Spotted. The lovely lady with a lovely baby blue something-or-other bike on Greenwich Park's Croom's Hill.

Thank you very much for stopping and lending me your spanner set. I was an idiot and had taken those speed bumps/launch pads waaaay too fas tand mashed my rear wheel into the chainstay.

You're great! On here?

[Is there a thank you thread?]

Should have asked for her number....

The top of Baker Street where Regents Park joins has been closed which is very helpful for cyclists wanting to go through the West End after a few laps of Regents Park. No room to even squeeze a bike through so pavement riding is necessary.
I am still trying to figure out what you are supposed to do round Buckingham Palace and Bird Cage Walk. Again, cycling on the pavement may be the only sensible option

Tried turning out of the outer circle at the mosque?

Tried to do my swim tonight, but pool was too busy to hit a rythmn as all were slower than me.

Got 1750m done and think that breathing both sides will work out.

Thinking about looking into swimming in Hampstead's ponds...

You say you breathe every 4/6 . Which is it mostly ?

Mostly 6, switch to 4 when I am in need of more oxygen.

I have the chance for a long swim tonight so will try 5 strokes and both sides.

Aiming for a 2.5k swim, with half front crawl and half breast stroke. For me that is a lot.

(BTW: thanks for the replies.....)

New to this thread...

been swimming more since I packed in the commuting due to length of journey - distance was not the problem, just boredom at the dreadful route and amount of time it took. (17 miles eachway)

anyway.....

cracked my front crawl last week - did 1km in a 25m pool without stopping. Had previously only managed 250m max before switching to breast stroke.

now to the questions:

I can breathe on both sides, but prefer to breath to the left and do so on every 6th or 4th stroke. should I adapt to a shorter cycle and use both sides? or just stick to what works?

what is the general opionion of nose clips?

This is in the safety and product info leaflet that comes with a BB.

Rules out a few hot countries from their market.

i used to park there a lot. you can find some good spots with plenty of footfall to lock up in

I can do 2KM rowing in 8 minutes

Good benchmark - will one side effect of this project be an improvement in that time?

Eccles cakes.

The moment when I realised the guy who was overtaking me was swerving in front of me and was definitely going to take out my front wheel at speed. I think he indicated after he hit me at least.

Then a double oh shit because of the frame I was carrying across my back on my messenger bag and which I was now lying on top of; firstly and most importantly oh shit I wonder if the frame is OK, then oh shit I can't get up for a minute with this strapped to me, is the next car going to stop in time or will it just kill me?

Also as I'm pretty retarded when it comes to injuries someone tell me if I should do/not do anything to my finger (picture)? I can move it but it hurts and it's pointing off to the side a bit.

it could be dislocated or broken. not much to be done in either case, but if dislocated should be set back in socket. you will get laughing gas if you are lucky.

Christ. I often used to see him around when I worked in the city. Someone you noticed because he was different and appeared out of sync with the average city worker. What a waste, just seeing him made the world a little more interesting.

Condolences to his friends, family and loved ones.

One problem with 3G / Wifi Kindle is that they do not automatically switch from wifi to 3g when the configured wifi is not available.

This was a problem as I was in an area with no wifi at all, and would be a problem if there was only protected wifi.

To get round this you need to override the default setting of 'automatic' for selecting which wifi connection to use and manually select the correct 3G one.

This can take several time consuming iterations. But instructions are here.

Luckily I found what to do on my blackberry as that was the only internet connection i had available.

.

Just did it to find out what everyone is whinging about.

neither of which have put a dent in his crippling crack addiction sadly.

I don't think we should speculate on his sexual preferences when Dan is not here to defend himself.

I think he has replaced his lfgss addiction with a Facebook addiction.....

.....Get drunk and fumble around with the housemate. ....

This. But don't apologise.

having said that there have been people on this forum who have said that riding the bow flyover / junction is not a problem / is good fun.

More accurate to say that compared to using the roundabout it is the better option to use the flyover. The entry and exit are challenging on occasion, the surface is not great and the wind can be tricky as well.

Beauty of a Somec road frame that looks like it'll go pretty cheap.

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.....

did someone here get it? ... great price

wanted to bid, but got distracted and came back to the pc a minute too late :(

I was outbid at £135......

1 hour turnaround. Pretty good!

Brown shoes? Brown suede shoes?

You ever riden one? They are awesome- stiff as hell, nippy and you zoom up hills.

Personally I think they look great - but I would say that as this is mine:

no never ridden one and just being a semi-smart arse. I would actually buy one if I had any cash...
