Aaah, just did a search on the reg. number and see it's a minicab driver, not a bus driver.

2 months is still shit though

Out of interest DJ, any idea what route this bus was?#
And who actually sent the letter? TfL or the bus company?

Also, what's this all about?

behaviour of a private hire driver

Private hire?

The main point which seemed to emerge from Cancellara's fitting session was the unusually large range of movement in the hip joint, i.e. stretching the gluteals. If you can keep the hip angle closed, it means you don't have to arch the spine as much to keep the shoulders low.

Reading that Frank Schleck can't touch his toes either is somewhat comforting.

light fall in SE27 first thing, little bit in SW1 just now.

Hello,

one of my goals after the set back of last year, where my back snapped out on me, is to get into long distance cycling this year.
New bike is ready for me to be collected, and now I just need to get myself started.

I'd appreciate some tips from people on how to get started sensibly, without overdoing it.
Do people here do long rides alone or in a group?
Maybe someone has started long distance riding lately, and could tell me how exactly that went along?
Also if anyone knows clubs and organized rides in and around SE15 area that I'd definitely should look at, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Not long after I got my single speed I found myself wanting to ride further and further so one day I decided to go to Box Hill and back (approx 45 miles).

I'd not really cycled very far at all for about 15 years, I got on the bike, packed a few energy bars and went for it. Stopped at the cafe for a flapjack and a cuppa and rode home. Left me tired but felt good.

After that I wanted to go further and over more hills so got a geared bike and rode to Brighton. Was planning to ride back but left too late and didn't fancy navving in the dark (was before I had the Garmin)

My advice is get on your bike and ride.

I'm pretty near to you (SE27) if you fancy heading out sometime.

I've got a Satori and only really use a few of the resistance settings.

I mainly use the turbo for intervals, so really just change gear / resistance to achieve my desired heart rate and cadence combination.

I used Garmin Training Centre to set up a workout file that alerts me to my intervals (2 mins within a certain heartrate zones, 1 minute at a higher one etc...)

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else. Apologies if it has.
Nice, init.

Very nice, but they wouldn't get made like that. they don't fit the corporate design rules.

No Mayoral endorsement, web address rendered in upper case, no TfL logotype... I could go on. Few tweaks here and there and they would be spot on.

"The sudden rumble overhead fails to put a spoke in her wheels."

Jesus christ.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? How does that even remotely make any sense whatsoever?

Nothing wrong with that phrase, it's perfectly crumulent.

One these days I'm going to manage to make it out of bed and cycle the 1.7 miles to join one of DP's Saturday rides.

Ridden the route a couple of times on my own and it's a pretty nice one.

Is this your site then Neil?

Have a look at the wikipedia article on Microsoft Sharepoint.

Basically it allows you to use a web based application to build collaboraton sites for teams/individuals, and these sites can have all sorts of 'web parts' on them, like document libraries, links to calendars on ms exchange, blogs, wikis, forums etc.

2010 is the latest version of it.

Dulwich paragon ride is supposed to be pretty friendly to non-members. Been meaning to go myself but haven't got round to it just yet.

Meets at 9 in crystal palace, details are on their site.

Saw a tres cute fixed-riding couple at the Herne Hill lights this morning (0830 ish).

She had a nice shiny chrome (or bare steel?) frame with Look forks, had to stop looking for fear of being labelled a perv.

You can use something like Peer Guardian to bloke known monitoring IPs.

"to bloke"? Is this an Oz term or did you just mean "to block"?

I've sacked off BT long time ago anyway, Usenet is where its at.

Also, with BT it seems they are targeting seeders and not leechers.

They do have right to query the ISPs. who can report on the bandwidth used on a given protocol (p2p)
means fuck all as they can't prove what files you have? you could be sharing free music with friends..

That's not how they do it.

The owner of the copyrighted work employs a company that monitors specific torrents.

They grab the IP addresses and make a court order to the relevant ISP to find out who had that IP address at that time/date.

Technology is not proven though, and still untested. There can be lots of fake IPs on a torrent, and IPs can be obfuscated.

I got sent a few letters from this lot. Told them to fuck off until they show me some real evidence, haven't heard owt for a few months.

i like the idea of them, but fuck swimming and running.

Took me a bit to figure out how this thing worked when I got some all carbon forks. I wasn't able to get load on the headset until I'd figured out that I could loosen the bung and slide it further into the fork.

The design is a bit odd though, you can expand the bung with an Allen key but the action of screwing the top cap bolt can also causes it to expand.

Fair play to the little fella.

I did the 3 peaks for Indian Street Kids last year and only managed 3k.

Might pretend to be a 7 year old next year.

These environmentalists

Those evil cunts.

No-one up for riding back.....?

The recent weather has only highlighted what has been an ongoing problem for a number of years and that is a lack of investment in an already crumbling road network, particularly in the South east ( and else where I'm sure). Roads that have been topped dressed with a coat of tarmac only serve to cover up underlying problems that snow and ice have now uncovered. In my area around Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells (Kent) we still have potholes that are left over from last years bad weather.
So whats the answer? well more investment by local councils to fix the problems but they haven't got the money or so they keep telling us in the mean time we all have to take even more care out on the roads much to the disgust of car driving non bikers who wonder why we are sat in the middle of the road or weaving our way through pothole hell.
Is now the time for all cyclists, clubs, forums, LBS, and the bigger chains to join together in a national campaign to get Government and Borough/Town councils to fix the roads properly so we can ride without damage to ourseleves or indeed our bikes.

Just a thought

Blame Thatcher.

Yup, only just managed it though. It's a killer as it flattens out a little, then the last 100m or so is the steepest part!

I think it's also the fact that it's so close to home, so when riding out to biggin hill or whatever I hit it straight away, before I'm properly warmed up.

And don't bother with the 'grip' cleats, because they're rubbish. the rubber starts coming off after 3 seconds and makes it way harder to clip in and out.
