    Drove a hybrid car today...

    All these figures look great. I'm currently getting 23mpg from my Civic Type R!

    That woman who boasted about hitting a cyclist has been done. Good!

    Mmmm, i can see which direction that comment is going in.... Why has the cyclist not been charged as they did not report the accident either??

    That woman who boasted about hitting a cyclist has been done. Good!

    Tough call this one. One the one hand it is good that a driver has been convicted in relation to a accident with a cyclist. On the other hand it appears that the conviction was really due to leaving the scene of an accident. In reality not many cyclist/ vehicle accidents result in a conviction...

    Would a pick-pocket bother to put BACK your wallet?

    I still don't understand why wallets are kept in jacket pockets. You will take off your jacket in numerous places and it sits on the edge of your personal space, an easy target when you are engrossed in something else. My wallet stays in my front pocket, if I'm sat down then only Houdini would...

    The Pro Cycling News Thread

    The team had submitted a revised whereabouts report to the UCI stating that Horner was staying at a different hotel, with his wife. The testing team, a local Spanish organisation, were not made aware of the change of location. Thus when they attended the team hotel and found Horner to not be...

    Wayne rooney and his headband

    Funny ain't it. We moan about players being lightweight, good for nothing, play acting, money grabbers. Then a player is not content to sit in the stand and collect his ££ due to an injury. Instead he takes to the field wearing an unfashionable, but functional bit of headwear, and we criticise...

    A sad farewell to summer and a welcome to the unpredictable autumn. BigYin - good work on getting out and doing those k's during the Vuelta 3 weeks. I would rather not have gone out though, i could not have left it 6 short!! September has been a ticking over/ rest month after the summer mile...

    Fantastic stage. The organisers were blessed by having such a close general classification.

    films/series that you don't understand

    Fight Club. Cracking film, but still don't fully get it.

    The Pro Cycling News Thread

    Do you think that maybe showing or letting your rivals see a potential weakness in your ability could be damaging? Top athletes need to try and beat their opponents as much in the mind as physically. Hell yeah, should be an interesting one this year. It is a wide open field really and plenty...

    I use the Edge 500 with cadence sensor. I used the HRM for about 6 months just to get to know my body and its limits. I am confident of my threshold levels now so don't wear the HRM. I know that when my heart is whacking the back of my teeth I am at the limit!! My main tool is the cadence...

    Local cycling time trial

    I really like that, I would love to see your revised version. I also think this would look great in a narrow format, a bit thinner than 16:9. I've been looking through your Flickr and you have some awesome shots of cycling. I see what you mean when you note getting a different shot. I'd love...

    It sounds like you have done your own logical diagnostics to isolate the source. Depending on the quality of your hub you may have determined the issue. I had a terrible creak that turned out to be the seat post, it had me going for about a month while I narrowed down the possible sources...

    Ok. Hopefully you have some Allen keys as they will be needed for this simple job. Loosen the two Allen bolts on the stem, next to the 'I' on your picture. This will should make the handle bars loose meaning you can turn them and the front wheel does not do alot. Then tighten the top cap...

    Who knows about bikes?

    I would suggest visiting your local bike shop (LBS) and seeing what they have pre owned. You will be surprised what you can pick up for £500. I would try and stay away from Sora shifters, they have an annoying thumb button changer that is difficult to use at times. Try and get the best frame...
