There's no such thing as an 'accident'.

He was responsible.

Clearly there is such a thing as an accident, I.e. something not intended.

If someone hits me and intends to do so, I would try to punish them as strongly as possible. If they didn't intend to, it mitigates. They might still have been reckless or generally increasing the chance of something occuring... and it doesn't get them off the hook, but it's a damm sight better than a deliberate violent act.

There seem to be buying as well, and there are people who predominantly sell who the forum "tolerates", presumably because their wares are worth having

Q: Can I use a shimano wheel (i.e. cassette etc) on an otherwise campy 10sp set up for turbo use only?

I.e. as long as I just set the chain up somewhere with appropriate gearing, and don't attempt to change it, use the indexing etc, is there anything to stop it going round and round, or increase wear?

Cheers

Just got a pair of the commuter trousers - not bad at the price. Unsure how long they will last but they're very light and fairly flexible. Fit me nicely at 32-32 and I've got more like a 31 waist + chicken legs so they might be a little tight if you have big strong cycling thighs.

Well done - you've handled it very smartly, most people wouldn't after a knock on the head.

I think your plan is reasonable if you think it was a simple accident, kind of thing that might happen to anyone - we do not check shoulders etc 100% of the time and while the law might try to hold you to account every time you made a mistake, that would be a pretty shitty world.

However, if you think it's symptomatic of a general poor driving attitude and or carelessness towards cyclists it may be worth pushing for a harder punishment as deterrent. BUT from what you've said.. I think get the money for any damage, new clothes etc. And hopefully he will learn from it..

So.. >>>stolen bikes thread.

I think the "hendlebars" are not unattractive, although probably +- what they'd have been before he started...

(You cunt)

Cambridge was originally know as 'Cuntbridge', the name only being altered when the River Cunt started to dry up a bit in the Middle Ages.

Repd.

What is this I don't even

So, refuse to pay them

Or if they've taken the money, issue a chargeback (if on CC or Visa debit)

Or if they've taken the money and you have no way to take it back, report them to the police/the card issuer for abuse and they'll soon stop when they can't take payments from anyone.

I hope you took his details, the licence + PCO number, contemporaneous notes, the name of the person trying to get the cab and anyone else around...

Ok, you probably understandably didn't manage all that - but the forum is littered with tales of people later finding issues with their bike/head that need sorting!

Same, brewing your own?

^ Recipe?

I has homebrew shiz, not sure what's required.

^^ Snooker?? What are they on...?

...and hardly any actually know the rules around riding abreast, etc.

I'm surprised noone has pointed out that the guys in the picture may be about to turn right, or slowing for whatever reason, or two are overtaking one.... any number of possibilities to be in that arrangement.

Really no worse than

"Check out my new double straps NJS stamp ooohh yeeeaaahhH"

"Look at this incredibly rare campagnolo first edition super duper record chrome wangnut with the optional yellow dingleberries on it"

"I got a bike then I took loads of the bits off it cos it's cool even though it does less stuff now"

"Death to bagless enthusiasts"

At least two of them have made boasting posts about hitting people on bikes - emma way stylee. If I cba and thought it would make any difference, I'd report them.

Christ. People. Y u so fucking retarded?

I doubt that would be a problem given size - but it only lasts a year (so is a recurring cost) and only locates within 50ft, or you're reliant on someone else who uses the system being nearby. Fatal flaws..?

Presumably technically it wouldn't be hard to engineer something with a gps chip and sim card in it that could enter a very low power state and only wake up when then sim was "called". Using a paygo sim or something would then keep costs to the data used when tracking...

Sorry for not replying to the PM - other costs/purchases got in the way of this but good luck with the sale!

Go on then, i'll bite, don't know if they'll fit my skeletal size 9 feet but at that price I'm sure they can get passed on.

PMd

Probably true, and you'll end up going slower than walking. Could try to go overground using the canal as a rough route finder ... it shouldn't be possible to go too wrong because you know you can't cross it except by bridge.

super sexy

So, it's my birthday on Monday (also a 3hr exam with another couple on the tues, yippee)

Will probably get a little bit of money from various uninventive relatives, and since my el cheapo 7dayshop one broke, I'm in the market for a camera to be the new traffic droid. Any clues for something cheaper than a go pro but better than something for 30 quid off ebay?

Sportpursuit has the less featured version of this http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/gadgets/helmet-cams/product/review-gobandit-live-video-camera-12-46565 on for £99 which seems like a steal. Anyone got one?

I will read the thread, but in case anyone has specific models to recommend.

Going>>>>>>>>, should have UTFSed
