Keep it in private

ive got £130 to spend on a light, was thinking of this http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/LICRET61600L/cree_1600_lumens_xm_l_t6_led_bike_light_kit

any thoughts, or advice to the contrary

don't buy from on one , the exact same light even branded the same is £40 on dx.com , buy 3 from dx.com and have a tenner left for beer !

Well, Bird have raised all the cash they need. Only took a few days.

The swinley group had a fair bit of investment in it I think since a fair few of them got to test ride , still good to hopefully see a independent company do well

Seriously though, as someone out of mtb for years now, how available are 650b tyres?

Not common enough to be trickling into sales , esp if bird is pitching itself as cheaper it needs to consider the fact that 650b may not be cheap to repair/replace bits and therefore would be a little backwards to go 650b if they want to be high value

Some detailed opinion about 20mph 2000pcu here.

http://rachelaldred.org/writing/20mph-2000pcu-using-it-for-local-campaigning/

She highlights Hackney as somewhere where changes have been implemented that move towards that goal. Though I think it is important to realise that borough has not been dominated by campaigns for strict segregation, Rachel picks a good example of a road that has been freed up for bikes but car access has been restricted as somewhere where infrastructure is working.

Does this essentially mean of the 2000pcu 85% must be under the speed limit for it to qualify as succesful ?

As soon as it gets light/warm again I'd be up for helping organise

You might want to include the angles on the headset

3 less teeth and I'd be all over this , shame

Hey good to meet you pete , sorry I couldn't stick around to grab a drink had to go get myself to a remembrance day service

Supposed to be going to japan for 5 weeks , mostly camping and a few days in tokyo and a few days with a foreign family , anyone got any tips/things I should be bringing in terms of the heat/humidity ?

Still can't afford with 10% off :(

soyuz?

When the paycheck rolls round I might be interested , will PM you when/if

Hey James. Drop in with your CV and we will be in touch. We are looking for some part-time guys yeah.

And glad you liked the look of the cafe, its not all lycra clad roadies thankfully!

Just wondering do you have plugs around the cafe?

Aw - sorry about your losses, Simon and James. No matter how long a pet lives, it always seems far too short. I dread the day any of my pets dies, but life would be much poorer without having had them at all.

Yeah that x100 , he only lived to 7 months after a bout of wet tail but he spent his last month being fed babyfood and antibiotics round the which has pretty much put me off ever having kids now

So nice

I work in the kitchen at the corner room in Bethnal green. If your interested in coming PM me and can go from there.

Thanks , it's been moved back until end of the academic year but I will do , it's essentially 2 weeks of free work for you guys

Wow I cycled past the other day and saw it , looks good , didn't know you guys were on here though , if you need anyone that can be under 18 i.e not serving alcohol then I'm local

He didn't say.

They lock one bike up properly but the one that got stolen was only locked up by spokes perhaps?

Think I may as well throw up a photo of my now ex hamster

I walked somewhere a couple of days ago for the first time in a long time and for a split second considered taking primary across a crossing

I heard another story today about alleged 'skeleton key' use when stealing a bike locked with a popular choice of lock (a good one). The person in question had locked his bike to his friend's with her lock and when they returned, her bike was still locked up there but his was gone. It's unlikely that they cut through his frame, as his bike was reassuringly expensive.

These stories have been around for years but I've never seen any clear proof of them, and it is possible that the lock may simply have been picked; one (self-alleged) witness of such a picking I once met claimed that it looked just like someone unlocking a lock.

It takes skill and there probably aren't too many thieves around who use this technique, but it is one of the oldest ways of defeating locks, after all.

Picking a single sided key barrel lock isn't hard in the slightest but doing it quickly takes practice , which lock was it out of interest ?

Keep them seeing as they don't make them anymore in about 5 years there'll be hipster tax on it

numbers are dwindling as winter sets in. July was easily 1,200 people

Gonna be a wet one next time , certainly less people

How does this get more expensive than new when you've made it worse ? ( with exception to the front wheel)

Thx but they are kind of boring even though I might end up with one ;)

Buy one you know you want to , my frame cost me 69 quid including postage on the account it had a minor to say the least scratch under the stem on the head tube , get one on clearance , build it up and buy a nicer frame if you ever feel the need
