Has anyone noticed that the cost of petrol/diesel has going up and up weekly, 1p or 2 at a time. Last time it happened, there was a public outcry and very much in the news. This time? Nothing is being said in the media as if it was normal and accepted. Diesel in my area is now £1.319 a litre and...

www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/16214923.amp My 11yr old daughter goes to this school and I myself have seen these a$$holes doing suicidal speeds through the roads there. Nearly been hit a couple times myself because the drivers don't always obey the zebra crossing rules.

I saw the add, exchanged a couple of emails with the seller, wondered why no one had put a bit in, bid the reserve and collected this today. Lemond by BalkanExpress posted 1 May 2018 at 22:13 Lemond TSX team Z replica:becool: Bottom bracket and rear brake bridge show it is a Billato build...

When I was a small boy the Beatles sang about being 64. Well, that day has arrived.:wacko: Where did all those years go? Anyway. Mrs Domus has finally taken the hint and said "It's new bike time" So off to Ribble to order a road bike. The Ridley I hired in Mallorca was soooo much better to...

Currently running Schwalbe Durano S (Slick) on the front and Standard Durano on the back. Excellent tyres. They've lasted for ages, despite a few cuts, never had a p******e, but want to try something different...and cheaper. Also want to try 25mm as opposed to the Schwalbe 23mm. Would try...

My daughter has her GCSE's coming up. There's revision, homework (still!) and coursework to hand in. As parents, we are trying our best to suport her, comfort her, keep her calm - but it is not easy. Anyone else on CC feeling the pain?

Well, it is for me anyway, first time in the shorts this year and I look like a gorilla. So, the shaver will be working overtime later. But it got me to thinking...

Yesterday, I decided to switch my CX back from a flatbar setup to drop bar. On fitting the new brake cables, the right hand brake cable refused to locate through the mech and after many tries the swivel thing came loose and refused to go back inwithout falling apart I tried backfeeding the...

Ive had my purse stolen here in France ! I cant wait to ber out of here ! Anyone want to swop houses !:cursing:

After a few problems with my Garmin 800 in Spain, i got talking to one of the girls who was using a wahoo bolt. she had no problems navigating with it, So i bought myself one earlier this week, we had a nice break in the weather this morning, i uploaded a route through the phone, wahoo found it...

Lovely name, and a lovely bike! :wub: If only I had about 13,000 Euros to spend.

Noticed a rider in the Dubai Tour called Nathan Van Hooydonck. First reaction was, oooh, I remember watching his dad race! Obviously there have been the likes of Axel Merckx and Nico Roche as well, but it doesn't feel that long ago since Edwig Van Hooydonck was racing - he was going well into...

OLD FART THREAD WARNING In my head I'm a young, indestructible, buccaneer. Striding through life with an arrogant swagger. In reality, my kids ask me about the olden days when I was younger. My youngest son is worried that I'm going to be "going to heaven" soon! I've recently changed jobs, I...

Just watched episode 3 of 4 of this fascinating programme about 62 Falkner street in Liverpool. It's amazing how much can be found out by professional researchers from newspaper archives and birth, death & marriage records. We've watched the house go slowly from a smart Georgian townhouse in...

Proof at last that time travel is possible... http://boards.4chan.org/x/thread/20202127/proof-of-time-travel-twitter-users-spot-donald It looks as if the great man has been involved in many key historic events throughout the ages. And then there's the mobile phone time traveller...

Looking around the forum I notice there are still a few of the frivolous festive avatars hanging a round like a bad smell (Sprouts?). I'm looking at you @classic33 @vickster @Fnaar @potsy @Speicher @Rickshaw Phil @Beebo and I am sure there are more! Come on guys, it is finished so let it go....

You know the old North/South divide about is it lunch or dinner, being of northern origin I have always said dinner time is the mid day meal, other people refer to dinner as a night time meal. Well it seems the whole country refers to the Christmas mid day meal as Christmas dinner, I have not...

Go on you know you want too !

Heroes and Celebrations in our house. Too many dislikes in the others.

Got a chance of picking up a time trial bike size medium. (Planet x stealth). Anyway, very crudely I measured my bikes along the top tube and this tt bike too. Road bike 51cm, cx bike 50 cm, tt bike 47cm! Is this too small for me - other bikes but just right - and could any shortness of top...

Today was the first time in my life when I found the right retort and in French too so I am feeling quite chipper. This morning I was on Eurostar and an Anglo-French family were sitting in the surrounding seats. The older teenager (lad about 16) lowered the armrest. I asked him politely in...

After months of indecision and general dithering about I've finally ordered a new BMC ALR 01 with Shimano 105 groupset from Evans. I know it is a far better cycle than I am a cyclist as I'm quite a bit out of practice! It should be here next week and I'll let you know how I get on.

It's so easy in the summer - just put on shorts ands a jersey and off I go. Doesn't matter where or in which direction, I know it's gonna be warm. Now every day it just feels cold. What to wear? Short finger gloves, long finger? Long sleeve base layer or short sleeve with arm warmers? Tights or...

According to the new ad, people use the latest Hive thermostat so that they can "make time for the things that really matter". This is an interesting sales pitch. I wasn't aware that people are so busy that having to occasionally stand up and walk to the thermostat or heating on/off button was...

Following popular request, I found an actual kid to put on the bike this time. View: https://youtu.be/M2JAwGsBUY4
