    sports direct

    Nah the stuff is just cheap junk. I have a pair of these I got about a month ago, side by side with my partners decent 6 month old pair from millets and you would pick my ones out as the old dead pair as the underside has flaked/peeled/ruined itself. Stormlite Remmy Mens Walking Shoes -...

    52T chainring. What does this mean?

    Faster but with less torque so harder to go up hills/stiffer to pedal. Is really all about ratios and finding the correct ones for you and where you cycle. Most people I know might have 21 or more gears but they tend to only use a couple of them, one for flat and one for hills. 52t paired with...

    Free AVG and online banking ?

    I found scriptsafe as a chrome version of noscript. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scriptsafe/oiigbmnaadbkfbmpbfijlflahbdbdgdf?hl=en Can't say how good it is as I don't use it but I would advise something to block scripts on sites as that is where most issues come from.

    Crackdown on drivers abusing Cyclists Advance Stop boxes

    That's funny, I noticed 2 police cars in boxes at different lights as I biked out to oxford street and back after work. Is very rare to stop at lights and not see a car in the boxes.

    cycle computer apps?

    I tend to lock my phone as I'm cycling so it just shows a black/blank screen and works in the background, lasts all day cycling and stuff with no issues.

    tfl wtf?

    Most cars speed up at amber lights but ignoring all those who are technically jumping the lights will talk about the others. If I am going along at my usual 10-15mph and "suddenly stop" as I see the lights go amber I could easily be hit inside the box by the car behind me doing 30mph that takes...

    puddles and potholes

    The few times I have had it mentioned too me by anyone in a car I just ask them to drive straight over the next pothole they get and take out a suspension spring and they usually calm down. Potholes are awful for anyone on london roads. Puddles, I have decent mudguards and don't depend on rim...

    Yet Another London Cyclist Death Today

    I'm not sure if it is the weather or what but I have noticed plenty more sirens on and witnessed a close shave today when a cyclist passed me as I stopped early of a junction and they went sailing on and almost got hit side on by an undercover cop car. I always have a look around to try and spot...

    cycle computer apps?

    At the moment yes, I'm still on the ropes about if I need the assistance but more if I do how much more I will leave my non cyclist partner behind when she does occasionally cycle.
