Re: NC500 record attempt
Surely you plan a two week window and look for favourable weather within that ?He might have known that the wind wasn't looking favourable a day or 2 before but by that time it's too late.

Re: What summer mat is flavour of the year?
I thought insulated mats were not like sleeping bags in that they were not really warming more they stopped you cooling v the earths mass - basically a high r value is not really warmer than a low one [ well a bit not noticeably like a winter sleeping bag would be in summer] - is this not correct ? ...

Are , by any miracle, any of them accessible on a road bike ?

Re: Get off the f#=÷*^ pavement
Looks to me like a pedestrian pushes/knocks a person into the road who ends up dead- which is also what the court case and appeal thought
there is definitely a very clear loser here and its the one no longer aliveAll very unfortunate and no winners.

Re: Dynamo charging data
If it was winter i would be able to help[ but its not on the bike at the minute] sinewave beacon Exposure Dynamo [ rebranded SP] Think mine did 10% per hour to the phone 3500mah battery iirc @ 12mph average - its a shared use path so large parts were quite slow due to walkers and their dogs.

Re: E-bikes - Bad for your health
Many of us will no doubt end up with them as we age- way better than not riding.
Round my way I increasingly see people half my age on them as humans ,even when exercising, are incredibly lazy.
At some point ebikes will be the norm.
