Blackburn are giving away free lights at Canon Street at 5.30pm on Monday.

First come first served, so be quick. Shame I don't finish work until 6pm.

I could understand a disqualification from today's stage and a fine, but after Barredo was fined just $381 for a fight
it seems very harsh.

A friend got a pair of Dent rabbit fur gloves for Christmas, they are very special. £25 for a pair is an amazing bargain, unless the seconds have got rabbit's faces and feet as lining.

+ = Warmth

I did my first couple of triathlons last year. I bought a £270 racer from decathlon and it did the trick. I rode without tri-bars and managed to absolutely destroy dozens of people on really slick £1000+ tri bikes. There is no point in having a really expensive tri/tt bike unless you are competing a lot, you are already really fast and are looking to shave off vital seconds/minutes over the 40km bike leg.

This is a good time of year to head over to Decathlon as they will probably be discounting their 2009 stock.

For a 'keyless' lock, that looks remarkably like a key used to open it.

This does seems a bit pointless. You're just as likely to lose the fob as you are a key; so why opt for this over a Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit or any other decent/secure lock?

... and here's the article with a link to the petition at the bottom.

I've had this back from the editor of the East London Advertiser.

Hi,
Thanks for the email.
We have our IT people trying to set up a link for our website and stories to the petition itself.

I've signed it and also emailed the editor of the East London Advertiser (Malcolm.starbrook@archant.co.uk) about it.

Thanks for this link, bought myself a hub on a yellow tshirt; received it yesterday. Looks quality, I might get a few more. They print on American Apparel tshirts and the prices only seem to be a few quid more.

FYI - Wiggle do their own cycle scheme with the same benefits. I'm just sorting it out at the minute, they appear to deal with all the admin; it looks pretty straight forward.

I think a wash and cut is about £16 or so. It'll definitely be less than £20.

They've been cutting hair for over a hundred years and seem to know what they're doing whenever I go in.

Can I take the TT bars if they haven't gone already. Ta.

2nd dibs on the poster. Just round the corner from Kingsland Road.

Is this the bike I often see chained to the railings at Chancery Lane? It always catches my eye. It's a lovely bike. Shame it's too big for me.

Are any UK8?

Once I've got a replacement for it I'll put it up with some pics. It'll probably be about the same price.

Hi,

I've been riding SS for about 9 months - firstly on an 80s Apollo conversion and more recently on a nice Harry Quinn that I got on here. I now want to make the switch to fixed; either straight out or with a flip-flop hub. I would look to convert the Harry Quinn but the frame's a little too small for me.

So I'm after a 54cm fixed or flip-flop. I want it in a ready-to-ride state with no work needing to be none. If it's fixed I would like a front brake. I don't really mind how it looks as long as everything is in good order; it's only really for commuting and getting about town on, I won't be doing any great distances on it. I can spend up to about £200.

If anyone has anything PM me or post details, pics, price.

Thanks for your help.

Cheap beater frame.

If this is still going, I'll happily take it off your hands. Message me if it is.

On the day last week that 2 people were involved in accidents with HGVs a policeman handed me a little booklet on how to deal with HGVs. It was for cyclists and HGV drivers but campaigns need to be sustained. Both drivers and cyclists need to be targeted and reminded every time they take to the road - booklets, signs, stickers, spokecards, ghost bikes, shouted abuse... whatever it takes.

How about transparent stickers with bikes on them for the wing-mirrors of lorries? That way every time the lorry driver looks in the mirror he sees a bike. Print them out and get sticking - subtle but possibly effective gorilla activity. With so many cyclists being killed by lorries; something has to be done. Just a thought.

Hackney (bad part), Hackney (good part). Although I've never moved.

The same thing happened to me yesterday at the lights on Old Street. Except it was a big dog on the passenger seat of a car that tried to lean out of the window and sniff me, and it didn't wave but stuck its tongue out at me instead. So almost the same.
