If you really want to prioritize train links to London, Grantham had a fast line in. I do not know how nice it is to live in, though.

My brother lives just outside Grantham. Some lovely villages around there but Grantham itself is a fucking dump. Not helped by the massive statue of Thatcher outside the Wetherspoons.

I might start taking my lunch in a Peli case covered in Hazmat and "Contains Human Spunk" stickers with me on the occasion that I have to get the overground to work. Might get me some personal space.

Not really. The Abus ones are at least reliable. Some came with Magnum locks which jammed immediately and could be cut in about 10 seconds.

Buzzbike have gone into administration so are selling off their fleet.
I imagine some people, like that seller, have bought a load of them to resell. So they're not nicked but there's no guarantee the seller knows anything about bikes.
I used to work for Buzzbike and the non-electric ones are basic but decent. You can do worse for £70!

Yeah, to clarify, the hunter is the cunt. Not the bear (or kilo24).

Nailed it I reckon! Just do something wild with your hair (if you're able).

You could always get a pair of secondhand shoes and then sell them on after the event to reduce costs and waste. I did the same when I attended a black tie event in summer. I think I lost about a fiver on the whole thing.

llama fibre filled duvets.

Barry Homeowner shit.

Outrageously cute. Glad to hear she's doing so well after a rocky start!

I spotted this bike's long lost cousin earlier. Sorry for the crap photo, I was trying to be discreet.

Good riddance cunt

I would love nothing more than for this place to carry on unchanged (well, more or less) forever. If it does have to shutter, it will be a genuine blow. I think the way the community has come together to remember and honour someone from among our ranks in the last few days says it all.

I stumbled across this place when I was looking to buy my first "fixie" to get me to and from university, knowing nothing about bikes and not really having an interest in cycling beyond a means of cheap transport. I wouldn't have half of the friends I have now, both forumers and other non-forum losers who are also into bikes if it wasn't for the community here that opened my eyes to the joys of cycling. I've spent the last 7 or 8 years working with bikes in one capacity or another and that wouldn't be the case either without this place. My current job is incredibly rewarding and allows me to help pass that passion on to other people.
I'm just immensely grateful for everything Velocio and the wider community of goons on here have given me.

Whilst I would be gutted to lose this place, I would completely understand the decision. Velocio has already given so much to make this the place it is, it's not at all reasonable to expect even more.

I think that all modern car stereo/navigation systems are too "hands on" and distracting. I'm currently on a trip in a friend's car that has dials and buttons to adjust maps/music etc. It takes just as much, if not more attention to adjust anything than a touch screen. If I'm driving, I'll have whoever's in the front seat use it. It must be a nightmare if you're driving on your own.

Yeah that's probably it. It just feels quite plastic-y and unpleasant!

Check in from the floor of a squalid euro hell hole: the decathlon bag is a bit shit, haha. It's nice and warm and compact but seems to be lined with a bin bag. Spent all night scrunching around with the bag sticking to me.

I think about this far more often than I should. I can't even look at a one way sign normally anymore.

Don't go the wrong way down a one way street. That didn't do me any favours on my first test.

I picked up a Decathlon number. Looks alright, came to £70 which seems reasonable. Will report back from the floor of some squalid euro hell hole.

Unbelievably sad news.

That was my initial thought. Any idea if their own brand camping stuff is decent?

I ended up ordering something from Sport Pursuit which still hasn't arrived a couple of weeks later (despite being marked as in stock and the rest of the order turning up promptly). I'm going away on Thursday and I'm not confident of it arriving in time which leaves me a bit stuck.
Where in London has a brick and mortar shop with a decent selection? I'd rather get something decent that will last but also can't justify/afford anything mega pricey.

@sacredhart maybe?

Any suggestions for a good recipe book for baking? My step dad has been making various types of sourdough for years so don't need something to cover the basics, I'm more looking for some interesting new ideas for him to try.

I think you're right actually!
