Blackburn 3.0 and 4.0. The clip I was referring to in my post on the other thread you wrote on is for clipping onto clothes. It may not look like it from the photo on Wiggle but when detached from the bracket the light has a clip for clothing/bags. Loads of rear lights have these.

To be honest I don't think it's that bad (the actual footage I mean - youtube is pants). Perhaps slow it down/put more frames in. The main reason (I think) the footage is so jumpy is because the changes between frames are so different...if you see what I mean. It needs more in between.

Oh it was so cold! Sorry I didn't see you....you're the chap with the blue BJ I once glimpsed on my commute a few months ago, right?

Good memory! No worries. It was pretty damn chilly this morning. I imagine you were too busy thinking something along the lines of "shit it's cooooold....when are these lights going to change??!" Looks like I better leave a lot later to up my spot count!

vic - wrapped up warm and waiting patiently at the lights on Goswell Rd

These are very bright and have a strong clip for bag attachment.

Ye bastard.

Seeing as you clearly did some searching to get here I'll save the "use the fucking search function" response and recommend a Blackburn 3.0 or 4.0. Both are pretty cheap, waterproof, highly visible and the batteries last forever. Most rear lights have a clip though so there's plenty to choose from.

I feel Like I know you or I've looked at your trainers before. Do you reside on any hipster forums?

I gotta lot of respect for that build you're doing Ed. She definitely wants a racing bike then? I couldn't get mine to go anywhere near one. I ended up stripping and rebuilding an old Raleigh Caprice. She had to have it in Tiffany Aqua. :( Ohhh.

My lady would love something like that Caprice! Did you get it from fleaBay? And how much did it cost all-in-all? I'm trying to steer her away from Pashleys and the cheaper Gitane look-a-like. She ain't feeling racing bikes unfortunately so it'll have to stay classy and "continental".

I had to UrbanDictionary what "belm" meant. I feel enlightened. And stupid.

I can't see it. :-(

I get this sometimes. Any reason why images won't load up sometimes?

I'll have my mobile on me dude if you want to catch up and can bare listening/decyphering my shit directions.

If god made a tyre that was any more pleasant to fit than a refuse, he kept that shit for himself!

Everything scott said was true. they are some of the nicest tyres ever to fit..so grippy!!

So they're not a bitch to put on? I have weak thumbs...

Nice to meet and chat to yet more lovely peeps I hadn't met or chatted to before last night. Hope everyone got home safely, yadda yadda yadda.

Emergency post Emergency post: THIS RIDE IS NEXT WEEK YOU DIVS. CHECK THE DATE!!!!!

I thought it was starting to sound a bit suspicious - I think Dylan thinks it's tonight too...

Wools any mild danger has already been avoided where possible... the places i stacked it were normal pavements ferchrissakes...evil bastards..

Yeah, I knew that! Whatevs, like. :s What...a...chump! Cheers dude. You just deprived the bagel shops of my £3 though. I hope you feel bad.

-1 to the gator skins, they are awful in the wet.

Aren't Gators designed for wet/wintery conditions?? I never push myself too hard when it's wet out but I feel pretty confident on my Gators. I guess that'll all change when I eventually stack it!

Harsh on the tyres /wheels / ass in some places but two of us got through it without problems (though two pavements were annoyingly slippery after the shit weather and I stacked it!

Phil, am I going to die tonight? Give it to me straight. Will a little bitch like me make it through to the other side?

Looks like it gawn rain tonight. :(

simple answer: aerospoke

I like where you're coming from.

531: Awesome
Fiffy: Not so awesome

I'm disappointed. I was expecting another thread about Shinscar's arse. :(

I'll be there at 9 fella. Every minute I'm left waiting a pound is knocked off (each tyre). The customer is always right! :)

Pedicabs/rickshaws are mildly annoying but they're too slow to really bother me. It's the lazy pricks sat in the back that bother me more. Walk you lazy bitches!

I too like cargo bikes. I think they're kinda cool and I'd probably buy one if I wasn't so broke. I do buy a lot of shit though...

Yep, that was pretty cold. Was only there for half an hour. My toes is freeeezin'!

I'll take one of them there bracelets. Merci.

for what its worth. I do this wherever possible, precisely to avoid this kind of nasty suprise.

(not that this means it is not the responsibility of the council to sort their roads out).

I try do the same (mainly to save my arse from getting wet) but a lot of the time it's just not possible. Especially when there's a constant stream of traffic right next to you. Plus, you'd come a cropper eventually. Zig-zagging around the millions (OK, hundreds/thousands) of puddles on your trip to wherever you're going just isn't realistic and is going to result in you slipping all over the gaff. My point - no pot holes, fewer problems.

Why shouldn't every pot hole be fixed? If it's a danger it shouldn't be there. Why am I paying my council tax then? Hippy posted various URLs above. It's clearly an issue. HTFU does not apply here. MultiGrooves shouldn't be paying out twice (council tax and his fucked up wheel/self).

I don't know how fast MultiGrooves was riding but not even adequate bike lights would have shown what was hiding under that standing water.

It's not the same as a branch falling on the road. You'd see the branch on the road.

A network of tracks/trails is not the same as a road on which you commute to work.

What is this fucking America? First thing anyone says is sue sue sue! This is the attitude that has massively raised insurance premiums and made a lot of small community run activities impossible to run due to massive insurance costs.
Sorry to sound like a cunt but you ran into a pothole on the road whilst riding with in inadequate light, sounds to me like a fair proportion of blame lies with you. You got a smashed up wheel and no serious injuries so you should count yourself lucky. If you'd been seriuosly injured and needed £1000s of medical help then sue the council but if its only a smashed fron wheel then HTFU and take some responsiblity for your actions.

Bullshit. And why wasn't the road well lit? Even if it was well lit, standing water on roads hides what's underneath. What are people supposed to do? Avoid puddles altogether? Get a grip.
