I'm sure you've all seen this, but its absolute gold if you're a Blur fan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYN_VIbLkKw

Has anybody ridden in Zakopane Poland? I might have a hook up there, but the slopes don't look too amazing from my googling...

I'm around Wapping during the evening/weekend, or Islington durning worky-time, and it'd be good to get this gone by the end of March before I move to an even tinier flat.

Cheers!

...nothing to see here..

That James Holden one is amazing!
A change in direction, but heres mine;

Hmm, a trip to Cambodia seems a bit excessive for a few meters of fabric! Point North looks like just the job though. Thanks!

Bags look great!
Where did you get/what material are you using? I've been thinking of making some myself.
(good luck on the recovery too)

Hello,
Massive thread dredge here, but I'm going to Prague for a stag do next year and not wanting to go all that way and just get drunk for three days, I was wondering if there was some good riding about, and if it was worth hiring a bike and staying a few extra days.
Thanks!

I've ridden the LF1 from Hook Van Holland to Amsterdam. Its excellent quality and reasonably well signposted. If you can deal with english cycle routes you'll be fine, barely even need a map/phone. It can be bloody windy though...

Hi,
Bit of a dredge, but are the Chromes still around to try on/buy?
PM'd

Thanks folks,
Its mostly hope for the best/damage limitation I suppose.

I'm about to do my first solo tour, and I was wondering, what do people do with their bikes/kit when they have to leave them (say to pop into a shop etc)? I'll have a lock, but to take off and carry round a pannier and a seat pack would be pretty annoying.

Thats kind of what I was thinking...
I talked to the Lezyne guy at registration for the 100, and he kinda sold me on it. It now doesn't need to be paired to a phone to give you directions, which was the tipping point for me. Anyway, there's one in the post for me.
Cheers folks!

Hi foks,
Does anyone have any experience with these?

I can't currently afford the more swanky Garmin/Wahoo units, but for basic navigation, would it be of any use. (I get lost so much...)

Hey Thuekr, this looks awesome - I'm just starting to seriously plan my own version of this, but bikepacking/wildcamping. What airline did you use, and were they iffy about having bikes bundled up like that? (seems like the solution to my main problem atm)

I used one last weekend... didn't rip anything, and was held on with electrical tape. I was quite protective of it riding though..

In this particular instance various apps/websites were telling me different things, including signs at the train station saying nothing was going though reading, which would have made for bus replacement services (no bike) despite having booked the bike the night before. So my brother kindly drove me to Reading at 7:30 am on his day off, to find that no, the train had gone through fine.

Yeah, its probably just me and trains don't get on so well.

Hey, I did the Ridgeway last weekend from Princes Risborough to Chippenham (so not quite the start and a little extra on the end) It was great. Not very technical or anything. I wouldn't say it was easier or more fun either way, but perhaps the best way to decide is to figure out how you're getting home. Ie trains back to London from Chippenham are real pain!
