I couldn't find a more appropriate thread and didn't want to start a new one, so.......
I saw a bike recently with interesting looking pedals. It looked like normal SPDs on one side, but the other side had a see-through flat plastic platform. Does anybody know what pedals these were? It looked like a good compromise for SPD clips and flat pedal riding (for non-cycle shoe use).

and Poland is apparently the horniest country
Poland has now been overtaken.I think next year will be a either a good year for births in Pakistan, or a record year for divorce.

one of the benefits of living in the third world is rampant piracy.
piracy = the great equaliser
i came across pirated films that werent even close to being available in any shops, i have a mahoosive collection of pirated films back home.
livingasleep, I'm not sure if this is an in-joke, but I'm not a fan of piracy, as films cost money to make, and the film-makers have to take out bank loans for the production. My sympathies are with the film makers, because I love films.
Takeshi Kitano can have my money, as long as he keeps making films like Hana Bi, and Zatoichi. If I bought the pirated versions, he'd get none of it.
All I'm inferring is, that I really respect an artist's rights to full payment (initial and subsequent) for their work.

Also have to give a mention to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versus_(film) for a Japanese live action film..
Surely the only film in creation to have zombies, gangsters, samurai, zombie gangsters and zombie samurai all in the same place..
I'm sure quite a few of us here have *VERSUS* in our collections. Mental. But good.

im all for the vengeance trilogy! old boy is fucking wicked. and there should be a lfgss smoke sesh prior to the film. make the beer and monchies all the sweeter.
Old Boy is brilliant, Lady Vengeance is very good, but the other one, is not up to much. More like a (pythonesque answer) a Trilogy of two.

I was just asked privately about the differences between the Armadillo All Condition (that I use) and the Armadillo Roubaix that I observed (without use). This is my answer; it may help someone else in a choice between the two.
Good question _________, and until this past weekend I didn't know it. Funnily enough, I was in a bike shop on Sunday and had a good look at the structure of the Roubaix. The central rubber section is MUCH thicker than on the regular Armadillo. The sides seem not as robust, and there I guess is the weight saving over the Armadillo All Condition. The thickness of the central section would withstand normal bits of glass with ease, even without a kevlar belt beneath it.
So, in my opinion, the Roubaix may even be more difficult to puncture than the All Condition, due to the thickness of the central tread. The central tread is raised, and yet the tyre would be more supple, being a folding tyre, as opposed to rigid like the All Condition. Though more expensive, it appears worth it, if the ride is better, central tread is possibly more puncture resistant, and there is more grip (the rubber compund appears softer).
Hope that helps. And since it was such a good question, I hope you dont mind me posting the answer (not your identity) in the main thread.

Cyclaire looks great!
Agreed, that it looks really handy, but I spoke to some shop staff about it, and they said it does work exactly as advertised - though its slow in operation. The technology behind it is brilliant though.
For those that don't know this item; it works by pulling the handle/cord OUT, and on the inward rewind stroke, it generates power to pump air out. No pushing involved.
Thats funny. In fact you're funnier than Lenny Henry.........on top of some great fat bird.
Wait.
Hang on.
Oh...........
