Gross vehicle weight is 6730 lbs - over 3 tonnes!

You’ll be getting good value for money on your estate management fees from the replaced broken pavers.

Is that the one without a rear window?

Just ordered one to try! I love a cap and usually wear one under my helmet, but my fat head has always been an issue so great to have the options.

Lovely.

Which LB rims are they? Is there a weight limit on them?

Rather than design a better bike light, I'd say launch a campaign to raise awareness of dynamo lights. IMO most modern LED cycle lights are pretty ok, the main barrier and safety issue is that its hard to remember to charge and put lights on your bike in the first place.

Because of cultural issues, most UK cyclists aren't aware of the existence of dynamos. I'd just encourage more people to use dynamos in everyday cycling.

Absolutely love that this story has landed and been published by the Daily Telegraph first... of all places..

I’m not a lawyer or a politician but I’m pretty sure the purpose of the Act isn’t to shut down all online forums and communities in the UK, we’re talking literally hundreds of thousands of forums. Hell, my local church has an online community forum.

This seems rather hasty, perhaps see what the deal is when Ofcom release their online tool for checking compliance in January.

I help to run one of the larger London cycle clubs, we have to deal with risk assessments, safeguarding rules and insurance if something goes wrong, sure it’s admin stuff to do but it’s not impossible. Sounds like people are willing to chip in.

Nope. Page won’t load.

Everyone’s Tados working ok? I can’t get onto the app, it’s stuck on the startup screen, and weirdly their website doesn’t load? Internet fine for everything else.

Ok, just found out that the app works if you don’t connect to home WiFi, use 4g. Super weird.

BikeInn have started resending stuff to the UK. I bought a Secuzed from there a few weeks ago and it came easily without extra Brexit faff. Good prices, and actual availability of excellent dynamo stuff.

IMO fan heaters make the room feel stuffy, and noisy, an oil filled electric rad is the way to go.

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that public polling found that generally most people would be happy to pay a little more tax in return for better community stuff. I'll see if I can find it.

Yeah so all the narrative from the right wing media about tax is actually against public sentiment on the whole.

Does it have to be GRX? I have a Force 1 groupset if you’re interested.

Niwaki winter gloves are pretty peachy as well

We have a top line plus on our Urban Arrow, it works pretty well. The light is large and bright, and usually pulses brighter when you slow down. I figured it was only a few extra ££ for a bit more safety on the family vehicle. No regrets.

Champion cyclist pleads guilty over wife's car death

Weird title. Bloody cyclists eh?

With the ergonomics of a brick.

Don’t buy a cheap induction hob. Get one that has separate power controls for each hob.

Just so many red flags with this. Looking for 6 months, seriously for 2 is not that long for house hunting tbh. I know you feel under pressure to get in before the tax changes but it’s definitely not worth rushing the biggest financial decision of your life.

If you’re smashing through the gooch on several pairs of trousers per year when cycling then it’s probably time to admit defeat and wear Lycra shorts and change on site, change saddle or shorten your commute.

For Belgium, Dover - Dunkirk is best.

Wow, ouch. Must have been the ugly new trainers that did it.

Well, we’re getting about 50sqm mid range wool carpet with premio underlay (and stairs) fitted for £3.5k from Tapi in Nov 2024, so it sounds about right. Considering that I don’t move in circles where I, my wider family or contacts know, or care, how to fit carpets, it seems fine.

We're getting some mid range wool carpets from Tapi installed next week which are apparently moth proof, so it depends I think.

Either that or it'll be a Christmas feast for the little fuckers.

but I’m shocked at simple things like how badly overgrown pavements are as soon as you leave the town centre, how few bike railings there are, and generally why no roads have been pedestrianised in such a beautiful old town with tiny pavements.

I spoke to a councillor about this when I was in Lewes last, the town council is Green but the highways are managed centrally by East Sussex which is Tory dominated. So you have this messed up form of democracy where the town council cant change their own roads, they've tried to widen the pavements etc, but the East Sussex Tories love the through traffic and refuse any requests for change.
