They better not ride through OUR village

 

[Globalti]

Why not?

They better not ride through OUR village

Do you live in Australia then?

Phew - it turns out that situation is in AUS. And Our Village isn't - good news

Saw a report on our local news last night about residents in Pill complaining about cyclists from Bristol and surrounding areas cycling through their village. They had also put signs up telling cyclists to keep out.

Stupid idiots. On one of my regular walks somebody has pinned up notices asking people not to touch gates and stiles. How long do they think a virus will live on warm dry wood in bright sunshine?

Just remind me, who owns Evans nowadays?

Tweeks Cycles are playing exactly the same game - I ordered something advertised as in stock on the 5th and never heard back from them. Tried emailing and calling on multiple occasions with no luck. I finally managed to get through to someone today, 17 days later, to be told that it was out of stock at their supplier with no ETA. Presume they would have let me wait indefinitely whilst holding on to my money Order cancelled Re-ordered from Sigma for the same price and they're getting it to me tomorrow

A buddy of mine has been watching CRC, they received a new delivery of Tacx Neo 2T turbos yesterday and since 7.00 today have sold 238 at £1200 each. Good going.

If I run out of toilet paper at least I have a few bicycles if needs must.

I have been stung like that by Tweeks before and am on my third week wait for some sealand and mineral oil. I hoped that in the last 5 years since I ordered from them last that they would have sorted it out.

Bang out of order how some sellers will take orders (and your money) without telling you upfront it has to be back ordered.
