Perhaps the pain of lycra ripping hair out of their legs is too distracting? Or the shame of having super smooth legs (which they suspect you suspect) weighs too heavily on their minds?

Cool! If I'm stopped I'll say "Well you let Stuart in!" So you have to push it while crouching around the shop? I could do the same with the Dahon, but there could be the option of using the full height of the seat tube, which in my case isn't tall enough because it's not the original Dahon...

Doesn't that stuff remove all hair from legs? I've never worn lycra, but synthetic thermal underwear does. Not a manly look on the beach for blokes, totally smooth hairless legs. They may be more aero.

If you survive, it's no fun being a 1 in 2 or 3 million. Not including the badger, I've been that 1 in 2 or 3 million at least three times. Car collisions by bicycle and other highly unlikley, unpleasant and sometimes life threatening occurrences. Random isn't evenly distributed. It could be...

Products which contain lithium ion batteries may be carried in as luggage, which theoretically are also fire hazards; laptops, mobile phones. shavers, electric toothbrushes... In future, I'll fold my bike into a bag before carting it in.

"The mask is ok," he said.

They allow you to wheel your folded Brompton in shops? Please do report on how it goes with Primark and Poundland. The Tesco security guard told me my bike was allowable because it was in a trolley, and not being wheeled around. My folding Dahon can roll on it's 20" wheels when folded, but it...

I'll try Aldi and ASDA next, with a bagged bike with pannier bags plus a rucksack.

My bike cost me about £1000 in all. Making shopping transport easier was one of the reasons why I bought a folding bike, and it felt great finally getting to carry it in as intended. I didn't have a bag with me, because I was cycling back from work and suddenly realised I needed to buy...

I had never carried my folding bike into Tescos before. Folded my bike into a trolley, wheeled it into the lift. As I exited the lift, a security guard nodded a greeting, I nodded back. After I walked my bike past he asked "Is it a bike?" He said the bike was ok but I had to remove my helmet...

:eek: Quite honestly, I think I have PBSD. And an almost supernatural ability to spot them in complete darkness. They can't all be cats, rats, dogs or foxes. One ran over the road about 20 feet in front of me the other night, almost gave me a heart attack... I was going downhill at over 31mph...

Alas! I have searched in vain! :D The structural integrity of cyclist perineums are compromised by bicycle seats after too much weight gain. The wideness of drivers is only limited by their ever widening vehicles, which don't stress perineums nearly as much, while keeping them toasty.

Cars are wider, taller and heavier than they used to be https://bovagrai.info/auto/2019/en/2-registrations/2-5-average-car-height-width-and-weight/

The fear is real, looking 9 minutes and 18 seconds into this video. Savannah cats chasing lasers worries me: big and very fast. Some years ago my neighbours had one. They had to keep it locked up to stop it killing everything.

Badger the size of a pig with "Six inch teeth" :eek: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/wildlife/11537864/Giant-badger-the-size-of-a-pig-terrorises-pensioner.html

E-scooter riders also have problems, I see them more often now on the roads at night. Some even have lights. These are frames from yesterday. I don't think rear view cameras on scooters can be installed, perhaps on the rear of a rider's helmet? He wasn't wearing one. His head is missing in the...

Badgers are worse. Trust me.

I thought about doing that, but there were only two vehicles behind me that time. If I had stopped in place, other cars might have paused waiting for me to move forward. I don't see why I should move my bike to let drivers past in that short of situation, where there they wouldn't have to wait...

A word with strong associations. I'll get a second camera. Call me two shooter Bronson.

So there I was at the lights, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I hear a lot of loud effing and blinding behind me. The pickup truck occupants shouted "MOVE ON YOU F*CKING C*NT!", as I was doing my best to get out of their way, and shouted "F*CKING C*NT!", as they zoomed past. This...
