Reading John Cooper Clarke's autobiography, I felt I had to listen to Beasley Street. As good today as it's always been

1) Foam grips for my Jones loop bars. I didn't realise what a difference they made until I rode another bike with normal lock on grips.

2) 2.8" G-One all round tyres on my Broken Road. Smooth and fast.

I take it you live in the countryside?
Maybe Donald Dumbasfuck lives in a city with no outdoor space. Maybe the virus has cost him his job, wife, house.....

Name me a city that has no outdoor space...

Manchester. Virtually nothing in the centre!

This is probably a daft question, but do you need to have Strava to get this veloviewer thing to work? Yeah, I don't know of you need to have the paid Strava or not. I have paid (or rather had paid, cancelled today) You don't need the paid version, but you do have to pay for veloviewer. However at ...

How do you post the infographic? I have taken a screenshot, but not sure what to do with it🙄 Needs to be somewhere publicly accessible like Flickr, Imgur, etc. then you need the actual link to the shot not the page it sits on. Copy that link then click on the chain icon above this text box and past...

I had 2.8" Rangers on my Broken Road. Not a bad tyre, but l found them a bit draggy on road, so I changed to Schwalbe G-One allround. I intended to change back to Rangers for winter, but I love the G-One so much I have left them on. If conditions are really bad, I take my fatbike with Bud and Lou ty...

SKS fatboard, use it on my fatbike and plus bike. Attaches to seatpost in seconds. Doesn't stop all the sub standard, but good enough.

Crank Bros multi tool for me. Not sure whether it's the 17 or 19, but I've had it years and it still works perfectly.

Well that's very nice of you Snow, thank you - I'll lob half the price over to you then we're both happy .,

There's no need. Just pass on the goodwill when you can.

£13's a little premium for one issue of a mag for this pensioner. Feel free to lob any old ones over if the alternative is lining the dog basket. Although obviously Stu's article alone will be worth the price of admission... I sent youngest to WHS in Brent X, but alas, they didn't have it. Therefor...

I use the free version and link to veloviewer, which costs £10 per year.

It's the veloviewer bit that I really like. Trying to expand my maximum square has made me explore so much more of my local area.

Some might have to do it again!

Fun bikes those, not seen one in a long time.

I had my old Spearfish as SS for a year, was surprisingly good!

I don't think I've ever seen one whilst out on the trails, and I've only seen one other example of my other ss, the Cannondale 1fg.

Give RGT a try. You need to have power meter (but your Wahoo will have). There are always three roads available free of charge I believe, including, Mt Ventoux, Cap de Formentor, the Peterbourg, Berrago Springs etc. For subscription (£7/month) you can organise meets etc, upload your own GPX and var...

Its had batteries inserted to demo in a shop but otherwise is as new in the box.

That's a bargain for someone. I have the same model and it's a great little gps.

Another question for the training app users. What computer/tablet/screen are you using? This seems to be a bit of a minefield!! I'm using my wife's iPad Mini! I can't use my iPad as it's too old and it can't run the current version of the software (TrainerRoad). Each app will have its minimum requi...

Veloheld Iron. A very nice looking German frame.

Purchased and looking forward to reading it! Thanks for the heads up.

Not drinking atm, but hopefully will be soon. Wifey has just found two jars of sloe gin that she made last autumn, one of which still has the berries in and smells divine.

Thanks all (or most of you :wink:) for the helpful comments and advice. I think I'm going to trial Zwift & Sufferfest and see how I get on. I've always shied away from using an indoor bike/trainer, but I have to face it, that come winter, getting out after work in London is not great and in my case,...

I've never used Zwift but I know I'm right when I say - it's sh!te.

Thanks. I can strike that one off my list then
