I now have a mental image of a Bender riding a bike in a ripped denim miniskirt.

Fuckery - Transport and accomodation fallen through at exactly the same time and gf's whimsical shed building mean that I'm out.

At least by next year I should be able to do it fixed.

Could always make it a but more personal and go with I am become Death, Destroyer of Wheels

I think it works better in the full Oppenheimer form.

but I thought it was retro hipster...

Alas no, you slipped into renaissance hipster. Watch out for reformists pointing and laughing.

Can he not admit to the earlier burglary to mitigate his sentencing?

Yep, in court plea to have other offences taken into consideration. Means that he will get effectively next to nothing for them and cannot be pulled for them at a later date.

Still, well done on catching him.

You should try one of these

I though Cycle Surgery were where you went to try stuff out before ordering it from Wiggle and the prices where just a joke?

I've had a set of those Altura Stringbacks for about 2 weeks and the palm/thumb joint is worn through already. Stylin' yes - hardwearing no.

A bit of hit and miss. I had the same problem on one of my pair of Altura Stringbacks but three other pairs have done me really well.

You could try contacting them and asking for a replacement pair.

Could be a number of things. If you can get someone to get a couple of action shots then might be able to offer some suggestions.

Also handy for starting a duel should the occaision arise.

I have to applaud O2 on their commitment to their industry. Fools are so desperate to be parted from their money and they do it for them with the minimum of fuss.

If I didn't wear gloves in summer, I wouldn't get a tan like this - http://trepidexplorer.blogs.com/photos/trans_canada/p6030089.html

I read that thread from a while ago about sneaky ways to exact sweet revenge on thieves who've successfully breached the locks already and are about to ride away into the sunset with our bikes. Definitely an appealing thought, and one that I'd use as a last resort.

Too new for that, although I'm not surprised that it's occured to other people. I'm also planning a quick release chainring to hurl at evil drivers Xena style.

It would be a lot easier to run a gps logger tracked from your computer with an overlay on google maps. Run that with a fisheye button camera mounted in the brake housing and you'll be fully equipped to track them down.

Optional extras include provision of incriminating evidence to the police or retribution with a high-powered rifle from a long distance.

Or you could just wire up a gps logger to a shaped charge in the handlebars. Couple of metres out of place and kaboom, one less bike thief.

There's enjoying an acheivement and there's lapping up attention like a thirsty kitten in a milking shed.

Don't have a problem with it though. He's done one of the few things in this world that entitles people to be smug. Hope he keeps up that level of self-belief, it may well lead him to win the whole Tour one day.

Not saying he can't do it, just that the expectation of the Olympics and the best way to prepare for that are now a factor.

And just to make it crystal clear, I won't think any less of him if he packs and heads of to China tomorrow.

C'mon, after congratulating his team mates, he was lapping up the attention. Besides, I don't have a problem with him being a cocky git. For now it'll probably be the making of him. I just think the psychology of his performance in the mountains will get to him.

I like this one, he/she has a sense of humour. Can we keep it?

Sure, but you're feeding it and taking out for walkies.

FixieFaqs certianly covers just about everything technical you would want to know about fixies but, as the name suggests, that's were it hits its limits.

There is no dedicated site that encompasses all things cycling in the style of wikipedia. By all means go ahead and try. However, I would caution you to exercise a lot of control over such a site. Anyone trying even the simplist of organisation of cyclists will assure you that it's like herding cats.

However, this is untrue, it's like herding cats on ketamine and PCB with guns and knives for hands and castors for feet whilst someone else is opening a tin of cat food.

I don't see the problem. Cycling while drunk makes me fasterer and more invincible.

I don't see him going to the end this year. Once he hit's those hills, the Olympics are going to weigh pretty heavily on his mind. He's a cocky, egotistical, glory grabbing wee sod and trudging up mountains with the the threat of the broom won't rest well on him if he thinks for a moment that it'll jeopardise his success on the track.

I reckon he'll be out by the 15th stage at the latest.

Should be fine with anything really then.

Just check the mounting advise before buying. The two above say they'll fit any bars.
