This makes me cry, because I can't afford one and some people do this to them.

Well, you could easily just nick that blue Vivalo if the idiot that owns it insists on locking it up with that cheap aluminium lock*.

*assuming, of course, that the lock is one of those cheap aluminium ones I saw online.

what a douche, why does he not get a jail sentence?

He's been arrested and it appears he may have made bail. In which case, he will go to trial for attempted murder (and most likely be found guilty).

I just got this one:
K6HTB-RQM7Y

£5 off any order over £25. Must be used in the next 14 days.

I couldn't find it when I did a quick search, but I also didn't search too hard b/c it was a very recent story and so I assumed my cursory search was adequate.

Oh well, guess I "got served."

Ouch.

A colleague of mine at work forwarded this link to me. I'm dumbfounded.

Wouldn't it be argued that you were undertaking a car that was indicating?
Was there a bike lane?

I remember reading something about UK traffic law stating that you aren't meant to 'filter' along kerb.

Edit: I checked and only found something that recommends against it (not stating it is illegal):

It's a webpage for motorcyclists, but interesting nevertheless.

I really appreciate all the responses I've received. It's made the prospect of moving into this flat seem a bit brighter... I've been worrying about the amount of space. In fact, I'm not sure where I'm going to be able to put my bike (and I'm not too keen on locking it up outside overnight, every night in Stoke Newington).

I think we might make a trip to IKEA next weekend and see their beds in person... and then decide what's the best option.

An old friend of mine runs this business....

Tell him Joel Priestland put you onto him and you might get a bit off.

Thanks!

You know the Tromso comes in a double (Queen) size, don't you?

I've got 8 bikes, plus a spare frame and a couple of sets of wheels, under mine

really? I need to measure my current bed and see what size it is. UK bed sizes are a bit different. I do have a question about that bed frame, though: is it possible to remove one or more of the bars at the foot of the bed? (I am tall and don't like footboards).

They guy on the far right looks a bit like Humpty Hump.

I wish I had done that to my landlord!

Next time you see him, yell at him and demand that he hand you something he has (like a CD player remote control). When he says no, punch him (along with five of your friends) and fuck up his teeth.

It's perfectly legal.

I made the one where I live at the moment, same deal, small flat, no space.

Making it was pretty straightforward, if you have the time you can learn as you go along.

It's mainly an issue of having access to the tools and the place to build it.

tbh it seems a bit asshole like to assault 4 people for talking shit to you. maybe if they actually did hit him first.

Maybe he is a graduate of the Steven Gerrard/George Bush school of 'self defense.'

I think it's cool that he punched them all and pretty much shut them up... but didn't feel the need to seriously fuck them up or beat them when they were down. He made his point and left.

If the pics don't do him justice, then he must be really good... b/c that stuff looks great. I will probably email him. I want something really basic (and as inexpensive as possible). But I also don't want to break my neck b/c I save a few £££.

Thanks for the link!

save yourself some money

Thanks! I don't know if I could build that, but I might be able to find someone who can.

It looks like my wife and I are moving into a very small one bedroom flat. The one bedroom is exceptionally small, too. So the best option I can think of is to get some sort of 'loft bed' made so we can have our bed off the floor and use the space underneath for storage (the flat has pretty high ceilings).

IKEA and others sell these sorts of things, but they're just too small for me. Any ideas where I can get something like this built?

I just would actually need a raised platform that I can put a mattress on, not a fully-built bed frame. It seems like the construction should be simple enough (I knew a few guys who made similar things in Uni), but I have a) no skill and b) no place to try to build something like this.

Frankie got served.

"Little" ?...

For an American, that guy's svelte...

Maybe we could try an arrange a bout between the skater and that d-lock-wielding bike courier in that other thread.

(And maybe have old Chinese guy vs wannabe gangsta as the other fight).

This is hilarious.... What a POS

I hate 'theme' bikes.

Awesome.
