Tales from today's commute....

Thanks

What are those?

You put the appropriate threadlock on the screw thread and then tighten it up as normal. Leave it to cure for the recommended period and the screw should no longer come undone by vibration.
Just make sure you get the right threadlock for the application. Hence my link which explains the different types available. At a guess I would think the choice is between purple and blue and I would be inclined to the former.

Very nearly taken out by a Fiesta driver tonight, as he decided to cross the carriageway and ignore the cyclist. Managed to stop from 20mph to inches from his passenger door and of course he just drove off. Luckily the camera picked up his registration number, so I'm hoping GMP will take action.

A fairly stiff northerly breeze picked up during the day and I could have done with some arm warmers as it had got quite chilly by knocking off time this evening.

Lovely sunshine but a little bit of wind. I reinstalled aero bars on the bike last night with a view to bombing down the A38, and ended up with a new PR on part of it.

Would've been quicker but for a queue of pesky cars !

This morning I had a bit of a tailwind that had my heart singing and I felt like I was well on my way back to fitness and I think I smiled all the way. Best avg speed and power since my return to cycling in nearly 2 weeks. Got 2 over 55 age group KOM's, one by 6 seconds. I wasn't expecting fitness to return for several weeks after my 3 month absence so chuffed, the 1.5 stone will take longer to shift, at the moment it seems determined to stay. So much harder to lose weight when you are older I think. I suspect the cycle home into a expected 15mph headwind will be a bit tiresome.

Sometimes it just feels right to extend the commute. Glad i did:

Is this a better angle?

Also does anyone know what the motorbike at 16.57 is saying?


(I thought ussually when motorbikes put there left arm out straight means there turn signals aren't working are are telling there going to turn left). Or was it just his way to saw get on pavement (which is stupid as it's not allowed.??

if any of your guys ride moped/motorbikes you might know?

My "guess" would be that as you are in primary, he is suggesting you ride in the gutter.

If your guess is right. That’s a bit stupid. I would expect more from car drivers than motorbikes as don’t motorbikes have similar hazards to cyclists)

I think he was signalling to one of the cars at the junction to move over.

I guess no ones sure what he meant as everyone’s saying something different

After a very early 5am alarm call I was up and out of the house by 5.50 to catch the earlier train. Surprisingly I saw 2 cyclists on my way to the station, perhaps there is some type of early morning cycling club ?? No incidents riding to the station, I am always amazed how awake drivers seen to be. Had a great run through London - 4 green lights in a row so I was hoping for a red light so I could have a breather ... 7 minutes from St Pancras to St Paul's - happy with that.

Just looked it up, seems like a lot of bike for £350. How are you getting on with it? Is there any particular component that requires upgrading?

Who's wrong or is anyone in the wrong?
