Anyone? Please don't let my bike be stolen or make me resort to getting something shite from Amazon.

My office have installed stupid new bike racks where the only locking point is through the wheel.
To get round this I need a chain lock to reach the frame.
Sold secure gold chain lock required. Doesn't need to be fancy - just tough.
Collection from London
Thanks

a surfboard on the roof sucks for travel and fuel consumption

...looks pretty cool on the roof of a Saab 900 though.

Just another reminder that life in Singapore requires one to take the rough with the smooth.

Are you planning on running a consistent deficit? 1k cals seems high but guessing thats bc of the cycling?

No definitely not - I'd be too grumpy. Probably 300-400 deficit is more realistic/sustainable. I'm not looking to turn things around in a short time frame necessarily.

Your example just shows that a little blowout is healthy - you feel like you've had a treat and you are back to good habits almost immediately. Niceeeee

Combination of holiday, covid, back injury and achilles tendonitis all in the space of 2 months has meant I've put on 4kg over that time.
Not the end of the world but the hard work between Jan-June has all been undone.
50k on my bike yesterday and 1000kcal deficit yesterday, which I'm feeling today but I'll settle into a routine with a healthy regular deficit.
Yoga and core workout this morning.
Bike again tomorrow.
Back to it...!

My first time with hydraulic. Which bolts do you mean?

Trying to adjust TRP Hyrd brakes so that the pads align. Im used to having screws to adjust alignment but can’t see them on these brakes. I’ve googled but can’t work it out. Can someone help?

Autotrader was a very unenjoyable experience so I'm back. £7500

I had my bath towels ripped to shreds on the washing line by a couple of enthusiastic young pups. I was quite annoyed at the time but what are you gonna do?

Then attach those pannier onto a shallow (racing) trolley, two on each side.

This is the content I came for. 100% will be trying this. Salutes

ChatGPT is a cracking idea. Thanks Howard - all of the above is really useful

I think the art meets sport thing is often problematic. I've worked with parkour athletes in the past who are disgusted by the idea of parkour/freerunning/ADD being mentioned under the banner of sport. They had no interest in 'formalising' the activity because part of the beauty of it in their eyes was the underground-ness of it, which is why the NGB was slow to form and struggled to secure significant investment from Sport England.
I would assume break dancing falls into a similar bucket (hat) and explains why the quality of competitions was fairly low - a chunk of the community wouldn't be seen dead at the Olympics.

When you get going, it'll be fine. Even if things don't go into their forever space initally. Keep the faith.

It seems so weird seeing that room with stuff in - it's going to be double awesome when everything is in its right place and you feel like you took it from a beautiful space to your beautiful space

My partner is a contractor (outside IR35).
She's pregnant. She won't be eligible for/accessing any maternity benefits, as I understand it.
Am I (as a full-time, PAYE employee), entitled to the parental leave that she won't be accessing? i.e. could I take 9months parental leave, for example?
I've looked online and it seems a bit unclear.
I know the obvious answer is to ask HR, but I'd like to be a bit forarmed beforehand.
TIA

Also sea bream sounds bloody lovely. I'll take the above learnings/advice on board!

By no means up to the standard of (frankly anyone else in) this thread but I got this little bbq for £3 in a sale.
I’ve had three little bbqs in the last week and a half (cooking for 2-4people) and I am loving the simplicity of having less space than I’m used to.
Yesterday was
Cumberland sausage
Korean style gochujang chicken
Sweet peppers
Bulgar wheat
Basic salad with nice tomatoes and a mint and coriander dressing

Just wanted to add something at the more basic end of the spectrum for balance and to say that even on a little bbq with no lid(!), I’m having a lovely little time

Are you and Owl in ca(hoots)?

(No need to reply. I have no skin in this game and frankly don't care. I just wanted to make a rubbish pun)

Thank you and good night.

In Brazil...8 years ago...

Price drop to £7650 ONO
Will move elsewhere after the weekend, as I need to get it sold before the insurance runs out

Thanks both! It really is a brilliant car.
Price drop to £7700 ONO

It's not a prediction but I just checked stopthetories for my area and it's as tight as a tiger. Hopeful but not confident...
