A friend of mine got mugged on the canal by victoria park late one night last summer.
He was riding along and had just overtaken one pedestrian, then was stopped by 2 undesirables. Turns out the person he overtook had nothing to do with it, and on spotting the mugging going on infront of him....
Rather than come to my friend's aid, this guys logic was to take his phone out, raise it above his head to keep it dry, then jump in the canal, to keep himself safe from the muggers. Once my pal was finished with being mugged, the guy in the canal asked for help to get out, which was politely declined.

I guess you're already aware of this, so perhaps not that much use, but interesting and related nevertheless. A few years ago Sao Paulo banned billboards....

Good morning all,
Am after a replacement 26" inch rear wheel for an old town bike. Internal hub or freewheel, but no cassette.
Currently have a Sturmey Archer 3peed hub, but the thing weighs the same as the frame, so looking to lighten the load a little. As long as it's chrome and runs true...
Thanks in advance.

When I was out there, I went sniffing around a fair abit around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka - but things were still so expensive.
I was told the best bet would to be to buy one on the japanese yahoo auctions, (bigger than ebay over there apparently) of course you'd have to be pretty lucky in terms of timing it etc.
But that's where you'll get a better deal.
I miss japan.

When I was a kid the pink power ranger Amy Jo Johnson was my pen pal after a chance meeting on a school trip. I loved her but all she did was send me pictures of her boyfriend, the heartless cow.
Thats my claim to fame.....got any better?

She's a dream.
I had a penpal, who I'm now convinced is a babe. Alas, I couldn't find her on facebook.

Haha, shades of a classic peep show episode.
