during my first period of unemployment, from the library.  I thought they went downhill a bit after the first few.

    My commute takes me between towns and villages.

    I do far more miles as a utility cyclist than a recreational one.

    You seem to be making a lot of assumptions.

    Only a years ban.

    He drove in this manner with  his children in the car.

    I do not drive, but I would ask the drivers, why is it that for some drivers the first reaction seems not to be slow down, pull over and sort things out?

    Why is it that progress must always be made?

    I’m trying to move, so I can

    I’m trying to move, so I can miss out the train journey to work, and the supermarket will no longer be easily walkable.  I’m properly thinking of a bicycle trailer, now I’m probably going for a shockinly expensive one, but there are some bargains out there.

    I was impressed at the cost, if not left wondering of the quality, of those on offer at Manomano.

    “Ullo John! Gotta new motor?”

    Though doing a quick bit of research came up with a bicycle version (well advert anyhow…)

    And there are some very “Retro” helmets featured…

    I pity them in the way they are insulated from the world, that it all about getting to the destination (often as seemingly fast but not, as possible) rather than the journey, and at the moment the lack of birdsong and the smell of spring.

    Drop them down your nose a bit.

    Same when wearing a mask.

    Mine might mist up a bit when stopped, I leave a little more of a gap to the eyes which helps, but they clear quickly when I start moving.

    The foggyness and mistiness if it’s one of theose mornings will gradually get on the glasses, regular stopping and an Oakley bag in the pocket for a good wipe and then clear vision for a moment or two.

    I try and wait until it is safe, and safe enough for me to not stop as they pass.

    I may be going somewhere important…

    Thanks Dave, I’m convinced

    Thanks Dave, I’m convinced that the bridge wasn’t wearing enough Hi Viz.

    And I also find it strange that the policeman would think that the church’s insurance would even think about paying for repairs to the wall.  Seems to me that the driver of the motor vehicle may be somewhat responsible there.

    Good luck mate.

    World wide bike boom, allied to Covid closures of factories, shipping container weirdness and to top it all Brexit.

    I have been waiting since August on a warranty replacement on my Surly Ogre.

    How do you find the plier

    How do you find the plier function, their standard pliers (in silver…) are on my “to get” list?

    My workshop Park pliers are only for removal and I carry multiple spare master links and worry that if needed I might not be able to remove the one on the chain when REALLY needed.

    Or that any form of enforcement of the law in relating to illegal speeding, with the siting of speed cameras, can only be considered with multiple incidents involving fatalities.

    Can you imagine the outcry if aviation or rail approached illegal behaviour in this manner, that there MUST be multiple cases of deaths before even enforcement was thought about, at one location at that.
