No big and not clever - scared the shit out of the missus the second time (and myself) and so now ride everywhere with a helmet

I had a problem punching random people in the face whenever I drank Stella, so now whenever I go out and get mashed on Stella I make sure I'm wearing huge glove puppets.

^I can't imagine that'd stay smooth and flat for very long.

That would be me and my Fuji Feather. Blown my tube big time, and of course no spare in the bag...

Riding without a spare tube is like an anxiety dream where you forgot to put trousers on.

haha amazing

ISP cache servers re-routing through somewhere that triggers a referrer agent lookup against a Japanese language map name database.

Why's Southwark written in Japanese?

Ah, I knew I'd seen this recently, couldn't remember what station it was! Pretty strange.

Weird creaking noise from my bike today. Did put it through it's paces up Ditchling yest. Shit myself thinking I was about to lose a crank but think it's the headset now. Could this just be the bearings? Please just be the bearings...

Doubt it's bearings if it's a creak, do check ^that list^ though, it's great.

Quick guesses would be tighten your stem bolt, grease pedal threads, grease crank bolts... etc.

Anyone up for a ride on Saturday? Somewhere North East.

At the risk of sounding like a massive cliché, "I almost spat out my tea" (I always thought people were lying when they said this)

Fair point, although the news story says the cyclists swerved to avoid the door, so I reckon there was room. There's also sometimes the option of filtering on the right, but I often find myself in a pickle when I do that.
It was just a ponderance anyway.

"shouldn't have been riding so close to parked cars"
vs
"should look out for cyclists when opening car door"
?

Just remembered yesterday about 8.30pm, two guys riding up OKR as I was riding down, guy in front (with risers, brakless?) making a kind of "turn round and come this way" hand gesture. I just grinned, wasn't sure what to do.

The biggest clue is actually pretty clear in the middle of the photo.

Bermonsey? Not heard of it

Earlier I was trying to wash chain gunk off my hands with washing up liquid, saw a pellet of coffee grounds in the sink, crushed it up and used it as an abrasive. Worked really well, better than sugar I think.

Some people just think they're in a video they saw on Youtube I guess.

Agree

I hope by "squished" you mean given a little squish, rather than a horrible death. Think about what you're saying.

Is this the miscellaneous & memeless thread now?

Does he lock into a really ineffective skid before the crunch?

If it's for now, perhaps wait for that volcano ash to disperse first.

I've got flight booked for next week and now I'm worried it will become a lolcano saga like last year.

Ha yeah my girlfriend is stressing about this. Luckily we're going in August (not so great for flight prices, it seems).
Dude on the news says we should expect more of this for a good few years though.

Cheers!

(I waited a minute to see if "no." was going to follow)

Or a quick answer to this please: Is £500 an OK price for LDN->NY and SF->LDN combined?

Ff's

Looking to book some flights to/around the US, every time I check the prices seem to fluctuate, disappear, reappear etc... Someone said they store your IP address and put the prices up next time you check..?! Someone else said it's better to use an actual travel agent shop.
Any advice? Been using things like Kayak, Travel Supermarket etc.

But this is London FGSS

(I know many people who post here aren't in London, but I think it's totally fine to just say 'central'...)
