Last night there was a Dog & Trumpet reunion night in Coventry :-bd All the original DJ's in the original venue playing all the Tunes from '85 - '97 so much dancing to Sisters of Mercy, Killing Joke, Ministry, PWEI, Nitzer Ebb, New Model Army etc .... Shame the beer was only bottled lager , 330...

I recently got into podcasts... Streets Ahead - featuring Ned Boulting, and can't vering all aspects of making our towns and cities more compatible with walking and cycling War on Cars - US based, but the hosts have a very good knowledge of the cities and transit systems under discussion Both have a...

Thankfully I'm not at all into podcasts. Usually just people talking innit? People with nothing to say talking between unnecessary royalty-free guitar riffs. </grump> Have you tried "Streets Ahead" with Ned Boulting, Laura Laker and Adam Tranter? No adverts and just the occasional bike bell

Postman didn't show up, so it was a good job I took a stroll into town, with the dog, and picked up a new pair of Shimano PD M520 pedals for my commuter bike. £30, rather than the £18 I paid last time (to be fair, that was a long time ago), but amortised over their lifetime, still a bargain. Before ...

Sounds like an Etrex22 or a Dakota are what you're looking for

Arrrggghhhh what a minefield! I’m used to the Oregon 450… it’s not bike specific but it suits me … cos whilst I am a knob, I’m not a complete knob needing to know my wattage, hill climb reps, and the gazillion other shizz things the Edge type ‘bike computer’ ones seem to baffle you with… I’m not in...

Ffs me and my big flappy mouth! Oregon has gone a bollock. Powers on then I get a line across the screen , and the screen fades to grey. It needs a new power button but it’s not that as I’ve removed the rubber button and can see the micros with it activates. I can activate the micro switch, which s...

I always found the righty tighty thing very ambiguous, for those who need help remembering - what exactly is going to the right? It usually refers to the thing you are trying to move, i.e. the nut. Where it doesn't apply is when there are bearings between the fixed and moving parts because if the m...

If you're in Edinburgh I discovered the Porty Community Energy Saddle Library today, which I'll be taking daughter number one along to when they open in January. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C97Lc0UI-h-/?igsh=MXVtcTJkN2dteG14MQ== Probably best to overlook this bit on their leaflet, but it made my...

I have Tailfin cargo cages - light, unobtrusive when no bags attached, solid, not cheap, but do the job.

Brilliant. He's obviously settled in, as he's commandeered the sofa, already. Our rehomed gundog came to us after 8 years of living in kennels and took about 21.5 seconds to claim our sofa. He's been here 4 years, now, but it feels like forever. They truly are the best friend you can have. May you h...

Apparently only 40 in the world and they have to go 100 miles between water fill up points. Reminded me of the bear in the BB badges :grin: How far between Spars? Not sure what it is in miles. But the Spar next to this one (which means it's about 7km closer) in Russia. Leads you to the very top of ...

How far between Spars?

In that case, I'm out(dry)

Thank you! I like the look of those! The issue I'm having is that the rear of my new helmet seems to have no flat surface whatsoever....so most lights just bounce and move around :( The ones that I mentioned stay put, if you use a short enough o-ring ( attached so that they straddle the bit of helm...

How was that trip? Did you do a write up?

No I didnt.

Not flappy at all.

Thanks, Rich

I thought that this might be aimed at those who don't have a local spar...

How flappy are they, round the ankles?

I have a couple of these - one on my seat post using the supplied rubber strap, and another on my helmet, attached via an o-ring after removing the rubber strap.

. Strava seems to want to own the “AI space” with its always-helpful AI insights that simply re-word my activity titles and tell me something vaguely positive but usually wrong. Like the one that I got telling me that a mediocre ride was my longest yet - just a few days after a weekend of much long...

Tailfin's new bar bag has dropped today. And I have already have it on order.

An Ortlieb quick rack For stealthy bike packing trips with ones group, I can manage with seatpack, framebag,, etc With another group, who like a bit more comfort, I feel the need to keep up, and need to take a chair, more food etc - so panniers are required. Ordered a spare set of mounting bosses, t...
