    Colnago in Leeds

    I'd gone into Leeds at dinner-time, been up Roundhay Road to purchase my case of SuperMalt, & a Goat Curry (to eat this evening) Then parked up on Mabgate, as it's cheap & only a couple of minutes walk from the city-centre. On my return to the car, I spotted this Colnago chained up at...

    Corneal injury

    I collected a branch in the eye at the 'Harriers verses Cyclists' race last November & got a nicely scratched cornea. It felt like I'd been punched, but was just a 'sporting incident' - 2 seconds earlier, or later, & I'd probably have been okay I had been hoping for a good run as well...

    Second hand family car choice - help please?

    Part 1; We had a C-Max (1.8 petrol) as our last family car (also known to me as 'the blue-van', & 'stinking heap of crap'!) From day one, I considered it appalling; 1. In anything less than brilliant sunshine/hot weather, it misted up chronically, unless air-con was on (I hate the bloody...

    Denture Brushes....

    I use old toothbrushes. for those minty fresh (cassette) teeth. I'm not sure what you use to clean/lubricate your chain, but I use 'red' diesel, & after a couple of weeks the toothbrushes fall apart. Something in the composition of the diesel seems to 'rot' them

    Orbit America

    I had an Orbit America, in the early 90's, bought it from the (in)famous 'Two Wheels Good' in Leeds (7-speed 105) It was finished in that flourescant yellow/pink, but I later had it resprayed 'petrol blue/pink' As I used to commute on it in summer, through the centre of Leeds @ 18:00, I...
