Police were called to the A6 Derby Road, between Hathern and Kegworth, just after 1.20pm. It was reported the collision had involved a silver Mini Cooper and a cyclist.
The cyclist, a man in his 60s, was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre for treatment but died shortly after arriving. The driver of the Mini – a man in his 20s – was not injured during the collision. No-one was arrested.
unfortunately the first of two fatalities in the Loughborough area in the space of two days.
I'll update if I hear any further info
RIP rider

i know it's at the cheapo end of things, but does anyone have any experience of the wltoys brushless buggies?
i'm awaiting delivery of a 124016 for me and my teenage child to mess about with and have read that it might need some setting up before running it despite it being a rtr (greasing the difs etc)
40mph out of the box means it probably won't be long before it needs some tlc... -
what a space! subbed.

i was almost tempted, but my will (and aversion to adding to landfill) held out.
they also had inflatable paddleboards including bag, paddle, dry bag, pump etc. for £169 which actually looked not bad interms of value?

i've not ridden it far yet but i've had bikes with coaster brakes before so i'm used to how they work.
i'll fit a front brake at some point (although currently it has the potential for barspins)
maybe i could get a hollow bolt and internally route the front brake bmx style? 🤔 -
spotted in the middle today...🫣

I was lucky enough to get hold of this sweet little mini cargo a couple of days ago.
I've since made a couple of changes to it to personalise it a bit, but won't be doing anything too drastic as it's so original.
I put on a spare brooks c17 and a nice aero campag seatpost I had knocking about and also changed the swept bars for some chrome risers to make it fit a bit better.
I picked up a folding crate from the 'midl at Lidl' which I've adapted slightly to fit onto the front rack.
I've been lusting after a mini cargo for ages, really love the petit porters and Orbea Katu's but couldn't quite justify the cost of a new one so I was super stoked to get hold of this. it was only about 20 mins drive from my house to pick it up and it's in stunning condition considering it's from 2014, apparently having been purchased and then unridden for the first 9 years of its existence. -
eurosport has ads though...

course looks really bumpy as well, the french rider's computer looked like it was about to come off.

the kit is incredible! -
this is almost as boring as actual sport

only good for a short trip to the beach in flip flops
that's my exact use case. want one even more now. absolutely spot on for rolling down to the marina
this is the new electric version - just watched jonny smith carving around in one on the late brake show on youtubes.

yes pls. will pm now.
i'm in loughborough so easy pick up hopefully! -
very cool. share it when it's done if you can.

perfect! much better than doing stuff in midjourney if it can be avoided and puts food on the table for a real human who has doubtless spent years honing their craft.
VP stuff in unreal is pretty mindblowing - i went to the unreal conference at excel a few years back and i found the stuff they were doing with virtual studios and cameras really impressive.
the AI question gets thrown around in our studio a lot from those higher up the chain at the moment so i know how frustrating it can be when someone says, "can we use AI?"
i was almost embarrassed to suggest it tbh...
best of luck with the project!

i sort of considered building to the boundary when we did ours, but couldn't get my head around not having any external access to the back garden in case of needing to do any major work (such as building a shed or tree work)
do you have alternate access? -
