Hey I'm off cycling Hadrians Wall next week and I'm after two 28c tyres, and a pannier rack. Anyone have any for sale please PM me. I'm in Hackney. Ta!

My woollen gun socks are itching already and i'm just sat in my kitchen

The woman at Rokit in Camden told me Selfridges (not this place) was really good for gun stockings. I'm wearing some snowboard socks i've got.

I've just caught up with this.I'm so so sorry for Dan, his family and friends. Utterly horrible news.

RIP Dan

Thanks for update. Hope he is pulling through

Ta, but yes, thoughts with him, his wife and of course the cyclist at Dalston junction. Put alot of meaningless shit we argue about at work into perspective.

Mile End was a fatality. It was my workmate. Dark day

Spoke to a bystander and they said it was a cyclist. Turning lorry. Hope all are ok.

I've let mine down by about 10psi now its winter and there is more water and wet leaves about, and I'm cycling in the dark more so it's harder to spot cracks and potholes.

came out today I think

I actually think that's a really good article. Although there are the usual moron comments.

http://www.skibig3.com/banff-lake-louise/banff-lake-louise-shopping/banff-lake-louise-season-passes get it today though or it goes up by about £300. no pressure or anything..

Summer jobs are easier to get 'cause they view Winter as their off-season. Summer is much busier there apparently.

you sorted a work permit / work?

how much is it costing you to get out there?

BUNAC give you a work permit, if you are under thirty. But there is loads of under the counter work etc. It cost £850 for a lift pass (early bird ends today) for nearly 8 months boarding if you do the full season, and flight are about £450.

You thought about doing a long stay? no work, just boarding, but for three months or something

I'm off there 'cause its got cheaper than europe, what with the state of the Euro. But yeah, it is a long way away

Go to Banff. Eight month seasons with less Ruperts. although quite alot of Chad's Jay's etc

good call.

Right in terms of lists (we love lists):

· Data/Enforcement/Legal – location of collision spots, data collected at collision - collate and present to show trends and use as communication tool. Legal hurdles/solutions - enforcing new restrictions/requirements.

Helpful / not helpful?

Sorry I missed last night, 6 was too early for me. hope it went well. Do we just add our names to the group we want to be a part of?

INot sure what it is for a Snickers...

i'm surprised it took 21 posts for someone to make a joke over a Snickers.

I think it's kind of irrelevant if you find 80 miles a piece of piss. That's probably cause you cycle everyday and have a good level of fitness. Some runners find marathons a piece of piss I suppose, cause they run everyday etc. not sure though….

I was looking at Eddie izzard doing that marathon thing he did and wondered what the equivalent is for a bike

Both i guess, but I was really thinking of Road. I was guessing somewhere around 120 miles. Don't know why

Hey, does anyone know what the equivalent of a marathon is on a bike, distance wise?

I somewhat doubt that would make any difference as cyclists sometime unbeknowning to them of the danger, still undertake HGV/or have no idea about the amount of blind spot that HGV have.

OK cool, butif the locations in question are known accident 'blackspots' and lack of political will means that nothing is being done, surely that would help?

if anyone can give me a list of the locations of the fatalities I can check a few online databases as to whether TfL have any plans for the junctions if they were on red routes, or if the boroughs have any plans if they happened on borough roads. TfL are know for being really slow when it comes to delivering cycle schemes on red routes so pressure from that side might help...?

I've got a secret though. I don't have a singlespeed.

Yep I'd like to come. I work for a highways engineering company that runs the London Cycle Network+, so I've got access to stats, maps, funding, etc. If that would help?
