Panaracer do a 23.

Narrowest is 25 - but good looking nonetheless

Would be good to know what size the frame is...

I likey. Dark brown works for me! Rats! Can't seem to find anyone who has them in stock...

NEVER under/overtake a lorry, let alone an HGV.

Can't say this enough

Jewish People are great until you start doing business with them..,...

Nice to hear that there is still good Samaritans in this world.

The professionalism of the duty to public care was as moving as it was effective

If you're going to get knocked off anywhere, do it in Golders Green. The guy I saw in bad shape last night didn't have much choice though.

6:25pm on Thurs 10.7.08 at the junction of Finchley Road and Ravenscroft Avenue in Golders Green: 50 year old cyclist lying on the ground in pain and in a heap, his mountain bike mangled, people carrier taxi hit him.

I stopped to see what I could do. Not much actually. A small army of kippor-wearing religious Jews were in full effect. Ambulance called - check. Trained paramedic at his side - check. Taking photos of the scene - check. I asked if there was a witness - check - the guy taking pictures saw the accident.

I spoke to the cyclist. All he could do was moan, clearly in much pain and perhaps he knocked his head (no helmet) cos he was truly out of it. The only two words he could muster and it took a lot of effort on his part, were "didn't indicate". This made sense to me. Finchley Rd was really backed up that evening and an impatient driver had turned, perhaps quite suddenly, through the cyclist to escape the traffic.

Poor guy. His leg had an ugly "sliced" look - like someone had hacked it with a sword. The young Jewish paramedic stemmed the blood with his neck tie. I was confident that he was surrounded by excellent helpers with an ambulance ordered so I rode home through the NW London traffic queue. Very. Slowly.

want the best, get the Surly, best thing about Surly, is that it'll feel like it's the last bike you'll ever own.

Having bought the Steamroller a couple of weeks back, that is totally the way I feel. The biggest thing for me was not moving from gears to gear, but riding a steel bike and the buttery, yummy ride that I never want to stop. But... if I was to buy another bike - and we'd all like to - it would now be a steel road bike/racer

Just to prove it to myself, I looked at the BTA website http://www.britishtriathlon.org/events/page.php?article=&category=/events/&folder=rules/ at the two PDFs of rules there - Competition Rules (no mention of freewheels) and Technical Rules, which has a paragraph in bold about freewheels (see attached). You only need one working brake according to the Competition Rules, but Technical Rules prescribes two. Go figure. Am now ordering up a freewheel...

...and for those going out or if your telly is broken, catch my band - Bea and the Honeytones - at The Kings Head in Upper Street at 9.30pm-11pm - it's free to get in.

I admit I locked my bike to someone else's by accident at my place of work - it was dark is my only excuse. I can imagine how irate the guy was, he left work earlier than me to pick his kid up from school - BUT he went at my bike like a wild thing, damaging the lock (he tried to hacksaw it off but failed), breaking two spokes and chipping the paint. I imagine he kicked it once ore twice. He made himself known to security at the time to try and get them to cut it free, so I knew who's bike it was. I called him, said sorry for locking up through his bike and asked him to compensate me for the damage. He refused. In the end, I reported the damage to the police and he coughed up £25 cash before things got out of hand...

I have this problem - Pearl Izumi used to do some nice regular-looking shoes - Fluid and another one - I have it in blue. PI have quite a wide fitting, which suits me well. Shimano do some reasonable lace-ups, but they are too narrow for me. Any suggestions?

I have some brand new Wellgo pedals with straps - came with my Steamroller but subbed for SPDs before I took it out of the shop. Make me an offer by PM!
