Oh sorry it's actually during the first three seconds. Set to full-screen and watch the peak up and to the right of the golden arches.

^^^ Holy shit, watch the top at 0:03

I carry lights with me all the time, if they're not in my bag they're just cluttering up the house somewhere.

So what kind of coffee should she serve

I think the first thing to establish is how good she wants the coffee to be... is the idea to have better coffee than your regular pub? Or do you just mean 'how can three people running a pub serve coffee at all'?

If the former I'd suggest getting an electric grinder, buying in beans from a nice local roaster (couple in Norwich I think), and brew in a Technivorm Mokkamaster. It's a simple drip process requiring minimal training, you brew a litre at a time, takes 5 mins. Could even run two if it's within the budget. Stays serveable in an insulated jug for an hour. (Don't use anything with a hot plate!)

That photo is amazing if you scroll down to crop it at his shoulders.

Alpro yogurt is full of sugar!

^ Really? Pretty sure every bike in this thread has been locked with a cheap/shit lock, or locked to something shit, or freelocked, or not locked at all (communal hallway, burglary etc). If anything this thread is perpetual confirmation that poor locks/technique will get your bike nicked in London.

Does no-one read this thread until their bike is nicked?

Most new cyclists in London won't come on lfgss and read the 'stolen bikes' thread before they buy a bike and a lock.

Jeez I was really just thinking about the skull fracture part. I've always thought a helmet would prevent cuts and bruises but nothing further. Just think they could've added "we believe that.."

Anyway perhaps I'm nitpicking, it's a good article from the next paragraph on.

...[helmets] can protect you from a bad bruise, serious concussion or even a fractured skull.

Claims like the above could really do with some citation. I haven't really followed the debate for a few years, if it's been shown that helmets can prevent skull fractures that's pretty big news right? I'd buy one today.

Lost for words.

Looks like one of Brian Butterfield's disguises

Never had a better falafel wrap than from Damascu Bite, bottom of Shoreditch High St.

They've stuck on those cartoony "pshh pshh" sound effects you'd use when playfighting at the age of 8, and then the guy unconvincingly says "go!" before they flee.

And yeah no-one in that video seems legit.

Did you have the sound on?

Oh my god. Seems fake?

It's just irritatingly wacky.

Yeah it's done it ever since I got it a few months ago. Can't imagine there's a fix but I'm interested to see if it happens to anyone/everyone else.

Annoying glitch with my MBP – when I open it up it flicks to whichever program I wasn't using last, e.g. I'll be using Chrome, close the lid, open it up a while later and Spotify jumps to the front. Happens with whatever I have open so it's not program-specific. Sounds minor but it's super annoying, especially as it gives you a second to start doing something before it jumps. Any ideas?

I would just like to add that there's also no signal to say a driver has taken their foot off the accelerator.

Dibs. PM'd.

I used to use a courier bag, now I wonder why it even existed

I thought they were shit, then started reading the tweets before the comics, a few minutes later I was in tears. The more nonsensical the better.

Just out of interest, would you rather buy a used leather saddle or a new vegan Brooks? Based on ethics alone. Not really going anywhere with this, I guess it's something I think about but never really discuss.

Did someone do a ninja edit about their thoughts on Brooks ?

Are you thinking of this comment from the linked blog post?

nice to see an option, and a good looking one at that, but then again if you really care about being vegan, you're still supporting a company that uses leather like crazy

I kind of agree, I mean obviously I buy stuff from companies that make non-vegan stuff all the time, but Brooks do 'use leather like crazy'. Why not just make a synthetic saddle and not bother giving it the vegan label? Reckon they get a lot of requests from vegans?

does the sanction have the roll top enclosure?

/\ /\ No, flipping tiny and expensive too

This! Although most of the time I'm really into how compact it is. Before I was using a bigger messenger bag and it was so uncomfortable from the excess space and stuff just knocking around. Small rucksack solved that, can barely feel it on my back.

I mostly wish it was bigger for when I use it off the bike TBH. Not really big enough for a weekend away etc.

I've had some crack around the holes before.

lol
