seat advice needed:

For longer rides my 6y old daughter is still on the bobike mini front seat, testing the 15kg weight limit. It’s amazing to have her in front coz we can talk. It’s also nice the seat removes completely bar a small bracket so I can have my bike back when she’s not on it.

What are seat options for +6y? Ideally in front and easily removable or minimal when not in use.

The oxford top tube seat doesn’t fit as the connecting bit to the footrests is too short. I was also looking at Urban Iki Junior seat which folds down but that’s in the back and I’d have to fit a rear rack for it.

Anything obvious I’m missing?

v nice

yeah the name is misleading but from my experience (and I seemed to remember Fischer’s own specs) they don’t need a cavity, the metal ‘umbrella’ still expands in the foam insulation and pulls tight behind the plasterboard. Tho I had 100mm and studs in front of a brick wall.

I’ve used these (maybe different length) to put up twin slot book shelves on insulated plasterboard. Get the setting tool.

This could potentially completely destroy the usefulness of web searches.

one of the least destructive scenarios

ah sorry, just checked and tracking dropped in Eynsford so it tries to shortcut to Bower Lane. And yes needs something nicer to Mottingham Lane

did a first half marathon (ish), including some steps towards the end - thnx many on this thread for advice along the way

I was training towards the Hackney Half, my first race / half marathon, until a few weeks ago when they sent the message below announcing a “sustainable low-cost airline” as their main sponsor. 🤯 I’ll run a half on my own. Why aren’t they getting more backlash against this? (sry not directly running related.)

I do this occasionally

cool - I pm’d my number

I have 2 heat guns for some reason, pls come take one, keep as long as you need, i’m in SE16. I’ll pm my number.

thnx, also @TW - was working on lower leg strength already and will look into these exercises. A very gentle 4k run yesterday was ok, tho def not back to normal. I want to make sure i’m not compensating for this in a way which will mess things down the line.

Injury advice. Started running recently, doing the Nike Run Club half-marathon plan, running 3/week (intervals, recovery, long.) Ran a first 15k last Friday, maybe a bit fast but feeling good. Then last Monday after 10min comfortable running my left calf starts to hurt, gradually but fast. Tried running slower but had to stop and was hurting when walking back home. Didn’t run for 5 days, did gentle stretches and standing calf raises. Almost a week later, I still feel my calf when regular walking. Should I rest more or go back to running? Anything else to help with this?

Energy companies. We moved into a (sort of) new house 1 y ago so didn't have much choice other than British Gas (gas) and Eon (electricity) but I'm very keen to move. Anyone have good experience with Octopus ? If so, want to share a reference code (we both get £50)? Others I should be looking at?

thnx, hadn’t seen this before. The motion design is a bit heavy handed sometimes but the series is v good, I liked the deconstructing rap one too:

damn that’s good, and also a bit depressing

But if you want to avoid unnecessary buying (you're on the wrong forum)
lol

thnx for the advice, it's very helpful, also @Airhead

Should I get a heart rate monitor or running watch or smart watch or nothing? I'm only just starting to run more regularly: I did my first 10k run this week and I'm hoping to run 3 times/week, currently doing the half marathon plan with the Nike Run Club app on my phone. Would knowing my heart rate be useful? If so, should I get a heart rate monitor or watch? Which one should I look at? (I'm generally not a consumer-tech fan.)

I’m using Nike Run Club on my phone (with headphones), either guided runs (some of the coaching is a bit annoying) or non-guided (will still tell you intervals.) Haven’t been running for that long and don’t want to buy a watch (yet.)

looking to upgrade from cnoc16
let me know if you have something.
I’m in SE16 but happy to travel a bit to collect
thnx!

thanks. everything that’s up (slats and gas spring) is ikea, the wooden base is made.

the ikea bed is called malmo, got it last year in Greenwhich I think but we wanted it lower and with a wider mattress.

new bed, reusing the mechanism of the (not so) old ikea bed
