    Go under 28 minutes for a 10.

    Go under 2:25 for the 52 mile route of the Great Manchester Cycle.

    Get out with the club as many Sundays as possible.

    If I manage to switch workplaces to somewhere that’s a good commuting distance, all the better.

    Dunno but I’ll be interested in keeping an eye on this thread, since I can see myself buying one at some point. Laid-back seat tube? Short reach on the handlebars?

    I have the Paul Smith Rapha city riding jacket. Doesn’t seem like a commuting item to me though, very close-fitting and good when hunched down on the bars.

    As stated above, the quality is really good, and it’s kept me dry and comfortable in some truly biblical weather conditions.

    Had to revisit this thread as I passed just this type of individual tonight, on his phone. He caught me up at the lights, no longer on the phone, but looking down at his screen, with big music headphones on instead! Oh and yes, he ran the red.

    Ah, I saw the story on gofundme about a group buying one of Keith’s bikes. Even better that it was someone here.

    When you give him the clipless pedals, tell him that it’s also necessary to “just tie the end of this rope round your seat tube, and I’ll hold the other end – just for your safety, obviously!”

    As for the fibre flare light, I quite like them!

    That trike looks awesome!

    I ride for fitness, club runs and sportives, and I’d take them in your position. Besides, I seem to recall you live in Greece don’t you? So with Greek weather, nice summer wheels will see a lot of use!

    I don’t cycle commute, so
    I don’t cycle commute, so generally when I see ninja cyclists I’m driving home. It never ceases to amaze me – the last one I saw was not just in black, no lights, on phone, but with hood up, riding on the wrong side of the road, right where an oncoming cyclist would be! In fact I saw two lads, one sat on the handlebars for a lift, do just this (minus phone) and, wobbling along, caused a nicely-lit, high-vis commuter crash into them. Just a low-speed thing that resulted in some bad language, but still bad form.

    I tend to resign myself to the sort of response you got and usually don’t bother saying anything. When I have done, they have earphones in and probably don’t hear me anyway.

    Lol @russyparkin – quick thinking there!

    Last night actually, I had just gone through a junction near home. Lights everywhere causing a bit of glare, lots of rain and water reflections etc, and I suddenly realised that a woman had done that thing of crossing a road a lane at a time and was right by my right front. I could only see her head. Luckily I was only doing about 12mph. Don’t think she realised the danger though.

    My dad had a magnet in his tin, which was the worst thing ever because it meant the entire contents could be lifted out in a single magnetised lump!

    Not surprised you’re excited, that sounds awesome!

    LOL at getting good at screwing up…

    In all seriousness, I think you’re right not to underestimate the value of presenting your CV properly and making an effort with the little things. I’m sure they see a lot of fast riders who don’t think/bother to look and act professionally.

    Congratulations!

    Email me the picture and your address and I will have a look at what I have.

    Result! The spare bolt you sent fits, so the cage/bottle/attached mini-pump on the top tube no longer wander into the path of the passing crank! Hurray!
