  Crikey, that's close to double what I was hoping for.

  Dynamo routing, is that you?

  Rode into work late, during half term, mainly along the canal with flowers coming up around Kirkstall Abbey. Lovely! So few cars on the short road bits I had to do.

  Woo, that's @Tor ! Build thread here. Got black tyres & a silver Nitto seatpost now, which looks much nicer.

  I guess calling my Croix de Fer a CX bike is a bit misleading, though I use it for all kinds of off road stuff. I do use it for more or less everything as it's bombproof, & the weight includes a dynamo hub/lights etc.

  That is pretty good going. My road bike weighs around that, & it feels much more lively than my CX bike which sits around 11.5kg.

  I think you'll struggle to sell that here (bikes priced that high don't really move), but GLWS.

  Crikey, those pedals aren't cheap! How much does it weigh now?

  My CX bike weighs more than I'd like, but every time I look into lighter parts, it seems like a massive money pit.

  I've heard of ideas for making the roads smarter like that suggestion before.

  One idea people dream of is roads full of driverless cars (urgh) communicating so that none of them even need to stop at cross roads & it's all beautifully timed & efficient. This sort of stuff makes roads completely inaccessible to anyone not using that tech. That's not going to work.

  In the case of cyclists, taking the discussion back a step, it's really about segregating forms of transport. We're not there yet though, obviously.
