Well spotted Sherlock Phil!
We were not meant to talk about it until it was just gossip, but now it has all been confirmed.
Sad: probably I served her at some point - probably also I chatted away with him sometimes

I understand. It is shocking when it comes close like that.

Some time back, while I was still running the rickshaw I had a pleasant chat with a guy who was interested in the trike and asked my opinion of using a cycle trailer to carry his fishing gear. Within a week he was involved in an armed siege and shot a policeman before shooting himself. I'd never have guessed he'd do something like that!


Sorry to take the thread off topic like this.

Here
Mine were £51.00 delivered for the pair,...

Tyres arrived this morning!

That's quite impressive, ordered on 12th and delivered on 16th, all the way from Germany.

I might wait until it gets icy before fitting them, it's still very mild at the moment.

Mind you need to run them at low speed for 30 miles before you use them on ice.
Does nobody read instructions anymore?

Yes, yes, yes, I knew that, honest!

Anybody or nobody??

Anybody or nobody??

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Somebody should complain... Anybody could, given how important it is for Everybody to vote, but Nobody wanted to risk it.

That's really nice of you to invite me but a) I'm usually too busy at weekends, and b) I'm a bit of a solitary rider, I'm not keen on group rides. Thanks for asking though!

Hope we have some proper snow this year in London before Xmas

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

You should have ordered a bag of spare studs, I would have halved you it: looks like we gonna need them

I contacted Schwalbe UK and explained I had lost some studs whilst bedding in the tyres (15 studs between the 4 tyres across 2 bikes). I think the contact was Wednesday last week. A day later they emailed me and asked for my home address so they could send some out. Just received around 80 studs through the post today, for free and very quickly as well, I may add. Personally I would suggest you contact Schwalbe UK. http://www.schwalbe.co.uk/contact-us/ I used this contact page. Just tell them which tyres you have at the same time and how many you have lost to date.. roughly!

Cheers @SatNav, will do!

I suspect we won't be needing the snow tyres this winter. Who has bought a canoe ?

By no coincidence, my BCU star qualification certificate arrived in the post on Saturday morning. We haven't yet bought a kayak but my local hire centre is about 0.5km 0.27NM from home and they have our names down against a Hoss and an Expression 15.
