Thought I'd a ideal spot to watch the flying Scotsman on top of st Cuthberts court at the end of the redghough bridge but my mates gone on his holls

When we were kids, the parents used to get us to count all the motorbikes and all the push bikes that we saw. We would have a pencil and paper and do tally scoring. Left for motorbikes and right for pushbikes. This has left me with a natural inclination to notice motorbikes and real bikes when I'm driving. Maybe all parents should have the bike spotting game for their kids.
Obviously there are plenty of people out there who think that we are the cockroaches of the road and should be shot at birth but at least they will register our existence before the close pass.

What a great bit of parenting - a neat idea.

Me too

... and we've all seen the pictures that prove that beyond all reasonable doubt!

Not a cycling camp as the thought of my lot loose on the roads is just scary. We are camping at the end of May though.

Oh, the thought of toasted marshmallows just flitted through my mind.

In all my years of cycling I never bothered with full mudguards. I found there are lots of more easily fitted partial guards that do what I considered a reasonable job.

I'd QUOTE="Smithbat, post: 4272585, member: 42765"]I see what you mean, do you think it would be best for me to go to my LBS and ask them to do it for me? Him Indoors is not home for 2 weeks so I cant ask him.

I'd pop into hallfords and ask how much they would charge to fit them! But they are running free bicycle maintenance class for ladys this week so mabe you could go and they could help you fit them and pick a few tips free!

I have got in touch with my LBS where I bought the bike from. They will fit free for me so I am off up there Thursday after work to get some

I had a great LBS like this. Give them as much support as you can - many, mine included, disappeared because of the on-line firms.

Good afternoon all and sundry. Raining here but cooler which suits me. I think I have gone mad or I'm regressing or something. I've taken to wearing my hair in bunches. I'm sure it shouldn't be allowed at my age. The woman next door is weirder though - she has bright turquoise hair.
