That's sounds pretty worrying, so what are you doing? Evacuating? Filling sandbags?

Forestry Commission Scotland claim the decision not to accept the Hub's bid was made by a panel of assessors and the decision will be explained. No doubt explained some time after the contracts been awarded and it's too late to do anything about it. Ridiculous.

I've had a couple of poor experiences buying. Thought I'd share what happened selling the wife's elderly MTB a year ago. It was a cheapo no-name brand with suspension. Since she'd bought a Specialized hybrid in the summer, the MTB had been living under a tarp in the garden. She wanted shot of...

Extra mount for a pump bracket/battery pack?

...and they're off again tomorrow!

@mikee, I know what you mean. Watching folk slide around on their low profile tyres* always bring a smile to my face. *Not that I'm knocking 'em, I've got a set on the Golf. Just know when to leave the car at home. :D :D

Agreed - common sense really. If it's someone you couldn't stand back in the day, it's likely they haven't got any better with age.

Cycled in to work this morning (hard work) on the Safety Bicycle, to find an empty office! Obviously not everyone has my steely work ethic. :)

Took the GT safety bicycle out yesterday for a spot of cross country, took the dog along too for the first time. Behaved suprisingly well, until he spotted a rhodesian ridgeback. :shock:

Have I stumbled on the "what dog" thread? In which case here is my bad tempered little mutt. :)

I'm well happy with it. Tar for all the feedback. Enjoying the ability to freewheel so far, need to throw it up some steeper gradients to test the gear ratio. Think my Decal nouse needs a bit of work, already looking a bit rough. Still need to dig through the pedal bin at the bike station...

Took the GT safety bicycle out for it's inaugural run. Just a short shakedown run from Brunstane to (and around) Newhailes. Look at that chainline! Straight as! :D

Today I'm mainly raging. :evil: Our offices are in a rickerty old Edinburgh council owned premises, we occupy three units in the building. The council have just announced that bikes are no longer allowed inside (I've been commuting AND chaining up my bike inside (plenty of space) for...

Yeah, I know what you mean. Whilst discussing this with my younger (full) brother, he suggested that on finding him, we should watch him for a bit before deciding whether or not to make contact. :)

Hah! No... Surname is 'Smith'. Which isn't terribly helpful!

...as we're talking about mysterious half-siblings, does anyone know how to go about tracking one down? I've recently found out i've an older half-brother but don't have a clue to how to find him. All I've got is a name, DOB and place (Town) born. :(

Home too late for a decent outside photo. Snapped a couple inside ('scuse phone camera quality): Single speed at the moment - replaced the cassette with a single cog/spacers/waste pipe combo. There was enough adjustment in the existing derailer to keep the chainline spot on. Stroll...

Very pretty single speed. Which, coincidentally is how the GT safety bicycle ended up! :) Finally finished cobbling it together last night. Hopefully get to take it out tomorrow night (Weather/Wife/Dog dependent...)

Another vote for the bronze effect. Me thinks you'll have to rethink the rest of the bikes' colour scheme. :D

I've got the urge to invest in a comb and a pot of brilcream.
