That's done it for me Hoke - I've some hip pain when walking which may be rooted in my bike fit. It has finally got so bad that I am going to these guys for a fit tomorrow. I spend 12 hours a week in the saddle. I'm in the market for a new bike to replace my fabulous 4 year old single speed - treating myself I hope by getting it right! Will let you know what these guys find.

I was there

Maybe the bright sunshine made me risk compensate. Maybe my gloves. My newly serviced brakes perhaps. Or the Exposure Diablo flashing on my helmet. Maybe maybe if if if..... .

That's right. You weren't there. So no judgements please.

? I'm not going to run a control.

This on the way home last night. Silly cow coming in the opposite direction pulled a right and crossed my bus lane thru a gap in stationary traffic without checking. No matter how many segregated cycle lanes are built and lights installed people will still think it's OK to go even when it's not safe. This lady's excuse? Another driver in the stopped traffic flashed her out to go. I did a 3 or 4 meter stoppie but couldn't avoid the inevitable superman over the bars. Head hit first. Its all road rash and soreness. Police attended. Ambo too. But I cycled home. Probably the end of my Bell helmet. Saved my life. Seriously.

Hi radar - did you sell this?

Cheers

Sorry - wrong thread

Hi - can someone help me out here. I cycle alone mainly because I find it impossible to plan ahead and join others. I ride a steel single speed. I'm doing circuits of Regents Park Outer Ring for a change from my commute in the traffic. Last night I measured myself (not pin-point accurately) at 28 miles (10 circuits) in 93 minutes. How am I doing?

I came thru Ally Pally this morning - swear I could smell Autumn..............................

I failed to get an appointment with my chiropractor today. He had back to back meetings.

Yep - that's a good 'un. Joke du jour.

For the uninitiated....what is this please?

Do you use Embankment? There's always a puddle of oil at the junction with Southwark Bridge lights. Could be you?

.... combined shampoo and conditioner - a product that takes dirty oil out and puts clean oil back - all at the same time ...............

Why doesn't this exist for bike chain?

The global shampoo market is expected to reach an estimated value of $25.73 billion by 2019.Here's how it goes. In olden days dirty job = dirty hair so some smart dude comes up with a shampoo that smells like toilet cleaner eg Vosene (showing my age). Then the body products industry in it's infancy decides that if we can be persuaded to wash our hair every week they will sell shedloads of lovely smelling shampoo, Cue advertising etc. Then we discover that not washing hair for a couple of days produces greasy hair! Result for the shampoo makers!!!!! - wash hair more often. Only that strips all of the oil and leaves dry hair. Wahey - conditioner - daily!. Then when you think that's it all sewn up - combined shampoo and conditioner - a product that takes oil out and puts oil back - all at the same time - every day. Jeez - you wouldn't do this to your dog! Then there's toothpaste, bionic yoghurt, under-arm, shower-gel, vitamins, eye drops, the list is endless....and rubbish! It's all in the name - sham and poo.

Lecce - OMG what a wonderful place/region - so laid back. Daughter #1 studied there so I often visited. The coastline of Puglia - gorgeous.

Yeh!!!!! Yeh!!!! Yeh !!! PM'd.

Today's 'miserable little turds'. Tomorrows LFGSS followers........

Haven't shampoo'd my hair for about 10 years and it couldn't be healthier. I have recently given up using soap except on feet, armpits and bits..................it's amazing. Really. The human body is an incredibly accomplished organism and has even worked out how to stay clean and smell nice. Without the need for soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, anti-perspirant, eau-de-cologne, foot-spray, after-shave etc etc etc

Sparky - I'm in Mayfair this afternoon - meeting at 4pm which will be max 1 hour.

Can I meet you at 5? I'm interested for my son. But before we confirm.....my son is 6'3 - 6'4".

What do you think re sizing. Obvs best if he trial-rides it but he's in Oxford and since I'm close to you today and you've got that beaut in London..................?

Hi - to give me a better idea of fit - cos I'm confused by the geometry measures - what height/build are you?

Mind you - it could have been the complimentary nuts.................

I met a guy in a pub last night who complemented me on my calves. Just saying...........
