time

Give this a go in your web browser, it's great fun and can enliven a dull lunch break: http://driftin.io/ Agar is another good one, but has been a bit spoilt by the teamsters who gang up: http://agar.io/

yep , my first ever ride on a Roadie today , its. a BH full carbon , to be honest I got on with it very well ,usual campact chain rings , no problem with the Ultegra shifting , As the tyres being 23 mm and very hard i was quite confident after a few miles though I was concious about riding near...

A few of you might have caught Paddy O'Connell sitting in for Ken Bruce on R2 this week where he counted down the top 100 best selling artists of all time. Very enjoyable it was too, with some surprising placings. Here's the top 20, Beatles not unnaturally in the top spot, the rest can be seen...

Over a year since my last post, but still cycling and loving it. Lots changed in my little world. Spent the first half of 2016 applying for lots of different jobs, after 25years of supporting adults with learning disabilities the social care management finally cracked me and I had to go. My...

I know this is only boxing day but I weighed myself last Thursday when we arrived here in North Devon to spend Christmas with my stepdaughter. I just weighed myself again this morning and I have put on 5 lbs!! We are not going back home till tomorrow so will start restraining on my food intake...

Hi all, I've just had surgery on my Achilles, a debridement, has anyone else had the same & if so what was your recovery period & how long until you got back on the bike? I'm aware that it'll vary from person to person and that procedures to can vary so just after a rough idea, thanks in advance.

"It's the first ride I've been on where you get a menu as s well as a route card" This remark from Peter, A German riding the 1970's Viscount he had had since being a school kid, summed up to perfection La Savoureuse. http://lasavoureuse.be/en/ , "the tasty one" is a vintage ride that takes...

Sat at my desk looking out at the dreary autumnal weather, I wondered where we might all go if we were given paid time off work for a few months and all your bikes, gear and expenses were covered? I think I'd like to tour Thailand - it seems to have lots of natural beauty and areas where time...

Did anyone have these problems when teaching their children how to tell the time??

We had our club Christmas do tonight and i have been awarded life time membership for services rendered.Feeling good.:okay:

25-year-old rigid MTB on its original wheels (plain alloy, 26 x 1.75), unknown mileage but obviously getting old and knackered. With new hub bearings, the wheels are running freely and true (to within say 2mm) so they work fine as wheels. However, I am concerned about the braking surfaces of...

Let's have a bit more effort this year please folks. Here's ours, haven't lit him yet.

How long does it take you to recover after a tiring ride? The length of such a ride will be different for each of us, so ignore that. What I'm interested in is the after effects of a big ride for the individual. It's taken me a while to realise, but if I do a hard ride on Sunday, I'm not...

To get a haircut when your hirsuteness begins to poke through your lycra shorts. Good grief its like the 1970`s down there.

This was an ebay purchase that I never used, size m/l which suits 54-61cm. In excellent shape and condition. £30 posted anybody?

I've just done my first CPR for the first time for real on my neighbour he was sat down on his computer chair and fell off hitting his head on a cabinet his wife phoned 999 and I found out he was not breathing so turning him over I did CPR until the Ambulance people took over, I think it is...

What time does the mens Classic start today ? i cannot find it

Those of you who have been here a while may recall that 4 years ago Mrs Kes had a freak unclipping accident whilst riding the @Polocini "let them eat cake" sportive. She shattered her lower leg and has endured a long slow recovery (and still has a limited range of Movement). Today we returned...

So I’m mid-40s and quite frankly not at all inclined towards going to the little gym in the next town where I live as I have too many better things to do with my time and energy…but I am aware of the importance of strength and resistance training for my general well-being. With this in mind I...

CycleChat member @zigzag embarked on his 24 hour TT bike ride yesterday. He's too modest to brag about it so I will do the bragging for him. In 24 hours he managed an epic 772km/481mi (an average of 20mph). A hugely, mind blowing, impressive effort. The result puts him up there with some of the...

Hi, as above every time I go to log in it says my password is incorrect and I have to reset it. A bit of an annoying occurrence.

Once every year I strip the bike completely and give it a thorough clean and service. I clean and service it regularly throughout the year, but this once it gets a complete overhaul; regrease bottom bracket, headset, hubs, cable change etc. I have noticed that my chainrings seem to have worn...

In about 5 months time, I will be eligible to buy another bike through the cycle to work scheme. I purchased a mountain bike this time around (specialized myka), and am thinking that perhaps as I get more comfortable and confident over the course of next few months, I will move over to a road...

Another wet ride today and another dose of soggy pannier contents. My basic Edinburgh Bicycles panniers have done well in other respects, but they do let in water. So what to buy? I don't expect a diver's watch level of waterproofness, but I would like something that resists moderate rain. I...

Probably a silly question, but the gears on my commuter have begun to slip; usually when I'm taking off in one of the higher gears. Feels like the ratchet on the freewheel has worn and isn't gripping properly. general pedalling isn't a problem, only when I'm taking off from a stop. As my...

Hi I know, books are like music and your favorites are tomorrows hated Anyway Im commuting on train/bike between Manchester and Bradford, West Yorkshire via Hebden Bridge (some excellent opportunities for a commute home should the feel the arise :) ) So Im reading again, thought I'd ask a...
