Why is there always horse shit on King's Cross Road? Specifically the bit by Swinton Street. I'm assuming someone is walking their horse along there. Who, and why?

Both E&C and St. G's Circus are turds. Honestly, there's so much potential for decent sensible SAFE junctions and instead TFL seemed to be determined to make them stupid and completely over complicated.
The cycle lanes at E&C feel like they've been rolled by drunk people. They're so bumpy. And don't get me started on that ASL.
It NEEDS to be the size of all three lanes with an advance sequence to let bikes go first and a set of snipers to pick off mopeds that sit in the ASL box when it's not for them. Maybe some tyre spikes for the vape lord delivery drivers who always seem to have half their sodding vehicle in the ASL too.

@Ramsaye - good I dislike golfers
@Kat_Balou - Slightly more helpful, thank you :)

I pulled the trigger on the Ikea Vaxer stuff for my windowless kitchen. Probably should have got the smaller size as it only just fits on my fridge, but yeah, I like it. Also I bought a Ficus Benjamina which I've chopped into three bits (one third in pic) and hopefully will do a Bonsai with once it's had a chance to settle

Anyone know where I could get a small/medium amount of cheap sand for repotting house plants?

9 speed chain will work with the rear mech, bit dubious about mixing an 8 speed cassette and 9 speed chain though.
I've just put a Gamut narrow wide on mine, with an 8 speed chain, which appears to work ok

Any suggestions where I ask?

I'm building a desk and I need to make three cuts to some 45x21mm pine. Will this saw do the job? How shit will a £4 saw be?

I'd see how the paving is laid first - if it's laid on sand/ash then it might come up with no more than a bit of jimmying, it could be anything from a couple of inches of sand/ash to remove to several inches of hardcore underneath. I'd probably start with lifting one slab and seeing what it looks like.
My parents took up slabs and had roughly 8cm of ash/sand mix under their garden. But when my dad put the new patio in he laid it on 10cm of hardcore

That looks tight, the amber walls will look even better!
Also, the sticker on the front is just my surname btw - if you wanna remove it

Which jobsworth is responsible for the rumble strips that have been put on the cycle path on Tooley Street/A200 by London Bridge Station? Almost spilled my beer everywhere

Does anyone have any experience with the new Vaxer hydroponics setup from Ikea? Considering getting the house + light only and using it with pots and compost (rather than water) over winter.

Pros and cons of doing it like this? Around £40 for the light + small house

I'll get my my Robert + stoker ready for then

Would love to see more photos of this!

Has anyone got any recommendations for print shops in zone 1? I need 500 A5 flyers for thursday. Is there a forum printer/forum approved printer?

Your old MTBs are so cool

What's the general opinion regarding

• people on longboards
  
• people on rollerblades
  
• people on scooters
  
  

Using the cycle lanes? Specifically the one up and over Blackfriars bridge? Seen a few people doing this recently and can't decide if they're knobs or not

Not sure if the aero seatpost is right either but I will see

It's not, needs a fully black seatpost with saddle with black rails

They're well hidden by this pic, but there are crank boots on here which are not my cup of tea. Lots of potential though

Probably, but personally I wouldn't

Any updates on this?

Anyone know what he's riding?

Things you need to get to make that better

• New wheels
  
• New chain
  
• New saddle
  

I second this, we sell shed loads of these in Camberwell

@M_V Thanks, good to know

The bundles they do look good, but the light sets that come don't suit my needs -
So if I was to go for a wheel like this:

Then I'd need any light set that worked on a 6v right?

I'm thinking about going for a pair of dynamo lights on an old 26" MTB - I'm looking for a fairly budget solution, just how terrible are the Shimano DH-3N31 hubs? From what I can tell they are fairly notchy... Is there another budget option to consider when going for hub dynamos? Is there a particular hub that's well known for price against performance?
This bike won't be really heavily used - mainly used on shitty days.

I'm a complete novice to this so any advice would be appreciated!
