edit: ignore that

But yeah, I'll chip in,

Change in the OP graph over the last 2 weeks then:

a better looking subject.

Yeah I had a look through my "Photos of Boners" folder and it was pretty thin gruel tbh.

You and I excluded of course.

"Boners in front of famous landmarks" is a decent idea for a thread in these troubled times.

Microsoft Paint will cover that little task Taylor (Freeform selection and Transparent selection ticked to cut himself out of a pic then just drag it onto the Colloseum)

Paint.

Tried the old cut-up-coke-can shim trick Dave?

I'm not sure I follow. I worry about people spreading the virus around / putting unnecessary strain on already stretched health services. If you mean why I mention people feeling self entitled... it's because these are exactly the sort of people to say "screw you, you can't tell me what to do" and ...

Went loosely round the Rossendale Way today. Saw hardly anyone but DID meet a Boner.

Why would you worry about how someone feels?

That's a scattergun post Rich.

Who are you venting at here? Us, or all the selfish people taking exercise in London parks?

10.4 million people with gym memberships Richard. They all need to go somewhere to exercise now, and when you live in London your choices are pretty limited tbf.

The stated advice was "your standard length". The aim is to limit any potential spreading of the infection and minimise risk of injury to yourself. If you're used to going out for a 50km ride or a 15km run and are able to do that without coming into contact with people then I think that's OK. A spin...

Patio needs weeding, valves not correctly aligned with tyre logos, cranks not level and miss-matched tyres... 5/10

Harsh.

Whist we're all posting pics of our bikes :smile: Go on then: https://i.imgur.com/6C7Eycx.jpg I put a 2° angled headset on it since that picture for taking to Morzine so the front end is now super slack, which obvo doesn't help with the climbing bit. :roll: The only original part left on the bike i...

Intrresting ta No ones mentioning feelining sluggish to ride, so possibly me then Mine's an absolute lump to ride uphill. I despise climbing on it. :lol: It's leg-sapping to get it to accelerate too so yeah, sluggish would be one word to describe it.* Weight obviously makes a difference but it's ge...

... That's assuming we know 100% you can't get it twice/can't be infectious again..?? Still unknown at moment, AFAIK. Most flu viruses are like that but not all. Be a right stinker if it's not one the body maintains antibodies against. Your body retains the ability to produce antibodies against all...

Get a Manchester Terrier and plus its bed in the shed. A great ratter.

Most of the UK's fine tbf Duncan. It's easy to see images of a few idiots in the media and extrapolate them across an entire country but it wouldn't be accurate. I've been out at lunchtime today and done a full shop, got everything I wanted and everyone was a respectable distance apart. A week ago I...

Is it possible to reset the poll and edit the thread title to ask everyone to vote again? I'd be interested to see how/if attitudes have changed over the last week. https://i.imgur.com/ZgjXXTf.png Yeah that would be interesting. I haven't done an outside ride since the original poll but I don't see...

Unsure if that’s possible??

Think it's just a case of editing the OP.

You'd find it a lot easier with a decent Garmin Stu.

I'll have you know that I have a long suffering Dakota 20 with OS mapping.

Mine tell me my airtime for every ride

spoiler: it's always zero

I'm no tory but imo the government have done the right thing so far in sticking to the scientific advice.

If it transpires that they've ignored the Chief Medical Officer/Scientific Adviser/SAGE/PHE then they can all go up against the wall but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Maybe it's time to sack off the paper maps?

I'd be much more inclined to use the mtb. There were some people on gravel bikes last year, including Alex Watts who got a very fast time, but there are some long stretches where you'll be uncomfortable and cursing not having wider tyres/suspension/both.
