Terrifying

I hope that when adding sugar to her tea that she accidentally adds salt and then discovers it's the last tea bag in the house.

a lot of my friends that have grown up here (i didn't though) are all moving up to Leeds. I'd never thought I'd see the day when my mate billy moved out, because he loves it here and wouldnt hear a bad word about london. But up there his pay is essentially the same for what he does, but is rent is a QUARTER! He has a massive front and back garden, 15 min cycle from work etc etc etc.

I think that's kinda what he said to the cabbie but he proceeded to just say "well you look like a right faggot". Only to then throw the coffee in his face 5 minutes later?! Bizarre. Shame he didn't get his number plate.

not me, but my work colleague was called a faggot and then had a hot coffee thrown in his face by a black cabbie on that massive roundabout by Hyde Park Corner this morning.

Apparently was 5 mins after they had an argument after my mate slowed down when approaching the a red light rather than gunning it to it and having to slam brakes on.

no cycling for me for a while: on Wednesday morning, the car in front of me had to emergency stop at a junction due to a police escort, and my fingers were crushed between the brake lever and the car! Was lucky no damage to the car and that nothing is broken, just crushed tendons etc.

10/10 would LOVE to see any cctv footage of said highfive and general incident.

I managed to catch the green wave all the way from peckham, over the vauxhall bridge, with a small wait to cross into pimlico. I got green lights pretty much all the way from there into work at south ken.
No rain but LOADS of traffic though. Basically a wall of buses and lorries from Camberwell to Oval but still managed ok.
Days like that make you love the cycle!

Regular occurrence and highly annoying!

That's basically what I'm doing now; as well as generally staying as far away as possible from them.

Hopefully this isn't opening a can of worms...but how customary is it for black cabs to never indicate ever? This morning I counted at least 6 cabs that I was following swerve off last minute causing me to have to slam on the brakes...Also emergency stops for customer pick ups was a favorite this morning.

^^ That's a really neat idea!

I am selling this pannier rack. It has been used but is in very good condition.
It's rated up to 40kg, has the lower rail that can be used for the side panniers, freeing up the top for other items/bags.
I've used these with my Ortliebs and they fit great.
Weight: 1.090kg.

Thanks so much, really appreciate that a lot. Will get a set of these.

I need to replace my old brake blocks on some Weinmann 500s. Basically they are terrible at stopping and a near miss has motivated me to search out better ones. At the moment it's those old metal/rubber square things with a threaded bar and nut. The rims are definitely not steel, probably aluminum if I'm not mistaken...

Any tips?
Thanks

looks like a class A douche to me. Glad you are ok mate!

Had offers on this.
