Thanks GaRRy That is all useful stuff. Sealskin socks? Never heard of them, where can I get them (seriously?) And do you know anything about these gloves that are warm inside, or 'heat up' somehow? Or does anyone else? I'm sure I've heard market traders say they wear them. BTW Old Dave...

Down here in sunny Southend (this afternoon) it actually isn't half as bad as some of you bods have got it further north, but I'm still put off going out biking at the moment due to the cold. Nipped out yesterday wearing: 2 pairs socks, thermal walking socks over them, pair of tights, then...

Dave H is probably going to do a few little experiments......if he blows it up then the bits will be for auction. ...but I'm sure he won't! Hatti

I won't....... Hatti

Sigh...but of course. My guess is he'd stripped it down within 5 minutes of getting it....!! Hatti

Congrats RobF, Glad you are so pleased. Sounds like aa very nice piece of kit. Lets hope the weather gets better now so you can really enjoy riding. Hatti

Old Dave forgot to say that once you have memorised these instructions either eat the paper they're written on or burn it.... Hatti

Don't know whether Argos do bullion, Flecc - nor how much I could carry in one go (could put a few bars on the rear rack of my Sirocco I s'pose). I'll have a look. Actually I am astounded at how much bling there is around. Despite the recession being very evident in Southend High Street (like...

Apparently we should all be buying gold again.....well according to Today (Radio 4 this morning...) that is. So I'm just going to empty my piggy bank and trot down Southend High Street in search of some bling (won't be difficult.....) Hatti

Attention Jerrysimon! Our Cambridge branch now have the CD bikes on demo and in stock. They are open Mons to Fris 10 til 5, Sats only til 1. Go and have a try! Hatti

TCN, Hope you have received your pedals by now. I must say they would probably make cycling a bit easier...! Hope the weather improves soon - its pretty miserable here right now! Hatti

Yeah, Lynda's right, Kudosdave. None of that horsemeat stuff please - only Waitrose finest BBQ selection will do . I'll bring a coupla cans of coke. Hatti

Looks really good James, hope you really enjoy it. Yes, KudosDave is right - you should bring it to Redbridge so we can all gawp at it. Hatti

I bought my daughter a hi viz jacket for Christmas. She rides a Boris bike every morning in London and is not especially street wise. so I worry about her every morning and night..... I got this one on Ebay - it was a bright fluorescent pink, and I got it printed with 'Keep Clear of Kate' in...

and pass Prince William going the other way , he`ll probably think , `Oh only a KTM similar to my Ducati` . Now if he were to pass the black Woosh he would wonder about it and try to work out what it was, as it has no name or logo to tell you . I think he would be curious about this mysterious...

Must have been me TCN - I'm the only female here. Drives me nuts sometimes (workshop not tidy, bins not emptied, tea cups left unwashed, hoover - what's a hoover?)...but there you go. I think you'll love your Sport - its a light, easy to manoeuvre, stylish model for younger riders - but if you...

You are dead right Shroppielass. Lynda can knit up the PERFECT balaclavas for the complete mob....can't you Lynda? Can I have mine in pastel pink as the spring is nearly upon us (well I thought it was). Cold almost gone but rotten journey back to Southend, had to stop twice and does myself up...

Well I'm blowed. Did they ever get caught? A few years bank a motorbiker went into a small branch of Natwest here in Southend and asked the girl at the window to hand over her cash. She told him she would if he took his helmet off... so he did!!! Then realised what a plonker he was and legged...
