time

Went out on a charity ride today, horrible in the rain, many people had punctures. I was lucky and when I got home found out my official time, and posted it on line for other cycle friends to see. A group of other cyclists were 30 minutes behind me because they kept stopping for rests and one...

How many people like Del Boy do you know? I know this guy who is constantly banging on about his latest business venture. He gets various family and friends excited about things and then a short while later (when things don't work) he buggers off on to the next venture: "I met this guy who's a...

Jasmijn Muller is scheduled to make an attempt on the 'Ladies' record for LEJOG in (early?) September. Start date to be selected with an eye to the weather (wind) forecast. Her "goal for 2017 is to set a new solo world record for Land’s End to John o’Groats (843 miles in less than 52 hours and...

OK so the darker nights/mornings are coming in September..for my commute I will be 99% of the time on a pitch black cycleway and towpath....whats the most suitable/brightest lights pref rechargeable, for this scenario? I want to buy a set if possible but that isnt a definite depending on price...

Medium frame, full carbon. Fits me at 5,10 with room for movement up or down. Bontrager carbon bars, adamo breakaway saddle Groupset: Brake levers Tektro Shifters, Dura Ace Rear and front mechs, Dura Ace Rear and front brakes, Dura Ace Cranks, Dura Ace Rings, 53-42 (I will be taking the 54 off...

sorry if this sounds a dumb question but could somebody explain what the time limit in the TDF means ? I know if has got something to do with finishing inside and outside a certain time limit to stay in the tour

Took me a little while, but today was my first ride out on the ICE Trice Q from my front door, the previous 3 excursions all involving putting it in the van and driving to Windsor Great Park. Felt surprisingly comfortable on the roads, admittedly it was reasonably early so not overly busy, but...

But.............after pulling the trigger on one of THESE today I suppose I have now :dance:

Hi, I've just put a shiny new chain and cassette on my bike but something is amiss. Although I can pedal the bike and change through the full range of gears, the chain pulls through the cassette and jockey wheels quite roughly and doesn't seem at all happy. I've put new chains on my bikes...

Just out of interest,have any of you used them and found them to be successful for you? I've put my details on line and have received a few interests. I don't know why,because when they asked me to name my most treasured possession i put down my palm tree(It's a date palm by...

What are my chances of not getting wet on the bike tomorrow?

It's Tuesday evening and I move back to my native land on Saturday. Time at work seems to go past quite quickly and the evening drag by. The next few days seem like they will take forever. Thankfully tomorrow I will be spending time with some former work colleagues so no doubt that will...

Apparently there's a plan to bring in a system whereby supermarkets can change the prices of products throughout the day according to demand - ie sandwiches get more expensive at lunchtime. Is this fair enough and about managing customer flows in the same way as train companies do or is it just...

When was the last time you had a bottle of wine with a cork stopper? Me? Unless it was a bottle of Home Made, I really can't remember :sad:

Can anyone tell me how I correct the time on an Edge 200. My 12 year old son is using my old 200 and I have the 520. The 200 time is a couple of minutes out and I can't find a way of resetting it on the Edge itself. Not a major problem but he wants it to say he rode with me on Strava etc. Do I...

You check them and they look like this....

OK, lets all be honest now. Time to come clean and own up!!! I have, just the one. Happened on the drive after a ride. Usual scenario, unclipped the left foot, bike leaned to the right. Like a falling Redwood!!!

Quite a simple question but more difficult to answer.My oldest will hopefully pass his test next week and I want to know if you know of any reasonable cost insurers.Thanks in advance for replies.

Not the classiest way to show your dislike of someone. http://urbanleak.com/woman-arrested-for-shitting-on-boss-desk-after-winning-the-lottery/

I've enjoyed my TRICE Q immensely over the years, and I still think it's the most sensible design, but as most of my cycling is within London, the Brompton is just a far more practical option. I'm thus selling both the trike and my existing Brompton to buy the ultimate Brompton – a...

My stepdaughter is desperate to make the step from rented to her own house for her and our grandaughter , she has been told by her mortgage advisor that she could have a £250k mortgage for a new build with the goverment right to buy scheme or £165K on second hand property. The sheer thought of...

When I met my wife, her daughter was 13 years old. She is now 45 today, which is older than I was when I met her mother! My own daughter was also 39 three days ago. Can someone slow down time please?

I am sort of between tasks at the moment on both the Faggin and the Coppi, so l thought that l would compare the measurements of the two bikes.....a bit nerdy l know. The two most dramatic differences as far as l can see are in the head tubes.The Faggin measures 13.5cm just the length of the...

I don't know, when you ride in the city you just have to accept the odd minor nick... But is it just my imagination, or is there a bit of a bulge? Yeah, I can't help thinking it might be time for a change...

So i have a Cannondale Synaspe Cardon Disc with ultegra Di2 2016 model. I've had the bike just about a year and really enjoying it and thinking what upgrades i could do this year. The obvious choice is the wheel-set as that is probably the cheapest components on the bike. Would you guys...

Well, it's been a trying day. Not long after my 'I have nothing to do today' post in Mundane News, I went to wash my car, I heard some commotion two doors down, my neighbour is lying on the ground his face purple, I try and spectacularly fail to save him, five paramedics and three fire and...

Club time trials are regulated by UCI aren't they?
