  Surely they're just parading Janssen in front of the cameras to try to provoke some sort of transfer interest? He was on the bench last week too. Is he of any practical use other than as a training ground dummy or has the Sheriff worked another miracle of Levy's no-transfer policy and made him first team ready?

  THIS is a great help, thanks v. much.

  She's using Cycle to work for the purchase, so i think she needs to buy from an actual bike shop, unless you know otherwise?

  I've found the 'easy guide' with all the options. More straight-forward than I thought.

  Dear Brompton Owners - HELP!

  My wife wants to buy a Brompton for her daily commute from East to Central. Unlikely to use it for much else, maybe the occasional local Sunday jolly. She carries a massive suitcase-sized handbag.

  Apart from needing a front rack and mudguards, what else do i need to know about buying a Brompton???

  I've tried to convince her to go SS but i think she wants a 3-speed. Any reason to go for 6-speed?

  What are the other options, apart from bars and saddle?

  And does it matter where I buy?

  all sensible suggestions and help welcome.

  Did anyone receive a 20% discount email that they're not going to use?

  [Or are sonos discounts just mythical internet viral unicorns?]

• Food bank charity looking for help from cyclists

  Hello. It sounds like a viable solution.

  I volunteer with a food waste charity that collects from market stalls and delivers to homeless shelters, on foot. Once suppliers are on board, the main work involved is logistical - organising the volunteer rota of who does which days at which site.

  I think there is a practical question of how different people want to carry food on their bike. As pizzarat suggests, using a rack might be preferable for some people than towing a trailer, so it may depend on how much food there is and what size / kind of container it would need to be moved in. Maybe offering a 'delivery' type box / backpack would be a solution? It might encourage more people to get involved, if they knew they only had to collect and drop off without having to tow a trailer?
