That story made me cringe, I saw a ped step into the road on Bishopsgate this Sunday. Some guy on a road bike ran over her and then got thrown over the handlebars. Nasty.

I've started to wear my old Specialized helmet again, I've had a few close calls recently.

Sorry bombadil - they've already been taken.

Enjoy conan!

Hey Conan, I'm in Soho. Gonna pop out for lunch now but PM me and we can arrange something.

I have about 150 - 200 unused cassette tapes to get rid of. I work in a sound studio and originally wanted them for myself, but now I really can't be bothered with all of them!

It would be a shame to throw all these out - so if anyone has any use for them please let me know!

Cheers

if someone hits you and you're in a car, you'll be fine. not true on a bike.

i do listen to my ipod sometimes but it is definately more dangerous. i tend to look over my shoulders a lot more when i am..

Its true - you tend look a lot more.

It's a good idea not to rely on your hearing to guess what's coming up behind you. Usually you can hear the beautiful strains of a diesel engine as it overtakes you, although one of those electric vans flew past me the other day and I could hardly hear it.

thanks!

The liner can be taken out of the Bern Helmets.

I'd suggest the bern Watts if you want that style, but it has the nicety of vents

Cheers Motoko

Any idea where to get them in the UK?

Also if you have a stack you havent just totalled your nice 80gb ipod that cost you an arm and a leg.

That is true. Although my old 20gb was surprisingly resilient. Once while bombing it down Trafalgar St, (anyone from Brighton will know its a nice long hill) it bounced out of my pocket and overtook me down the street. Still worked fine, although saying that - it doesn't anymore...

I sold my bern baker after snowboarding with it for 1 day, cause it was too hot, even for snowboarding in.

Cycling in that, you must be mad!

So I guess there was no way of removing the inner lining for summer riding... oh well.

Well I like to be able to hear traffic and my surroundings, but also like tunes, so I have one of these clipped to my bag, doubles as a portable disco - can go loud enough for others to hear, or quiet enough for you to hear and still be able to hear traffic. I love it. £30 from play.com (not including shuffle) also has a built in 15 hour battery.

Thats really nice Clefty - I may have to get me one of them. Do you know if they work with normal sized iPods?

Don't worry about listening to music if you're using that helmet. Your brain will be cooked within 5 miles resulting in seizures.

Yeah - it's more of a winter helmet isn't it.

Been looking for a new helmet recently and came across this:

Really excited by the built in speakers, but I know my GF would kill me if she knew I was listening to my iPod and cycling. (Unless a car gets me first)

What's people's opinions of listening to music while cycling? I have done in the past (there is nothing quite like cycling along Brighton seafront at 4 in the morning, jumping curbs on a BMX while listening to Boards of Canada) but I fear more for my life now I'm a bit older and back in London.

Bloody chickens, I knew they where evil.

Just been evacuated from our building, oxford street as a suspect package was left on the israeli tourist office on our 6th floor, pretty scary, armed cops everywhere!! Looks like there on full alert at the mo.

I thought something was up, can hear loads of sirens from my office on Wardour St.

"ooooh my gowd that is soooo
"

^ I can't hear the word "lush" without thinking of the 4 bristolians I lived with in my first year of uni. It's not a good thing.

thats me - you work in 200 by any chance??

No - Its on my route home from soho - just stopped to adjust my rear wheel and tighten up my slack chain(!)

Cool, thanks dogsballs.

Gonna give it a go at t'weekend.

Spotted a guy on a blue iro - just unlocking and riding off from outside 200 grays inn road down coley st....if youre on here, sorry i nearly took you out as i stopped!!

DIRKBANG on High Holborn, IRO in hand - NICE bike! Cheers buddy

Wow first spots ever, and two in one day!

Hey Steves, no worries - I was more concerned with all the cobble stones along that bit of road. I'll say hi next time I see you, you were on a maroon Condor right?

Cheers for the tickets Jamie - they will be put too very good use, don't work too hard now!

I'd love em! PM'd

I've been riding my beautiful lovely new shiny bike in London for about a month now and its started to pick up ugly nasty dirty bastard scratches all over the paintwork. Bah!

What's the best way to get rid of 'em and protect the paintwork? T-cut? Touchup paint?

They are only small and cosmetic, but I'm still in the rather anal, protective stage of new bike ownership. It wears off after a while...

i've got a pair of these new you can have for £5
3ttt moscow time trial bars

I'd love these if ShannonBall doesn't want them, check your PM's dogsballs!

This would make it work for you maybe?
