Helloo,

Have these gawn? :)

Dibs cranks and brakes pls.

I think he means 'light'. Just some confusion in the ital/eng translation.

Is the top tube c2c 57? If it's nearer 58 it might be a go pour moi......

Aagh. Too many cranks. Just won an Ebay auction for some Rotors I'd forgotten I'd bid on.

RHA MA150 Noise Isolating In Ear Earphones: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Cheap and great-sounding 'phones - easily the match of far pricier Shure/Sennnheiser/UE earphones in my experience. At £11 a pop, you can afford to buy a couple of pairs.

Because I'm a total bellend, I jumping lights all over the place because I want to win on Strava with all the accelerating. Much speed. So KOM. sorry everyone. will get it sorted soon.

Seconded. Seriously, fuck you.

What is it with some cyclists having such a beef against people who use cameras? It makes no difference to your life, if anything the convictions they help secure probably improve it.

Disagree completely. They could secure convictions without posting anything in the public domain, but instead they court attention. It's their videos which reinforce some drivers' belief that cyclists are self-righteous rant-inclined dickwads.

Chap on a hybrid, jogging bottoms tucked into socks, talks to himself alot, and likes swearing at cars for no reason. Smells a little bit funky. Shouted WANKER at a car for creeping towards the stop line at a red light, then looked at me for camaraderie and blurted something about car drivers.

Seen him pull similar shit a few times on the way up High Holborn. I'm seriously considering asking him politely to reconsider his combative attitude. Seriously.

All saddles will be uncomfortable if the bike fit is off. I was going through saddles until I got Adrian Timmis on the case - one bike fit, sorted.

I'm pootling along past Woolwich common at 20mph when I become aware of the sound of a car engine behind me.

Closer. Closer. Silver Merc Benz slowly draws level with me, not indicating, and my spidey sense starts to tingle. Lo and behold, Mr Benz decides he wants to turn left at the lights about 20 metres ahead, still not indicating, and begins pulling left as if I wasn't even there. FUUUU.

Luckily a heavy dab of the brakes and a swerve to the right got me clear, but if I hadn't very slightly slowed when I first saw him, I would have probably started my Monday commute with a dash of unsolicited car/tarmac hugging.

This only reinforces my belief that all drivers of (particularly second-hand/older) Benzes are massive twats.

If you're getting inconsistent readings then there are a few possible reasons. Heart rate straps do tend to fail eventually, and when they do they start registering bonkers heart rates such as 200+. Also, if the batteries in the sensor are dying, they can give silly readings too.

My best luck has been with the Polar soft straps. These are compatible with Garmin ANT+ clip-on sensors; the Polar sensors, however, aren't ANT+, so don't bother with those.

On my ride home I actually called a guy out for once (well I said "you know you ride like a dick bro?" anyway) but he ignored my voice of reason much as he ignored the horn of the truck that nearly crushed him. He had also nearly been flattened about 20 seconds earlier during a particularly stupid rlj atempt. We were on the same stretch of road for less than a minute so not bad going.

I don't bother usually but I'm fairly sure he was "racing" me so I felt like I should say something.

But did you check him out?

Can male cyclists stop rubber necking/checking out women pedestrians please? It's really obvious and pathetic. Just because you're on a bike doesn't make you anonymous.

What about mutual checking out? Is that permissible? Or is it ladies-first? DAMMIT I NEED PROTOCOL.

DID SOMEONE SAY MERINO SOCKS?

£4 for 6 pairs. I've got drawers full of these. The thicker dark grey/blue ones he has are great for colder days, but I wear the normal weight ones all year round. Bargain.

That wouyld be called taking primary position in the road.

You win today's CLEVER CLOGS clog. Wear it with pride.

There's nothing wrong with taking primary position, but staying there all the time? No. That's just being cunty.

Twat in the suit going past London Bridge station towards Bermondsey last night. If you cycle in the middle of the road for no fucking reason, then it's likely that cars (and I) will get quite annoyed with you. Kicking a taxi driver's door for having the temerity to go past you is a dick move, as is forcing fellow cyclists to pull into the opposite lane just to get by.

Sailing out into a busy crossroads by swinging onto the wrong side of the road and then back into a busy mass of cyclists isn't likely to get a hug either. Yes. A prick you are.

I almost squished a lady who KITCHEN walked out without looking. Also undertook a boris biker who KITCHEN was doing some random bus lane weaving. Sorry boris.

During my recent 2 week holiday in France, I witnessed ubermental driving - i counted three overturned cars which the drivers had managed to spin and roll on relatively sedate country roads. There was plenty of equally mental overtaking, and chaps doing equally mental speeds at every opportunity. French drivers are clearly batshit. Mental.

When it comes to overtaking bicycles, though, they are ten billion times more careful than any british driver. They slow down, give plenty of space and, more often than not, make friendly comments or shout enthusiastic greetings as they go past. Even on busy roads with big old lorries, every driver I encountered gave me plenty of room.

Coming to back to the London commute was absolutely terrifying.
