I am after some advice

We have some bike storage at work, basically hangers on a wall and work are interested in improving the facilities

The hangers are relatively flimsy, certainly smaller diameter than my lock, and up near the front wheel so I would like somthing to lock the frame to. I have seen pictures of basically a horizontal U shaped bar protruding from the wall for locking to.. Would anyone happen to have a source for these?

Desperately need my mojo back.

Had an off a couple of months back where a car pulled across me and I separated a shoulder, and all I seem to have seen since is stories of people killed/injured/assaulted whilst riding which I think has affected me. This, when combined with me getting fat and unfit hasn't helped my cycling. Work has moved from an office with showers and lockers and secure bike storage to an office with no showers or lockers and insecure bike storage. Somehow I need to get it back

I've just upped mine a bit, pretty sure I was barely buying half a drink a month :-) Hopefully it will appear with you shortly.

Spoke to the chap who had his bike nicked this morning while picking up Roseanna. He was obviously gutted. Not sure I'd think twice about leaving a bike outside somewhere like that. I'd be gutted

Roseanna has crossed the bridge and coming back now. I'm working whilst watching a bleedin' tracker

Gutted. I am now not doing it because work has reared its ugly head.

Say Hello to Roseanna, anyone who sees her. She's on a white Boardman

I'm in. As is my other half.

For her it will be absolutely full value (though maybe less so with no headwind).

For Me it will be literally my first time on my bike since an off and shoulder injury 6 weeks or so ago

I'm not overly optimistic, which is a dreadful way to start

Ho Hum

I have some well used ones that you are welcome to. They're functional, I just moved to SLs.

I'm in the city daytime if that helps

Hmmm, interesting, thank you

My auger wouldn't like loads and loads of rubble, but a few fist sized lumps on each hole probably wouldn't trouble it.

Like I say, if you are north London you are welcome to it to try/do the job with. It's just a manual thing, but really makes the job about 98619% easier

I did mine with concrete about 5 years ago.. so far so good.

Buy an auger. Or if you are in North London have mine.

On the plus side, you have probably made me think about what I should buy. On the negative side, you have probably made me buy :-)

Do I need wifi? stainless? Arrrggghhhhh. Which one do you have? I'm assuming pleased with it?

Also worth checking that the USB outlets are > 2Amp ones. Plenty aren't and frankly you might as well put your phone near a warm dog in order to charge it.

Please stop posting. Am on the verge of buying both a smokie mountain and a grill and should probably resist

What is hippy doing?

How does one find a decent dentist?

I have a dead and discoloured front tooth. It has been dead for a long time (30 years ish). It was drilled and filled at the time and has been fine since. It doesn't cause me any problems at all it is less pretty than the rest of me.

My own dentist sort of suggested something but somehow I lacked confidence that they were presenting me with all the options, just what their particular surgery was able to do, which is kind of fair enough, but I would like to know what the advantages/disadvantages of various approaches are. They thought they could do something with it, but also said I wouldn't be able to eat apples afterwards :-) Money is sort of no object here, I'd rather find the money and have something I am very happy with rather than make compromises.

ooh, thank you

An utterly bloody awesome ride skinny. Very, very impressed :-)

agreed, it is an utter farce.
I am one of the late joiners, and I joined to vote against Corbyn.

Is there a tester_recommends online beer supplier?

I (mostly) did that Flatlands last year @cgg. Was really flat. Nice ride. snapped a seatpost somewhere like Huntingdon on the way home. had to do a bloody hilly one in Wales (which was actually gorgeous, but the hardest ride I have ever done) to get my SR.

I am normally by Liverpool Street, but am not there this week. I am there early next week though if that is any good?

@dumps So I do. I don't know whether this says good or bad things but...

I am selling an Airy in classifieds, so I do have some experience. My honest experience is that it is very light, and very inoffensive when you don't have panniers on. I really like it. Panniers on, I also like it, it has less side support than some other racks (but everything's a trade off). I eventually just moved away from using panniers at all.

BB a fiver.
@titch, no sorry, just cables, so it doesn't matter that they are disc :-)
