    Angry pedestrian who scared cyclist riding

    I'm not remotely right wing and I support the reintroduction of the death penalty. As for the rest of it, I agree.

    1x7 drivetrain

    I used to commute on a 1 x 9 using a middle ring. Didn't need the low gears on tarmac, and the journey and weight of kit I had to shift were such that the high gears never got a look in, so it seemed daft to be lugging the weight and complication around for 18 miles every day. Never dropped the...

    The hierarchy is interesting seeing as peds kill more cyclists each year than the other way around.

    Look at the size of my Vegetables - the back garden, non allotment thread.

    Been there with it last year, albeit with about 1/6th the numbers. They'll stay indoors until the weather is truly conducive to them going out. And I am now at 44 shoots!

    Look at the size of my Vegetables - the back garden, non allotment thread.

    Now up to 36 babies to nurture and grow! I've been assiduously keeping the wood ash from the log fire to use as fertiliser/anti pest for when they are a bit older. Even if a quarter don't survive the transition to outdoors I'll still gave 27 plants.

    A shame darwinism didn't quite finish the job.

    Yes, but he was also indignant at my post. It seems stating a simple fact - it was suspected, was looked into and was unproven to an evidential standard - is enough to identify closet Mail readers!

    Er, it was a Rufftrax

    Clearly the seller is a descendant of Dr Frankenstein.

    Shimano replaces three low end groupsets with one new one..

    In the grand scheme of bike and component sales the amount people spend on upgrading from, say, 10 or 11 to 12 speed is miniscule compared to the amount spent simply buying new bikes with the 12 speed kit already installed. Sure, the likes of us might do it but overall we're a tiny minority...

    Don't buy electric cars

    Too late. We're on our second, awaiting delivery of our third! One oft overlooked issue with hydrogen is that a lot of it is an unwanted by product of processes such as fertiliser production and is currently simply harmlessly burned off. Jim Ratcliffe is looking at ways of making it...

    Anyone into making plastic models ? Recently completed this truck from the film ''Over The Top''

    Over The Top. Positively Shakespearean! Kenneth Brannagh would be proud to have directed that had fate played out differently.

    It's suspected she actually pushed or nudged the old lady on the bike, but that was just off camera so never conclusively proven.

    Are there any YouTubers here? (cycling channels)

    Subscribed. I would like you to say something like, "I recommend you buy this ex Savile Carlton because of the excellent provenance", or "WooTung bakelite grips are f***ing bloody brilliant, I s**t you not!"

    Car found in lake from 1976

    Blimey, what a tale. Guess we'll never know for sure what happened to him and that magnificent mullet.

    Going from car free to car lumbered.

    And here it is in all its glory, my wee estate... Eagle eyed will see my ham anetnna mag mount has already found its way on to the roof.
