    Did I pass you today?

    I didn't get a good look. Usually the only details I pick out are on HGVs and buses or anyone/anything driving/riding dangerously.

    Lubricating chain and gear sprockets

    I tend to use dry lubes and things that leave a teflon coating as they help against rust a bit more(apparently) and can repel dirt which helps I guess. I generally go for whatever is cheapest or my local bike shop seem to be stocking/selling lots of as it will be more average stuff, you might...

    Did I pass you today?

    Passed a 2nd guy on an ebike today. This time at the lights coming out of croydon, he had his back light out and I let him know whoever that was about 6:30pm looked to be riding a silver bike with mid battery and hub motor(didn't see which wheel). Must be something in the air that brings...

    London protest

    If you don't care about other road users then yes but really no. I didn't go as I feel really extremist anti motorist types are hijacking stuff to push agendas they had prior to the deaths. Critical Mass I'm always on the ropes about for that same reason, sustrans people overall seem to be ok...

    Any opinions on this greatly appreciated please

    If you want an illegal bike that you won't need to pedal with why not just buy a used trials bike. Dozens on ebay and you still need to use a car to get it too and from the places you plan to ride it. 2007 Beta Rev 3 250cc Trials Bike | eBay

    Carry a passenger on my bike

    I'm not sure a folder is the best choice of bike for carrying more people. When you are on a bike a large amount of your weight is on the pedals, adding the full weight of a person onto the seatpost/seat isn't good. If the bike wasn't folding and was a hardtail you could have it supported like a...

    Storck Multiroad Raddar for Sale 3months old

    A little more searching would suggest no. The carbon ones seem to have white forks and a battery on a rear pannier while the aluminum ones have a bottle battery and black forks. Storck Multiroad Carbon 36v Electric Bicycles | Storck UK Very strange that someone would spend so much on a bike...

    Inner Tube problem

    Rim tapes go around the inside to protect from the spokes. Tyre liners go around the outside to protect from thorns and things.

    Charity begins at home

    I give food directly to the homeless when I can, anything from a bag of crisps I had in my bag to buying an extra mc ds for a guy hanging about outside for change. I know it seems cynical but if you give homeless people money often it will end up being converted into booze or worse. Give them...

    the bizzareness of plod

    That's shocking. I can see people hit with fines for things they haven't done when it gets to that time of the month. Apart from those of us riding with gprs tracking or helmet cams what defense will they have against "you jumped the lights, pay up I'm making my targets".

    Electric car charging point fiasco

    Often the council have got a couple of them cars with cctv cameras on the roof that park illegally and cause danger to other road users to catch motorists doing far less dangerous things like parking between 1 and 2 instead of 11 and 12.
