It was good to hear that the print run has taken place - good news for both you and your readers.
Looking forward to reading it, with a pint of beer at hand, and dreaming of my next (relatively pathetic) trip

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
Been off the bike since September 1st, due to a dodgy hip. Missed out on what seemed like a perfect September for riding, so pretty gutted. Have done a couple of 10km flat routes on Zwift, and building back up towards actual bike rides again. Been planning lots of future tile hunting, and just heard...

Every single one when you are as gravitationally challenged as myself :roll: ^^This Not being from 'Oop north' the ones that I aware of are... Succomb's Hill, just off the A22, in Surrey. Really sharp corner, immediately followed by the steepest section. It's tricky enough in a car. You'd have to p...

Re: Downtube Pole Bag
:-bd If its attached properly, it wont fall off. And... it didnt. It happily sat there, clean in its bag for about 170km of off road rattling bike dragging and river forging. Zero issues. The bag was filthy, so id probably hide it behind a crud catcher if i was to use it again, but oddly, my set up ...

Re: Excitement jitters!
I'm just eating breakfast (omelette, mushrooms and bagels 😋) before riding out on a big 2 day loop of the South Downs and North Downs and I'm actually shaking with excitement! It's making it hard to keep food on my fork 😂 Not jealous, at all - would rather be sat here with a painful hip, watching b...

Re: Back in the saddle: Britain's new love affair with cycling
We had fish and chips by the river in Shoreham, today, and the amount of people out on bikes was wonderful to see. All ages, sizes and niches (including a tricycle) were in evidence and, surprisingly, a large proportion of them seemed to using their bike as an alternative to the car - shopping, meet...

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
I set off on a 34 mile route, yesterday, which would have finished of my current western expansion plans, and take me from 25x25 to 29x29. Unfortunately a comedy fall into the nettles and thistles resulted in my saddle pointing the wrong way. However, instead of the usual "seatpost rotated in s...

Bought specifically to stock up on BBQ goodies and beer, a few miles before arriving at the campsite. Did the job admirably, and has also been used for picking up shopping on the way h...

Re: Free bike service
I'm with Dave, on this. Have only ever used my LBS to chase and face my BB, so not about to start now, just because it's 'free'. The morals of doing so would be the same as all those folks who get a 200mm travel downhill bike on the cycle to work scheme - it's disingenuous and dishonest. If you do n...

These have been mentioned, before, when discussing ways of upgrading drop bars bikes from cable pull brakes to hydraulics, without having to change the levers.
