Good evening,

If you could be so kind as to help me out on a little bit of research i'm doing.[/SIZE]

Does anyone know bike manufacturers in the East Midlands? and if so, the Chairs and heads of each company?[/SIZE]

Also, couldn't find an existing tread.

All the good/famous/etc exhibitions about the history of the bike / design of the bike?[/SIZE]

And finally; any good broadsheet coverage of general biking and who are the frequent writers?[/SIZE]

Thanking you all, oh so.

Anything and everything would be great.

Tar,

Brogue Boy

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
