I tend to like something a little more there. A couple of hundred pages maybe.
Reading Libraries have a “Good Reads” thing, which are (mostly) enjoyable and informative.
Oddly, back in the early 00s, I got the Very Short Introductions to Terrorism, but lost it, I thought I had left it on the train, had to pay for it, fair enough. Found it down the side of the bed many months later, must have dropped it when reading in bed and fallen asleep.
I was very lucky in that, just before lockdown I had obtained 10 books, 9 reading, the other the Violet Bakery cook book, which were coming to an end just as Reading Central Library was opening up in it’s strange way. You can take books back, and use the hatch, they then go into quarantine for several days, and you can order books, no charge, and then book an appointment to pick them up at the service yard, with the books in a paper takeaway bag.
I did have to reread Richard Rhodes excellent Making of the Atomic Bomb as my lunchtime at work reading and very quickly read King of the World, David Remnik, on the train, I somehow owned it but hadn’t read it. Both Pulitzer prize winners, and it showed.

I always carry a book when out for a long ride, something to read while eating. Generally a library book, non fiction and relaviely small and light. 500 page hardbacks are not travelling books for me. Same for my ride train off road ride commute.

I have been very happy with my Topeak Turbibooster X.
Topeak quality, kind of pricey, but should last for many years.
My plus tyres needed it and diluted washing up liquid.
And I will be getting some Schwalbe Easy Fit at some point. Just because..
It’s our obsession, got to get the proper stuff.

I did want to post a picture capturing the feeling of zooming down a cliff face, but this image seemed more appropriate.
Any noise is of course coming
Any noise is of course coming from (hopefully unesassary) vibration, maybe something is resonating. This somehow needs damping. Tighten everything up a bit, maybe even a little more tension on the top cap on the forks.
A careful and light smear of Copper Lock betwwen pads and pistons wouldn’t hurt.
It was Edd’s go to on Wheeler Dealers. Ant is good but I miss Edd.
In their “New” series on Quest they seem to be doing UK available cars but in the US. Which is nice.

You are aware of the excellent “Audis in houses”?
Seems to be updated regularly.
Not as many new posts from AsEasyasRidingaBike, shame.

They dont seem to mention what ‘major impact’ the new temporary cycle lanes have had on local residents, just that there might have been ‘major impact’.

They have everything you need
They have everything you need for the rohloff, and lots of weird stuff that others don’t stock. And they will try hard to get it too.
I tend to save up my orders from them as there seems to be no small amount anyway that gets you free p+p. Fair enough.
It is almost before the pop
It is almost before the pop up cycle lanes existed there was no congestion, I mean ever.
Stuck in a jam on the M25, bloody cycle lanes…
