Some research done and I think ZOOM is the goer. Ive just downloaded it to my phone from the AppStore and looks to be a doddle. Plus you can get up to 100 folks on there, which should just about do it. If I understand it, I can start a new meeting and share the meeting number ... or do I have to sen...

Looks like we have A Thing. Next step is to choose our "platform". Google Hangouts seems to work for My Very Active Girlfriend, but you can only have 10 on a video conference. If this takes off, that may not be quite enough. Or do we need video? Will just voice do? And I second Reg's suggestion that...

i've just floated this idea with the Chilterns Boners and we reckon it's a goer. As a collective, shall we all get together for a virtual BAM on Saturday 4 April, which is the "traditional" week for the Chilterns Spring Thing (which no one came to last year by the way, you fuckers ...) i'm no techie...

What hubs are you after?

Agree with Ben on this. As well as tallish I'm rather wide-ish and like my room, so a 3mx3m DD Hammocks Superlight Large has been my tarp de choice for the past 3-4 years. Cheap at £60 and light enough at 500g. It works in any sort of pitch and give loads of coverage, and it's been perfect for hammo...

Popped into the M&S at the bottom of the village on the way home about an hour ago, Shelves were pretty full though no loo roll or eggs and only fresh baked bread to be had :o. I came home with a couple of packets of fresh egg noodles, some lovely looking peeled king prawns, fresh snow peas, baby co...

Went for a nice 10 miles, two hour pootle with My Very Active Girlfriend and her 9-year-old this morning. Very little traffic on the road sections we covered, which was not much, but loads more people walking and running than usual, and everyone either solo or just two of them. So social distancing ...

Not for me but what are the hub specs? That'll help folks.

Just being honest I reckon. So much outdoor stuff over-promises and under delivers on its breathability.

Yes

You know why people are buying up the loo roll, don't you? It's because every time someone sneezes, 1000 people sh!t themselves.

I reckon you'll regret selling her, mate. From the look of it, you've got some memories between you. I bought mine ten years ago now, I think. Must have been 15-20 bikes through the stable since then and for a good while during my divorce proceedings it was the only thing with wheels in my house. I'...

Bump for the Sunday night crowd.

Used but very good condition and reasonably clean now I've washed the mud and sheep poop off them. Just surplus to requirements. Applying my usual approach to the sales pitch, I will say they're a bit of a pain to use unless you have them fully packed. Best for soft squishy things like sleeping bags...

My parents are in their 80s and both have some pretty serious health issues. They've pulled the plug on any sort of social interaction, are having their groceries delivered in bulk and have stocked up for three months Frankly, they're terrified and I don't blame them. We're all seemingly relaxed abo...

Not today, but on the weekend I put my OO Fatty back to rights with the 26x3s'that have languished in the shed for too long. Then me and the lady went and rode in a lot of mud and had a great time. I do love that bike.

{rabbit hole} I think a distinction perhaps needs to be made between bikepacking and what we might consider to be 'roadpacking'. Oh so this. Stu wins the internet today with "roadpacking". That's a new one on me and I rather like it. I remember when we used to call it "touring" and I used to do an ...

I wasn't keen at all, mostly because I struggle with the idea of making films while having adventures. Please, if that's your thaaang, don't get me wrong. I love watching your films - I do it an awful lot and it enriches my sad suburban life in ways you will never know - but I just don't understand ...

Have to say, chapeau Shaf for the most entertaining forum topic we've had for some time. * Tim, what manner of man are you that can summon fire without flint or tinder? No wonder you have all those stoves. Thank you Reg. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one. * With the exception of BDS' BA...

Put me down for you me stu once you’ve made them

Me too. I dont use gas much but when I do I usually moan about my crappy windshield

Happens all the time and is one of the fun things about toobless. If you unscrew the valve core while the tyre is fully inflated it will turn into a tiny missile and shoot across your kitchen, embedding itself somewhere you will never find it. Ever. So put a small clothe over it while you unscrew it...

FLV is an acronim of fetchez la vache, from a silly scene in a silly film from years ago. Cant recall why i used it, no link there at all. You're winning so far, IMHO. I've been TheBrownDog or TBD since just after the internet got invented. Back in Oz, the most common name for a domestic cat is "Ca...

I bought a Layzne Floor Drive five or six years ago for no other reason than I'm a pretentious knobber. The chuck fell to pieces after six months, the hose it came with was too short for my liking so I replaced it too. The gauge is on the floor and seems to attract grime sat still in the corner, not...

Thanks all. Do like the Strapdeck but I want something with a base on it to give a water bottle something to cling to, so I'll risk a poor customer experience to save a few quid and go the Planet X. Cheers Rich.

I'm looking for something like the Salsa Anything Cage HD but half the price, and these look ok. Wondering if anyone's had a go and has any thoughts?
