Thanks Lynx, I've waited 10 years for that. It's a badge of honour

I used to post a lot on BR up until about 10 years ago predominantly in Pro Race. It used to be good for that but became dominated by a couple of personalities. As it was the lure of the perverse world of fixed gear took over.

Looks like he's well and truly fuck a doodled. His biographer has waded in about him being handsy and it appears that global food giant Nestle complained about him being a lewd cunt to their staff last year

For someone with a mild curiosity in astronomy such as myself it was great. We were booked to see 2 films in the planetarium and there were some young kids in the audience who absolutely knew their shit in the follow up Q and A's.

As a surprise birthday treat I was taken here on saturday night. Apparently it is the first week of opening although there appears to be an older observatory on site...

Our local MP has said he is going to vote against it. My wife (pro assisted dying choice) emailed him to find out which way he would vote. when he replied, his reasons for his proposed vote against was the pressure he believed that would be put on the elderly.
To be honest I was underwhelmed by his reasoning as I believe that the checks and balances proposed in the legislation don't support his concerns.

I want(ed) to be a hipster. The closest I came was during the pandemic when I grew a massive beard and rode around Douglas prom on my fixie.
Because it was the Isle of Man no-one noticed or commented not one "you fucking hipster!" was uttered which made me sad.

Agree entirely. I like the lap thing also because I have the comfort of knowing if it is becoming miserable for whatever reason I can just call time a lot easier. The days of suffering on long rides is well behind me now. I'm with you all the way on this.

I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back... Mitsubishi frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a Quashqai bound for the Daihatsu Camps with sweat in my eyes watching stars fight on the shoulder of Nissan... I've felt wind in my hair, riding test Jukes off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet of Toyotas burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...

I like the lap thing. To some people the idea of just going around the same route in purgatory but I just enjoy being on the bike. I often wonder how many people who don't like laps or out and backs are happy to sit for hours doing Zwift.

A big thank you and shout out to @Mahalolily for his prompt and careful packaging of the goods I purchased off hi. A very good trader with great comms.

Sounds ideal in principle but doesn't necessarily play out that way. Searching for discounted kit online is time consuming and the supplier isn't going to give you the 30,60 or 90 day account that your Madison or Chicken wholesaler is. There may also be warranty issues if it isn't supplied in OE packaging and is punted on to customers. LBS's know where they stand with their wholesalers and if discounting suppliers were feeling that generous to LBS's they'd be offering the kit through B2B.
My LBS (Lloyds cycles in Swadlincote) are happy for me to supply the parts and just do the work. I started using them because I didn't have the tools for fitting headset races or chasing BB shells but Sean does such a good job I just gave him my last two track bikes to build up.
