"that concertina bit near one end that allows you to flex it so you don't have to tilt the glass to get the straw in your mouth?"

That's what that's for? Wow.

"was actually one of those straws that widen out at the end into a little spoon so that you can scoop up all the bits at the bottom of your drink"

MIND. BLOWN.

^ Shitting hell. Sounds a lot like a mother with PTSD trying to use WVM to off her baby.

Crashing into pedestrians alongside busy streets has become my No1 fear on the roads. To the extent that I absolutely crawl through places like Brixton and around queuing traffic.

Selling this beauty on behalf of my brother in law who is looking to clear a bit of space (and family loyalty doesn't stretch to £1250 hand-me-downs).

Alu and Carbon frame with a recently added SRAM Red group set. Wheels are Campagnolo Euros, look great in the flesh and really work on this bike.

FSA stem, LOOK pedals and Fizik saddle, no splits. Framesize Medium.

A great bike at a great price, £1250 for the lot.

Mine was all peace and love until the bloke in the black BMW started screaming "I'LL RUN YOU OVER, I'LL RUN YOU OVER!!" at an apparently blameless roadie.

Apart from that.........

Up for grabs is this lovely little Peugeot Monaco. Frame size is 15" I believe. My girlfriend is 5'2 and it fits her perfectly. It has had fairly light use for the last couple of years since we got it and has been well looked after.

Needs a new gear cable but is otherwise in good condition. A great little bike for bimbling about town. Well loved but selling as my girlfriend has bought herself something new and we need the space!

Happy to arrange for anyone to come and have a look in SE.

A steal at £100

^Filtering is not compulsory and the ASL is not a target.

Perhaps I could draw it for you?

I was on the way to my LBS as the drive train was making a weird noise. The weird noise got a bit worse. LBS changed the freewheel and the chain, but weird noise remains. I think I will find it difficult to prove any canine crash causation.

Aye, it was fine - I've somehow managed to strain a groin muscle in the melee but everyone was otherwise unscathed.

Oh that was really it. I crashed into a dog. Everyone apologised to everyone involved, there may have been a handshake, it was all terribly British.

And completely my fault of course.

^^ Bad luck and HTFU

I came here to post my story about crashing into a dog this morning in Dulwich Park. Seems hopelessly trivial now.

I find it very hard to see genuine mass cycling in this country with safety in numbers and some training, useful though that is.

But I agree, people like the LCC need to promote cycling for all the benefits that it brings whilst not losing sight of the fact that politicians are making decisions on cycling provision that are killing people needlessly. It's a very difficult balance to strike and maybe there is an argument that it has gone a bit too far towards the dangerisation angle.

R.I.P rider.

Not again - Too close to home this.

Apols - Didn't realise I'd get so much interest for this so quickly.

Now dibsed and probably sold, will put back up if doesn't work out.

^ Just reminded me of an incident outside London Bridge station this morning, at the ped crossing opposite the London Dungeon entrance.

I'm moving slowly in heavy traffic infront of but to the left of a tipper lorry (weak positioning I know) the lights go red and I pull up just shy of the line, tipper lorry carries on, running the lights, which have been red for a few seconds, scattering pedestrians and brushing past me with a few inches of wiggle room. Twat.

Addison Lee saying on Twitter that they have "parted company" with the driver concerned.

Next to the text of that statement, the Addison Lee website offers a "white on black version".... Is there no limit to the depths of depravity this company will sink?

Looking for some routing advice: Does anyone know of a way that I can input a route into a program, which then syncs up with a GPS enabled smart phone that gives turn by turn directions into headphones?

Don't want to shell out for a Garmin and don't want to mount my iPhone to the handlebars.

A classic of the genre

Creeping towards my valuation ;)

It will be mine, oh yes.........

The Contour Roam is pretty inconspicuous if you mount it on the frame or on helmet side vents.

sensible

Ouch :D

Good luck with the sale.

This is exactly the bike I'm looking for but at about £100 more than I want to pay.

I don't know if that qualifies as feedback or just underlines that I'm a deluded cheapskate.

^^ This - I've definitely had more close passes and aggressive driving from out of services buses than any other.

Well written letter too.
