Going by the Royal Fail price checker, signed for 2nd class would be about £6.30, standard 2nd would be £5.25

1. Mio Cyclo 305 HC GPS device - This is brand new, unused and in its original packaging. My other half won it in a compo at the Bike Show, but she doesn't have a bike to put it on! It comes with cadence and heart rate sensors, and does all manner of whizzy satellite navigation doodaddery. - **£140 **

2. Asus Fonepad - This one was another unwanted prize (Yes, we are a very lucky couple). It's factory fresh and the packaging is still shrinkwrapped. It's a 7in tablet with built-in 3G and is also a giant phone. It's the perfect accessory for pretending you're Dom Joly etc. -** £140**

3. Shimano Tiagra 4550 Compact chainset - 175mm - This has done quite a few miles and the chainrings are proper knackered. The cranks are in good nick, though - I only changed to a new set as it was cheaper to buy a whole new chainset than buy new chainrings. I'll leave the chainrings on just so you get a full set of chainring bolts. - £20

4. Charge Spoon - white - ridden for a couple of hundred kms at most. Too squidgy for my 15 stone bulk. -** £10**

5. More to come, and I'll grab piccies when I get a sec or two.

No dibsing. Paypal or BT or cash or diamond rings all accepted. All prices exclude postage, and UK only at that. I can meet peeps around W1 if that suits!

Maybe.

Nobody wishes that on anyone.

Nobody puts baby in the corner.

Think of all those Strava KOM's that will probably never be beaten.

The horror, the horror...

Black XLG shorts (not bibs!), brand new in lovely Assos box. Bought on a whim, but they too baggy for my shapely behind.

I wear XLG in the Assos Mille bibs, but these are a little bit B.I.G all round. Details and sizing stuff here: http://www.assos.com/en/19/singleProduct.aspx?cat=6,19,22&prod=266

They come with a little mesh wash-bag to keep them safe in the washing machine, too. Aww.

I'm after what i paid, which wos £60 plus deliverification. UK only pleasethankyoubye. Happy to accept BT, Paypal or cold hard cash if anyone wants to meet in London W1 area.

Is there something about folding bikes which turns normal people into desperate, gibbering morons?

next year i'd like to leave later, ride faster and win on strava.

ftfy

I've seen some dude in the West End on a road bike with 2 Go Pros - 1 forward, 1 back. Made me feel a bit uneasy whilst riding behind him (so I flicked some V's at him to make the viewing a little more fun for later).

That's probably him. I wonder why he needs two of them.

Not necessarily a bad cyclist, but has anyone clocked the fella with the twin (yes, TWIN!) helmet-mounted Go Pro cameras on the red road bike?

He has a small radio strapped to his arm, too, for extra hipster oddness.

My WTFconfused face may now be on Youtube.

Calling out the twat in the black Gore tights and skin-tight black top on the Felt* this morning. Attempting to undertake a car which is indicating left, even if it has been indicating for bloody ages and dithering in-between two lanes, is bloody stupid. You deserve to get run over, you bell.

*this may have been me

Black car

Racist.

I did it, there and back, a few times.

Its not so bad,

remove these ideas from the thought process:

-finding a non-hilly route
-doing it by canal
-entirely avoiding busy a-roads

Its so far that you have to compromise. I'm at work at the moment, but i will post up my rough route a bit later. You will need lucosade and flapjacks.

Did it (geared) in around 6 hours, 125miles, but with a lunch break.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The London to Brighton was one long Oh Shit moment from beginning to end.

It's not cool to brake with your face, people. Although, to be fair, it is a very effective stopping technique.

Some massive twats on the Jamaica Road eastbound last night.

One epic twunt aboard a road bike was intent on almost crashing into the back of anyone who dared stop at a red light. He was riding like someone had sprayed Deep Heat in his cycle shorts. Like a flailing cock.

And as for the fucking nodders. Good grief. I've never seen it that bad.

What a lovely man.

Yesterday evening - cunt in a white merc decides to stick himself behind me in a box junction in Holborn. Guy starts beeping continuously, gesticulating wildly as if I have room to move forward - there's a bus directly in front, as well as another cyclist and a motorbike side by side, and a car wedged in on the left hand side trying to get out of the bus lane. Bloke continues bipping impatiently, by this point I'm getting a mite annoyed so give him the finger.

Then, as the lights go green for the cars on the other side of the junction, he just starts edging directly into me, pushing me sideways. Even after banging on his bonnet, he just kept creeping forward, pushing into my leg and chainset. Had to jump awkwardly sideways and lean against the car to my left to get clear.

At this point, traffic starts to move, and he clearly isn't going to pull over and exchange details as he's already tailgating the cars in front. Couldn't get the number plate due to the amount of traffic, but, unfortunately, I think his wing mirror may have been damaged in the incident.

Peds are cunts, cyclists are cunts, drivers are cunts.

One man's acceptable behaviour is another man's cuntishness in extremis

I don't know where I'm going with this

I think you were saying something about cunts.

Noddergeddon is upon us.

My 9am commute from Plumstead to Goodge Street is normally pretty nod-free up until London Bridge area. Not any more. Yesterday, I had at least a couple of adrenaline fuelled pissflaps go for dodgy high-speed undertakes at a red light, and there were a whole heap of wobbly twunts meandering along the road in random, unpredictable squiggles. Some proper future Darwin award winners.

Almost 2/3rds off the retail price... Worth forsaking the warranty for, surely?

I need excuses not to remortgage my girlfriend/kidneys/eyeballs dammit.

Any idea what the deal with warranty is? I'm presuming the lifetime warranty only extends to the original owner...

£25 posted. (Or 20 litres of NOS Um Bongo)

To the woman on Newgate Street this AM, shouting "BUT I AM IN MY CYCLE LANES" is not an appropriate response to being called out for dangerous undertaking.

PS. I thought your waterproof hareem pants were quite cool, even if they looked like you;d made them out of sticky tape and binbags.

Third dibses. Happy to meet in central london innit

How many litres of Um Bongo would you require as payment for this fine piece of American engineering?

367mm/(Um Bongo x 30.9) to the power of 2 = 26.8 litres. I'll do it for 22 litres if you collect.
