Advanced Stop Line (little green section at the front of some traffic lights for bikes only)

ASL = Advanced stop line, the bit at the traffic lights with a bike painted in it, often obscured by cars waiting at a red light.

Ah, thanks guys, thought it was something like that - just didn't know it had a fancy name.
Mind you,

GIANT FCR3

Hello. I've been mountain biking for years but now fancy a raod bike. Can someone tell me what will happen if i buy a Giant FCR 3 size XL. The size chart says you have to be over 6 foot 3. I'm only 6 foot 1"

There's normally a duck sitting in here to say hello, he seems to be AWOL so I'll say welcome on his behalf!!!

Don't get a bike that's the wrong size for you - it's important to get the right fit.
Best thing to do is get to your LBS and try some out.

Hello Shaun ... I have recently got myself a Willier Alu/Carbon bike with my beloved Campagnolo and am enjoying getting fit and getting some miles under the wheels.
I rode with the Camberley and Farnham CC yesterday for the 1st time yesterday and had a good if tiring time ... but hope to improve over the weeks/months
