Got a call off the missus, shes borrowed someone bike? Gone to the cafe, locked it to a signpost and cant find the key. I turn up, its only an eight foot pole with a small sign. Ooh, I can just pick the bike up over it. So with the cafe watching me, I pull the cable lock out to see if it would...

As an only child with quite the preference for soloing life, I completely read the room wrong for shared rides, its an issue of leading a life where you are the main character. The wifes running club outings are social events with a cycling problem, and breakdowns, minor crashes, wrong turns are...

Theres no safe place to park your bike, if you go the shops its going to get pinched and the police will just shrug and say its your fault for going the shops on it. All council cycle infrastructure is done through gritted teeth, they wouldnt build a single one if it wasnt funded by lobbying...

Pretty good, some of our routes are longer than the bike....but not this one.

Been looking for a simple non laptop back up for microSD cards while on holiday, Ive discovered you can get readers thst plug directly into Androids, not sure about Ipoons. Basically you can transfer to phone storage or the internal microSD and even use the phone to double backup in the cloud...

Im not sure of this, but the UK perception of the US is endless straight roads, is California more bendy than normal? In the UK you can be stuck behind a single bike for miles, we have strict no overtaking central lines along fast 60mph bended roads that swap over overtaking allowance as the...

Very important torque settings on a bike is the handlebar stem, do not overtighten, better it becomes slightly loose in use rather than an overstressed snap, which will ruin your day

Ive never torqued a thing in my life, Ive rebuilt high powered turbocharged four cylinder engines, 1000 cc motorbike complete engine stripdown. I just use a smidge of locktite and rough guess from years of experience. I also work for Boeing.

Storm Bert, Im waiting for Ernie next week.

I spent a good on and off half hour trying to use a zip tie to clear a blockage in between my brake pads while riding lsst week, the two of us were on to it, next step was pulling the caliper off. It was a dried leaf stuck to the fork rubbing on the tyre. When you look back its obvious.

Headline of the Daily fail today.

Nsfw Completely full of swearing, but sheer brilliance from Bill Burr

the context argument is often used, but there many words that require context in english thats its rather a moo point. thanks joey... apostrophes simply lay in the gramma snobbery armament for winning an argument based on the fact you didnt use one "correctly", and obviously didnt go the right...

wed get used it pretty quickly, but tbh gen lastweek are writing a new english for themselves which is a good thing. i do remember everyone losing their minds when trump used twitter to make government announcements, i said then everyone will be doing it soon. and they completely have.

Truly the fastest and easiest ebike conversion. The torque sensor is genius.

i think we should get rid of apostrophes and capital letters, every reason people give for having them is simply a redundant convention. there arent 26 letters, theres goddam 52. the apostrophe is written slang and you dont speak capital letters.

I have it on good authority that 1600 hours is 6pm until my brain does an auto notification that I might have to check that from previous experience.

I went to a funeral yesterday, an old friends mother. Got talking to his son, turns out hes quite a well known journalist in the European biking scene, he proceeded to get pretty drunk, it was his grandma who died and he was a bit emotional obviously. He then spent an hour filling me in with the...
