I've been waiting and waiting for transeuropa ferries to reverse their policy of discriminating against cyclists who are eccentric enough to want to travel either way between Belgium and Kent.
Eight years later nothing has changed.
However I notice now there are fewer sailings on the route, no useful night crossing now, last sailing 18:30hrs, no Saturday service.
I also notice that one of their websites has recently been reported by Google as infectious.
Could it be that this company is teetering on the brink of collapse due to its unimaginative and unsustainable policy?
Could this be a good time for us to help them to understand that not everyone who wishes to cross the channel wishes to carry a tonne of iron.
They do allow motorbikes, I did think of taking the license plate off my Honda and tying it to the back of my pushy, but I think I would be taken more seriously if a few friends could join in the fun.
Transeuopa have always blamed the port of Ramsgate for this inadequacy, the port authority presumably hasn't got over the 94' disaster, but pressure could be put on both parties.
The Kent press might be diverted as long as such a rouse didn't coincide with any newsworthy event.Am I all alone with this nerdy obsession?

Hello I'm glad there are some dynamo nerds in the LFGSS! I've found a great solution to winter commuting, cheap s/h shimano hub dynamo with fancy b&m led iq fly trap super douper front light, I've ecconomised by not having the switching variety and after the winter I'll swop it for a prettier wheel.
However occasionaly my lamp goes out with no obvious wiring faults, is it something to do with how the switch ought to be but isn't wired into the system, am I making any sense? Please let me know.
Thanks, Stephen -

Not a coaster, I'm afraid they have me bang to rights! However I do Know the risks, lock, brake, etc. I'm becoming more and more aware of them as more and more paternalists point them out loudly to me. When I took someone to task for unnecessary horn use this morning he told me I wasn't wearing a helmet. We all have to do our own risk assessments.
I probably will have a rear brake soon due to pressure from the missus, untill then I'll take it easy.Tartan anyone? please?
