    srchar, some of that one

    srchar, some of that one looks quite alright, there are some armadillos ? not just paint, rights continuing at junctions, not that that is going to make any difference.  You are right about the parked cars.

    When you go on the streetview, if you turn to the right and keep going, you go back in time to before the route.  Spooky.

    For my new rohloff build I

    For my new rohloff build I will eventually go for tubeless, somewhat to minimise the puncture thing, as removing the wheel is meant to be a faff.  But mainly for low pressure, feel and comfort.  

    27.5 x 3 inch, because I can.

    I was a tad shocked, whilst driving me to a family funeral in London, that my brother told me that he used Tannus tyres on his single speed London commuter.  He seemed to get on with them, and of course no punctures.

    The automatic blaming of dead

    The automatic blaming of dead children seems a little bit wrong, but, you know, the power and control of the motoring industry.

    I believe that in the case of a cyclist killing a child on the road, the child would of course be absolved of any blame.

    There is a case for actually

    There is a case for actually enforcing existing mobile phone legislation.  We all know that a large percentage of those waiting motorists will have their faces buried in a smartphone, and it is very simple, if your engine is on you are driving.  I’m guessing it’s the same at schools, I know that during the morning school run, a significant minority of parents will sit in traffic on their phones with their children in the car, and those waiting around train stations, it’s almost universal.

    Now, if only someone could explain this to those strictly law abiding black cab drivers in their extreemly clean and efficient diesels.

    As far as I can tell 3 of the dead were on bicycles, or had cycled there to see the show.

    Chris King hubs are reportedly very loud, big on the angry bees, the woods are often alive with the sound of Hope hubs.

    The new Shimano XTR is apparently silent.  Mmmmm..
