What's everyone buying on payday?

[Gravity Aided]

Seriously though, thanks for the idea. You can see how out of it I am in some ways technologically speaking...

Went to to a large chain store the other day which I won't name [Carphone Warehouse], where the way in which my questions were answered rapidly gave the impression that I am too stupid for a smart phone. I'm so glad the salesman gave me this impression, else I may have mistakenly given him money.

On a more cheerful note, do you have any recommendations for apps?

I like Strava, and AccuWeather . You probably have a different weather app in Britain .

Accuweather predicted snow for our honeymoon. We arrived to the biggest heatwave they'd had in a decade

Love your start screen for AccuWeather. That's probably the best reason to have it. I did not cycle to our local volunteer fire department breakfast in a rural town about 10 miles away one morning, I thought something was up with the weather. It was. F4 tornado about 30 miles away, and 3"hail here, accompanied by 60+ mph winds and rain like a car wash. In that case, my phone actually called me to tell me this was going to happen, but, like so many things car-oriented, only about 15 minutes before it happened. Towns distant enough here, that would not have been enough warning for a cyclist. Talk about crosswinds, a downburst snapped 10 power poles in two different locations about a mile from me Common sense app saved the day.

I also run Here for mapping and navigation, in the beta version. And NFL Mobile. Go Vikings!

Thanks to the forum I've already sorted a saddle and post late on in the month so think I'll be choosing between SPD pedals for the pug and a budget pair of shoes or a saddle and new X-tyres for the mtb.

potentially a complete 105 group set for my commuter (second hand)

Bora ultra 2's.......arrived Wednesday, tubs glued and now ready to roll!

Even though payday is next week, last night I bought
A pair of Schwalbe One Tyres
Fulcrum Racing 5's
Some Kool Stop brake pads (thanks to seeing them mentioned on here)
and a couple of Park Tool tools for changing the cassette over to my new wheels.
I just need to pay myself back in to my savings account on payday next week!!!

Perhaps some repair welding for a racing bicycle to be named later. New shifters for the Fuji Touring bike, and some front racks as well. All depends on the welding bill for filling a cracked dropout.

Do you race @MrPie ?

Asking obviously due to the "tubs".

I have been looking/drooling at Bora Ultra 50 clinchers & FFWD F6R FCC (full carbon clinchers).

Not bikey, but I just bought one of these. I first heard one about 4 years ago and was knocked out by the sound quality. The new job means I can finally afford it and I'm sure the years of waiting will make it sound even better.

Ahh, Bowers & Wilkins.... Lush

 

[NorvernRob]

Paid a load of money off my credit card, that's paid for this months stuff that I bought well before payday

Not seriously - some TT's and the odd crit....just don't have the engine if I'm honest. I got a juicy tax refund so bought a Colnago C60.....BU2 just seemed like the right thing to do

New shifters ordered, SunRace Thumb shifters. 15 simoleons.
