Very nce. I was outbid on that Argos when it sold as a whole bike in October (for around £300).

I find in most scenarios it best not to react. 9/10 when I've cought up with a close passer or phone using driver and suggested they take a bit more care they get defensive/aggressive. And I've never ever noticed anyone's driving improve after I've called them a dickhead.
As for bin-rage guy, I can understand his annoyance but none of his behaviour is going to achieve what he wants. The bin men will think he's a dickhead, most pedestrians, drivers and twitter users are going to think the same and tomorrow the bin wagon will be on the same route making the same stops. He'd be better contacting whoever is subcontracted to collect the rubbish and trying to get them to change/enforce their guidance to drivers. Or just chilling out and waiting a minute until it's safe to go round. Inconveniences are going happen and sometimes we're someone else's inconvenience.

I like this 25 1/2" Dave Lloyd Concept in St. Albans just not sure about the 650c rear wheel.

No longer commute along the A11 but when I did (4 years ago) it was pretty horrific. Even when the cycle path opened it was often litter and pedestrian strewn. Also had to be wary of cars turning left into the cycle lane at junctions.

Jesus kin Christ! Biblical out there: face shredding hail storm, mad gustiness, zero visibility, 2" surface water, non-working brakes and some poor guy being attended to by a paramedic in the middle of Dalston Lane after being knocked off his motorbike. Oh, and an Uber driver honking to get past said paramedic. The guy was talking and moving, so hopefully not too serious. ...

Spent over an hour fighting with a pair of Jack Brown / Planet X Ruffy Tuffy's last night. After two pinch punctures and some thumb busting, three tyre lever action, I finally managed to get them to submit.
They roll nearly as nicely as the Vittoria Corsa they replaced but #pleasegoddontletthempunctureintherain
Quality is nowhere near that of the Corsa but its £30 a pair Vs £30+ each. Puncture protection/tread thickness feels hopeful. I'm running them at 110psi in the hope it'll stretch them a bit.
One of many middle aged men in East London.
Nonowt on the Retrobike forum too.
