As a Scot, I am appalled that our judiciary has seen fit to do this. I thought we were leading the way with modern thinking in many legal areas but this is unbelieveable. They should hang their hands in shame BBC News - Cyclist killer Gary McCourt: Crown loses appeal against 'lenient' sentence

Totally agree - the whole ad is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Highlights for me were the "stereo system suited to playing Russian Techno, Polish house, Bulgarian dubsteb, Romanian hard house, and turkish trance at full volume" and that they would be happy to airlift it to any...

Hello all - just catching up with the thread. A lot of goodies have been dug out of the grim recesses. In Glasgow the 'money-back bottle' was legal tender, or to give it its proper name, the Glass Cheque. My pals and I wouldn't have survived without them. Couple of folk have mentioned the...

Polis : "I don't care if you are delivering a pizza balanced on your head . . .you still can't park on the double yellows "

Well done on completing that run - it will have done you a world of good. As for the clowns that chip in with the "cheat" jibes - I always remember a while back when I was back on the normal bikes (long story but trying to keep fitness levels up) I clocked an older guy at the lights with a home...

I know we usually highlight tragic events when they relate to cyclists but this is unbelieveable. Not posting for any particular comment just that as it happened up my neck of the woods you might not be aware of it BBC News - Cyclist killer Gary McCourt sentence 'scandalous'

50 Hertz sums up my thoughts exactly - all I would add is that it is also beautifully dark and discreet . . . oohh err missus . . . you know what I mean - not too flashy with all that matt black. Excellent choice of bike , that man !

No further questions , your honour :)

I too cycle in rain, hail or shine and I must say that along with good jacket, wooly hat and gloves, my most important piece of clothing is my "snood". Weather goes a bit mild, then pull it down to become a neck warmer - instant fashion icon. Weather turns crappy - up it goes and I look...

This is a fine vehicle ! My first thought was that it was the bike equivalent of the Arkansas Chuggabug (those of you old enough to remember the Wacky Races cartoon) Also gives me the chance to wheel out the old Scottish joke - " Is that your Ayrshire bacon ? " " No, I'm just sitting too...

Benjy - well done on this job ! I too have a Giant Seek 0 and to be honest, I really doubted that you'd be able to do this conversion (like you, I struggled to even get a pannier that didn't slope !) - but you've carried it off with a lot of clever thinking and a bit of panache - it looks...

Up here in Scotland the old bat is loved and revered as you can imagine, although some subscribe to this - Commenting on the £3 million it is estimated it would cost to provide Mrs. Thatcher with a state funeral, Frankie Boyle remarked that for the same money you could buy every person in...

Sound answer with the added bonus of you now having more space at the lights as they move away ;)

Hello Rob Firstly , apologies for not seeing your review earlier - and what a good looking bike you've now got ! Excellent review from you and good that you point out the flaws / and fitting problems as I would eventually like to do something similar as the "new" Cytronex seems to be as...

I think the box may house carrier pigeons which you can use to get a message to your loved ones that you're stranded. Mind you, not often you get a Chippendale bike coming up for sale . . .:)

That surprises me that you don't like bling, flecc - I had visions of you cycling around the 'hood' and hanging wid your e-bike 'homies' . . . . It's obvious I don't have a clue what I'm talking about, isn't it ? :D

Nothing really new to add as all the previous posters have covered the pros & cons very well - I'll admit that I fall into the "lesser assistance required" bracket in that my 12 mile daily commute probably only has 4 miles (long slow hills + 1 big b@st@rd) that I would use assistance on. The...

Just to re-inforce the notion that the dog/bike in harmony thing tends not to work - I have a wonderful black labrador, the calmest gentlest beast on the planet and he and I used to go out together - me on the bike with him in one of these extending leads. He was as good as gold for a year...

I thought we had it tough in and around Glasgow, but I doff my hat to you lads in Bristol !! BBC News - Bristol bus driver Gavin Hill who drove into cyclist jailed Good to see that this clown of a driver was jailed but dear god, the lad on the bike was a lucky boy. Apologies if this has...

I like that . . . "starving horse" . . . I give you , the new Raleigh Starving Horse . . yep, that'll work. This marketing lark is easier than I thought. Regards Dances With Cleats
