It appears that motorists don't appreciate my Road Tax jersey or at least I had far more close passes today then any other day for a few months. I saw my first 'bent out in the wild. Obviously I've seen them before but this was the first time it belonged to someone I didn't know. Strange design too, very long wheelbase with what looked like a normal headtube over the front wheel, steered from underseat but the front wheel was a long way from the rider. More and more helmet wearers that...Read more

Morning Workers. Currently sat at work in the dry chilling with coffee in hand. Definitely not a bike to work day, tad breezy and very wet out there in the dark. Day of chilling out hopefully.

The film thread is getting all cluttered up with idiots like me rating serials, shows and documentaries.So, here is the all encompassing TV thread.Review and rate what you're watching or have recently watched, please hide spoilers behind tags!I'll kick off with:Making a Murderer - 6/10A solid but at times frustrating account of Steven Avery. It's a pretty damning critique of the American legal process, and the commitment of the filmmakers is impressive. But some parts are...Read more

Who's watching it? Is it too early to pick a winner? And the most important question, how long did Ali Carter spend in the spray tan booth?

Asking for a friend - genuinely!My friend and I have just come back from a week's touring in the Netherlands. He has a Trek Domane bike, one of these:https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/...omane-al-2-gen-4/41587/?colorCode=red_reddarkHe had a problem over the week with spokes breaking - it happened twice. We went to bike shops and had them fixed both times. He's a big fella - 6 foot 8 and a little bit heavier than he...Read more

At a bit of a loss still with my knee and i have read that changing my cleat position could help alleviate the symptoms but as they are mtb shoes the cleats have left the usual deep marks in the sole making it harder to adjust from scratch as the cleat wants to settle in the old grooves , has anyone any ideas ? i have even considered sanding the sole to remove the old marks .

Who has one? If you have a BKool TT then the group is Cyclechat BKool on the BKool website.

Looks like they are laying off a serious number of staff. Sad to see but the truth is that campag is just too expensive for 99% of cyclists and can no longer compete with the other big two unless they seriously change their product range and pricing structure.https://road.cc/content/blog/where-does-campagnolo-go-here-317059

With apologies but I couldn't find a similar thread, and I assume there's been something similar. Anyway, I got a lovely surprize from my daughter, she sent me a couple of photos. She got up at 4:00am today to see the sunrise in Canton, Massachusetts. This photo made me smile; it just exudes a warmth of light. I was very impressed, taken with a phone and with no filters.
