Bump this up. I've been having trouble of late with my left Achilles, I think from overdoing it. But I've also recently changed from risers to drops & hoods, would this somehow manifest as an ankle problem? My cleats (spds) are plumb on and I have insoles too.

Having tried a few front lights since my old bulky cateye shook itself to suicide last winter I recently invested in this Cateye hl el620rc nano shot . Really happy so far, 250 lumen strobe for 12hrs/charge, quite light in weight. As long as it handles the rain I think it's a really good city light at a reasonable price.

He just kept calling you an "absolute beast". I think it's love. I'm in Berlin 16-19th, gutted I didn't plan this better to coincide.

I think Scherrit is going Hippy, he mentioned it when I had another fit up recently.

I think it would give the rider false confidence, it's only of use if you've ridden into a vulnerable situation which you should of avoided in the first place. Compulsory cycle training for all the people.

I did the route as far as Kidd's Hill today. It is really lovely (though I am now covered in mud). Not doing the actual ride because I can't face the humiliation of wheezing up hills in front of everyone, but happy to volunteer again if you need people.

Is it a proper muddy one then? I only haz slick 23c wheels :(

Inchpincher email me at hell.ashdown at yahoo.co . uk with your name and entry number and I'll re send one.

It's come through now, thanks though.

I just booked 9.04am if anyone's interested in joining, road bike obvs, not that quick. It didn't seem to generate the email I was expecting with instructions, just a PayPal receipt so I may need to chase this up...?

Rozza's at the bottom of Camberwell New Rd/ Denmark Hill this evening. I'm stopped in the ASL box and a dude just slow rolls through the red doing the look left/right/left/right/left thing which is foolproof for not get squished. Copper yells "CYCLIST! STOP!"
Dude has a Pavlovian response to being shouted at and freezes. Dude looks behind and the cop makes a half arsed three step run towards him. Dude smiles and rides off into the sunset. I lol'd.

Strips arrived thank you, although you didn't mention in your friendly note at what point you'd be around to clean my bike so that I can apply them?

Had a reminder email about this today, hopefully I'll remember to book a slot if it really sells out < 24 hours.

I've just put Shimano R600's on and am happy although I can't lock the wheels up riding on the hoods like I could with riser brakes.

I don't normally cycle through Vauxhall bridge area at rush hour (South to North) but did today and was in awe of the fuckwittery. When it's dark, wet and busy it's crazy some cyclists don't adjust their riding.

I think it's the lack of engagement with the environment that scares me the most, just everyone in their bubble. As one 4x4 driver so succinctly put it to me recently when I shouted as he brushed past me in particularly lazy overtaking manoeuvre... "What's the matter, you're not dead are you?". I can't even begin to retort to cuntish logic like that.

Leg warmers might be a shout - although may defeat the point of buying winter tights. What is the sizing like? I have short legs but big-boned thighs.

I have two pairs of size L Super Roubaix bibs that I need to send back, they're stretchy but need to size up to XL for height and chest reasons. I'm basically the opposite body type... 188cm and 78kg, legs like chopsticks.

Not safe for home #myeyessssssssss

^ I used to call that stretch of road 'suicide alley' on a account of the trees occluding the street lights and the hundreds of peds dashing across four lanes of traffic. Gaping potholes would appear overnight that were invisible until too late. Glad it's not on my commute anymore. csb

Buy a new bike :)

I mix it up too, maybe take the bus one day a week when I've had too many near misses. Having a small group of pals to go out with on a weekend will help restore your mojo. Good luck.

My flatmate Inchpincher. He mentioned it when he got home. No gears tho...SS

I can't get enough of that OKR Sports Direct. Hi

Anyone camped at Isle of Man TT, there's a choice of a few sites, Union mills is sold out so I guess that was the best...?

I'd like to get a graphic-y type tattoo done which will involve characters overlapping and therefore quite precise colour changes (similar idea to the pics below). Anyone point me in the direction of someones portfolio who would be good at this type of thang. Ta

I have a triumph sprint ST (2003) and I love it. Relatively cheap, reliable, full fairing so very comfy for long journeys, sits at 80mph at 2.5k less revs than my bandit and has tons of midrange power. Performed impeccably around Europe last summer for a few thousand miles, recommended.

Lady with forum cap on OKR around 4pm at the lights. I refuse to say DAS to someone stationary so i slunked off towards Sports Direct nearly coming a cropper doing a hipster dismount and catching my fluro nodder over trousers on the bars. Smooooooooth op-er-ator....

Rest in peace rider, thoughts are with your family.

Nice idea but I don't think it would last ten seconds vs a lump hammer.

^ mental, looks like they've wired the lights in too!?

This is a nice hour of vintage film, especially the TT stuff, only available for another week though...
