petrichor. always wanted to use that word

One of the newspapers had a link to this article on the risks presented by these kinds of cladding if not appropriately installed. Makes for chilling reading

Examine your motives. Why do you find it impossible to see a post about the holocaust or antisemitism without feeling obliged to remind everyone that jews don't have a monopoly on persecution?

I've got one too. Fun ride, pretty heavy though with all the holdsworth parts. Currently off the road following altercation with motorised vehicle

For the record only. Got knocked off my fixed gear by an 80 year old on a motor scooter in Regent's Park on Sunday afternoon. For some reason he thought to overtake me on the inside after I had indicated, moved to the center of the road and commenced a right turn from the Outer Circle into Chester Road which leads to the Inner Circle on the eastern side of the park. Buckled my rear wheel, demolished my saddle, pedal, shredded my shorts and shoes, plus lost bark on my hip, buttock, knuckles and arm.
The cops happened to arrive within seconds, but then I stood around bleeding for the better part of an hour while they undertook their incident investigation. When they established that my bike wasn't rideable and I would need a taxi one of them thoughtfully gave me an empty evidence bag to sit on so I wouldn't bleed on a cabbie's seat (!). Thanks also to rubbernecking smug roadie douchebags watching with interest for lap after lap. To be fair, if I was on my mamil chariot that would be me. No point stopping to offer help with four cops already there.
Based on a chat with the motorists insurer they may not contest fault so perhaps payment for the damage and bandages will follow shortly. Hope springs external
