Commie, was this at about half 6 this morning? If so, it was my housemate Ian who got hit...

Car slowed down as approaching the roundabout from his left, Ian carried on with the right of way and then the last thing he remembers is seeing the front wheel of the Golf and bouncing head first off the windscreen and the road. His lovely red singlespeed which I built was thrown across the roundabout with enough force to shear a pedal in two.

He's now under 24hour supervision with head injuries, a possibly fractured cheek, a mangled ear and feels like he been beaten up. I've just got off the phone to him and he's in great spirits considering!

If a lady was also hit this morning, then heal up quick to her too!

You're right, there are five of us that live together, we all ride across that roundabout twice a day and agree that the number or cars that pull out and pedestrians that step off the kerb is ridiculous.

Doh, bike's covered from back to front in black oily crap

So is my hip/arm/shoulder after I went for a swim in it round a corner. Nice hole in my new jacket too. Fail.

You would think they'd go faster, but in fact they're more sluggish.

I'm using those pedals ^ with a set of George's straps on my pub beater and they're spot on. Support the forum I say, and buy some from him.

I can't do Camberwell, throw it to the dogs.

Where abouts are you based?

You have PM Steve.

Forgot to post a little note saying my straps have arrived, haven't got round to fitting them yet, but they look/feel awesome, fit pedals well and seem to be pretty good value. Will update in good time, cheers George - great service.

I was on Dragon's Den once but got chucked out.

Apparently asking Deborah Meaden to "fuck off and get me a sandwich while the men talk business" is unacceptable.

Dibs free Sakae drop bars, if you're happy to post.

I've got an 80mm one in SW6 you can have after 6pm for a fiver. Battered but polished!

Dibs tools. Awaiting update...

This has just popped up on BBC News...What a hero for 89!

Prov dibs Motobecane for a friend pending photos/viewing.

Varno, what length is steerer/how much is threaded? I'd be keen for them if Wicksie don't want them.

Came past both these poor guys last night, the second one was awake when I passed, although the ambulance were getting the stretcher out.

Fix up quick.

I certainly wouldn't condone shortie action in Newcastle! I was up there for 4 years and it was either brave the boardies for 10 mins or 5/3, hood and gloves. I'm sure the Geordie lot will have something to say about that, but I'm a southern fairy.

If you're surfing up in Newcastle I'm guessing you'll be at Tynemouth? The surf shop at the top of the beach does pretty cheap board and wetsuit hire and are a friendly bunch too.

I'll take the brakes if the levers will fit ye olde bars. Ta.
