@Gd29 Redshift regularly have sales with 25% off, so you should be able to pick them up for under £40 at some point

@SVXY Yet again it's highly impressive how are you know the exact circumstances of this incident, now down to the exact type of footwear Ms.Tanton was sporting at the time. There are numerous types of all-terrain/hiking sandals that have far better grip than a standard pair of trainers. And once again do explain how having shoes without gaps in the uppers would have prevented Dick from driving straight into her from behind? No actually, don't bother.

@SVXY Of course because cycling on a 60mph road is far more dangerous than cycling in a 30mph zone and you need footwear with the strongest grip to react quicker if needed

@SVXY So sandals are permissible footwear for cycling if you're riding at 15 mph in a 30 mph zone but they are not permissible footwear for cycling if you are riding at 15 mph in a 60 mph zone? I'm afraid this is how trolls always give themselves away because clearly no human being with the capacity to operate a computer with sufficient adroitness to post a reply could genuinely be that stupid.

mdavidford It says you can ride 2 abreast and must have consideration for other road users. So if you ride three or more abreast you could be prosecuted for careless cycling with your inconsideration for other road users under the highway code used as evidence by the CPS

I’ve got a G-Line. I quite like the look of some of that bling. I can’t imagine any of it will be cheap though. :( It’s already quite an expensive bike.

@SVXY It does not say you can't ride three or more abreast. It does not say that to do so would be inconsiderate. I'm afraid your opinion that it would be has no particular legal status.

@SVXY Rule 66 of the highway code says you can ride two abreast but to also 'be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups.' It does not say you can ride three or four abreast which would not be considerate of the needs of other road users. As the highway code is used by prosecution lawyers as evidence to convict in Road Traffic Act offences cases you certainly could therefore be prosecuted and convicted for careless cycling if cycling three or four abreast

@SVXY This is a curious tactic - rebutting your own argument with your very next sentence.

Hairy Brooks…
I liked the strange hairy Brooks saddle on the Brooks/Fizik stand and the fact that that prototype Quintana was actually made of wood!
Those Lezyne pumps were a work of art, I already have a request in for a track pump and a road drive pump!
Hairy Brooks
yeah, ’twas mighty cool. pity you can’t get one unless you’re a top Brooks dealer… they wouldn’t give us one. I did get a Fi:z’ik (or whatever) spirit level though, not much use for me as i have my saddle pointing slightly down. anyone want it? it’s the perfect cyclist’s DIY accessory…
All I Blagged
Was some Nik Wash samples, oh, and of course lots of bits of Torq bar, Clif bar, etc etc.
I also liked the look of that Fizik Antares saddle, I even liked the bright orange of the test ones, that wouldn’t stop me blagging one if that is the intention!
I got a Yorkie!
Which I didn’t get to eat…
Someones Packed Lunch?
I assume, as I didn’t notice the Nestle performance food stall…
heh heh heh…
They probably secretly own all those sports nutrition brands… not really.
No, a lot of the distrubtors know that bike types like sweeties and they have bowls of them to give out – my kids like ’em even more though
I got a Yorkie too
and a fudge bar. forgot about that. they were to keep me going on the long journey home, though to be honest i’d scoffed them before i even got near oxford… that’s why they call me captain willpower.
I need to pay more attention…
when free food is being handed out. Although I did return to the fish and chips and mushy peas line a couple of times, followed by steamed sponge pudding and custard and then stilton and biscuits. Maybe my food radar was a little dulled by that point!
Mushy peas
Unexpectedly chalked off another life first at CORE… never had mushy peas before, green aren’t they? Deelicious too!
