Me and my lass were out riding side by side and some knob had a go at is telling us we should be riding behind one another. Obviously hasn’t read the Highway Code in a while which I enjoyed pointing him out to him

Wasn’t a Qashqai was it? Only time in my life I’ve called someone a f***ing wanker in front of their missus
Mine’s 3 year old now so might be different now but at the time the forks, brakes and saddle we’re all better on the boardman. Design looked a bit racier as well

For the cleats, I find the hard part is clucking the 2nd foot back in. Takes ages sometimes

A mix of the hot weather and lockdown easing has brought the dooleys out all over.

Really feel for all the new cyclists who are going to be faced with twats like these tbh, could really ruin their confidence as they’re starting out

i was hoping that broadening the cycling population might mean the driving population becomes more understanding...
Practice in the house. Start by leaning against a wall and pedaling backwards. Then go out and practice starting and stopping. I'd start with super slack and turn up the tension slightly on the pedal each time out.
not too far though, i was finding myself coming out of a clip on one foot under the slightest pressure
LBS at Dales Cycling Centre (without even looking at bike) - you loosened the spring off didn't you, its probably somewhere up the climb on Tan Hill

Of course. I don't want to f***ing die.
Trying to find jerseys that fit is a real pain. Im 93kg, fairly muscle/stocky, and for the first time in my life i wish i was as skinny as some of these cyclists who fly past me.
The extra weight on climbs is quite funny. Im crawling up n some skinny fuckers are having a convo up em.

I'm having the same issue. 6ft 2, 96kg. Ordered loads from decathlon, xl too baggy, l too snug.
I crashed into a car on a roundabout today. Pulled out in front of me. Managed to brake and turn side on so nothing major.
His argument was that it was my fault because I skidded into him

lucky escape... hope the car came off worse than you? very few drivers seem to accept they could possibly be at fault - f***ing shady twats...I crashed into a car on a roundabout today. Pulled out in front of me. Managed to brake and turn side on so nothing major.

Aye. He was left with a handle bar and me shaped dent.
Ridiculous really. If he’d just said he hadn’t seen me and apologised I’d not have been fucked off.
I do think though if I’d been on a road bike with V’s instead of a MTB with discs I’d have been up and over the car.

are disc brakes that much difference? i got run over in january, when i come to spend the insurance money im after a diverge which is pretty much my tricross but with discs - having never ridden with discs i've no idea what the difference is...

Never felt the need to own a cycling jersey myself. Slim fit t shirt does just fine.

I've been trying not to use mine but cars are the problem.
Pockets. Lots of pockets.
