Often true, but some B roads and many unclassified roads are also very busy (and some remote A roads are not).
I am planning a new route and am finding it difficult to completely avoid busy roads. Some roads which are minor-looking on an OS map...
They apologised and got the correct washers (shims) to me today.
1 mm thickness was not quite enough so I used 2 per chainring bolt. All fastened nice and snug now!
I sneaked out to the workshop for a couple of hours this morning, and an hour this evening, so I have some progress to report.
I started by gluing and screwing some softwood battens to the edges of the side panel:

In my teens I toured by bike most of the West Highlands and islands. Mostly on my own but sometimes with my pal Jum who had an ex police bike with double crossbars. We often bivvied but with no sleeping bags we kept a fire going for warmth. On my...

I’ve done very little cycling but I’ve just started regular run/walks with my dog. I plan on...
First three races have now been published. You can sign up for them by either using Zwift Companion if you are a member of the not-very-well-used CC Splitters Club (which anyone on here is welcome to join), or by clicking on the links below...
Well four people have picked numbers, so I've randomised a fifth and we now have some courses for the Tour de Splitters. However if any of these get voted down as ones people don't want, then we can always get someone else to pick an extra number...
