Muscular thighs = nice on a lady

Flabby thighs = not nice

Go fixed but get brakes. It's not so much the going up of hills as the coming down them.

I wear a Giro Ionos. Only needed to once but I'm bloody glad that I was wearing it then. If it were not for my helmet I would be a veggie with the intellectual capabilities of the dumb fuckwit pedestrian who stepped out in front of me the week before last.

The Giro ionos is a brilliant if very expensive helmet. Worth every one of the £129 I paid for it.

I cannot recommend the wearing of helmets strongly enough. Please do. You have nothing to lose by wearing one and plenty to lose by not.

It looked so nice until I spotted the derailleur

Twice in one day I saw police vehicles plonked in ASLs. One of the traffic lights was where I had seen a cyclist pulled over a couple of days before for going through a red light when no one was around.

If the police don't respect the law and apply it in an arbitrary fashion, we live in worrying times.

I love the comment by the Local Government Association muppet:

"We have got two powers, the first is to enable advance stop lines to be enforced to give cyclists the benefit at traffic signals...."

So this is now an admission that ASLs are not enforced. Why have them? They only give cyclists a false sense of safety. It seems that laws against cyclists will be enforced and those that are meant to help them will not be enforced. Whatever happened to Magna Carta?

What types of performance enhancing drugs will hanbibo need for the tube? Boris has banned booze. Mogadon perhaps?

1 road (with a cross frame). 1 fixed (with flip flop ss). One hybrid.

I bought my chrome metropolis bag (second in size to the kermlin) in New York recently for $120 (£60) which is very good value. Check the Chrome website for a dealer near where you will be staying:

I know has been already here, but I don't care!!!

with this face and this body i could post her every week

Beautiful bibs ;o)

Is there any real need for them?

Bloody superb.

15 stones of rider; 20 mph, Ionos helmet; pedestrian's face.

Castration would then be pointless. They are cloned in a secret laboratory in Harpenden.

They are probably all young deliquent disciples of Matthew Paris. Did they look like Times readers or Young Conservatives?

OK, it's not a fixie but it's hot.

The sad fact is that when only 46% of the electorate vote, the majority get what they deserve.

Hello,

I'm going to put together a fixie for my commute to the City. It needs to be light because there's a 200m stretch of 1% gradient,

For heavens sake. A bike like that is not for riding. It's for hanging on the wall and looking at and for showing off to guests and other visitors. Riding is will make it dirty and singularly less aesthetic. If you want to ride, CycleSurgery or Evans will do you a very nice hybrid. Better still, take cabs.

I've got it. Picked it up yesterday. It is very pretty indeed. 48 x 18.

All I need to learn now is how to upload a photo of it.

Saw someone on top of Box Hill recently totally Raphaed up. He looked very silly.

Assos is nice and technically great but very expensive. I've just come back from New York with a sackful of Castelli kit. Beautiful and practical and stylish and, at dollar prices, almost affordable. Assos was still too procey out there. Mind you, look at their website for the pictures of the women's bib kniockers and bib tights. Very nice.

I think it's 3 years for civil claims. Criminal depends on the severity of the offence, as you point out.

Civil personal accident and death claims are three years from the date of accident(Section 11 Limitations Act 1980.) All other tort claims, for example for damage to your bike, are six years (section 2 Limitations Act 1980).

Generally there is no limitation period for criminal cases although prosecution for some motor offences must be brought within a certain period of the offence. You need not worry about this as you will not be bringing the prosecution. The police or CPS will. If you are injured, sue in the civil courts. You will receive compensation. If the driver is prosecuted, it is very nice, but gives you nothing.

I am going to experiment with gears. With a short commuting ride - City to Islington - I am looking for a workout but not to kill my knees. I am heavy and therefore have strong legs (they need to be to carry me) and for a three mile commute am happy to be out of the saddle most of the time. With such a pretty white saddle, it would be a pity to put my lardy arse in it anyway. Cyclefit say that they are happy to change gears, which compensates for my technical shortcomings. Better to start a little high and drop down rather than coast too easily.

It arrives the week after next. I am getting as excited as a five year old waiting for a first bike.

That's the one.

I am heavy and will be using this bike for a three mile commute and short training rides. I am starting high but may, as age takes its course, drop down.
