I always have an imaginary OTP replacement bike in the back of my mind, in case my bike got nicked and I needed to get back on the road ASAP, and I'd say the current Plug would definitely be my choice. They went through a bit of a lame stage a few models ago, being made out of weedy-looking no-frills steel, but the new Alu model is an absolute bargain, ripe for upgrading too (if you need to).

Noticed it too (sorry, slow day in the office)

Fair dos, just wanted to make sure for next time I buy something through them.

Some guy the other day on London Bridge n/b at the north end, trying to mix it up on the road with average-speed traffic. Definitely a knob.

Considering they're supposed to pool their members from the creative industries, they obviously didn't have too many jersey designers to choose from. Quite fitting thay the final design is uncreative and unsubtle, much like the members.

@Velocio Time to call out bad cyclists thread is beginning to drag up the upcoming court case of the lady who died after being knocked down. Action needed?

Did the same to a serial RJLer on CS3 last week. Told a HobbyBobby™ on his trike that this dude had was RLJing like a pro, and that he'd most likely do it again right in front of the two of us. He did, but HobbyBobby™ couldn't catch him because he wasn't prepared to run all the further reds that RLJer was blasting through. #csb #nojustice

RIP, such a shame. Condolences to all who knew her.

Worked fine first time here. Cheers!

Thanks. I think I tend more towards the latter category, though certainly not one for radical fixeh skidz (unless in the wet, obvs).

This question was asked a lot earlier upthread, but not conclusively answered; would a 140mm rotor be OK to use up front on a fixed commuter that's unlikely to be descending a mountain anytime soon?

Apologies, just realised my PayPal was chucking out my subscriptions due to replacing my card. Just updated details, 2 monthly beers coming back at you.

and an arsehole to boot.

I would think they need to extend their opening hours if they want to provide an useful alternative to the 24hr Jubilee Line, otherwise parking folk leaving O2 late will park at Stratford or nearer and tube-in.

Used to go shampoo-free all the time, but Mrs FJ used to complain hair would smell a little sweaty, so went back to using a tiny bit of shampoo as compromise. It's definitely something you have to break through, takes about 2 weeks for the hair to recover from the shock of no shampoo and start producing the natural oils again, but you definitely need to wash it with warm water more often.

Hands up; I did suggest she posted in there, considering her business is based in the area, but will suggest she takes it down if it's in contravention of policy. Soz.

^ can vouch for this. Lovely scenery and amazing rides around that area.

I am positively poor;

1x 24" BMX

Commentators (fwiw), were saying the paint finish was making it difficult to visually guage the lay of the track, which in the old 'dirt' days might not have been as much of an issue.

I too am up for jumping, as are the racers, but some of those doubles were seriously too large even for the top riders' abilities. There seems to be a contest between track designers to go bigger than everyone else, without regards to the effect on the racing, or riders' safety.

IMVHO.

Still, loving watching it.
