Is a chief bad?
-
spanner? for a road bike?
I was riding a genuine fixie.
-
what was the bit of metal that fell off someones bike?
That was a spanner from my jersey pocket.
-
Ouch, bad luck. No injuries?
Bit of road rash and a sore hand was the worst of it thankfully.
-
Good for a laugh, I still feel awful about what could have happened to the rider behind me (he comes quite close to hitting the curb). I didn't really know the route and took a bit of a bad line over the roundabout, I tried to tighten my turn up a little and the front wheel just went. I really didn't feel it was that risky and suspect something greasy on the road (or at least that's what I like to think).
Feel free to post in the bad cyclists thread.

Written by the cycling lawyer who has an interesting blog too
http://thecyclingsilk.blogspot.com/
tldr
It is suggested that it is neither right nor wrong for a cyclist to wear or not
wear a helmet. It should be a matter of personal choice leaving the blame to lie with
the person or persons responsible for the collision. -
Thanks, Toby. We're actually very well aware of that sort of issue. Just like those advocates in the US, we give recommendations, no more. Implementation and detailed sign-off is always entirely the task of paid and qualified professionals. Not only does this mean that qualified people do the job, but it also saves us a lot of work. :)
I'm just glad that the guy making the complaint got what he deserved. Normally I like to think engineers create value and lawyers aren't interested in anything but money!

My knees aren't what they use to be...
Some details
55 ctc Seat tube / 56 ctc top tube

Sugino 75 BB / crankset and 48t chainring
Dura-ace low flange track hubs / Mavic SUP ceramic rims / 16T dura ace sprocket / Deda RS Corsa tyres

Only ridden in the dry when I could help it / well looked after by engineer albeit not a cycle one.Would like something geared in good nick. I have one of those modern plastic road bikes already so wouldn't mind something from the 90s.
If I don't find anything I'll put it up for sale.

You're liable until it gets to the buyers door. The insurance is for you!
-
Just wanted to add to the above. Fast, friendly and offer good advice.
-
nice bike, why use a cross lever tho? regular drop levers, one as a dummy would add some comfort!
True, but I'm fickle and don't think it looks as good. Maybe I need a shorter stem but I'm most comfortable riding with my hands on the last flat sections of the bar before they curve into the drops.
-
No half arsed attempts! let's see some leg!
That is a lovely bike btw
I chose a really obnoxious one last time and someone on a forum ride told me they thought I must be a real twat.
^old photo, I look a more bit haggard now

Anybody fancy 60 miles Saturday morning on gears? I was planing on down to Brighton (because I'm SW and it's convenient) and getting the train back.
open to suggestions though, would be nice to be shown some new routes (SE especially)
