London police tell motorists to drive straight at cyclists.
Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:27:10 -0700 (PDT)
On the last Critical Mass ride in London some police dressed in
overalls not only attacked riders but told motorists to drive straight
at the cyclists to "Make them get out of their way". Is this the sort
of behaviour we have come to accept from our police?

Paging the FOAK
Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:36:39 +0200
Those little spirally spring spacer thingies that do some voodo stuff
for QR skewers. What the fuck are they called before I break Google
completely with spazzed out search arguments?
And yes, I have mangled one, not the first either, so a packet of 1/2
dozen would keep me going into my dotage. ...

Replacing a cycle computer
Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:05:43 +0100
Evening all,
As i was riding home last night, my computer came adrift from its clip
socket thing and went on a trip of its own across the road. It was a
Cateye Enduro 8, which are supposed to be able to handle rough conditions,
but 'rough conditions' apparently doesn't involve being run over by a
motorbike, ...

?38,000,000,000 for cycling
Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:12:22 +0100
The cost of the Government's bail out of failed building societies
that thought they were banks is ¡ê38bn.
How would a ¡ê38bn investment in cycling in Britain change the choices
we make, and how could such an investment be made most effectively? ...

Crapman Is A MURDERER By Proxy
Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:37:43 -0700 (PDT)
If someone campaigns for policies which they know to be killing
people, and their campaigning contributes to the implementation of
that policy, then I don't think any sane person would disagree that
they are therefore a murderer by proxy. Saddam and Hitler may never
have murdered anyone directly, but they knowing ...

Upright Recumbent?
Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:08:48 +0100
I know it is a contradiction in terms but can anyone recommended a sort of
upright recumbent - the uprightest there is. I really want a recumbent but
the idea of being as low down as some specs suggest freaks me out!
I have been looking at the Cruzbike - are there any trikes suitable? I
don't mind looking a ...

Mixing the "wrong" headset/fork and stem
Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:52:47 +0100
Does anybody here have personal experience of using a quill stem with a
threadless steerer? I'm aware of a trick that Sheldon Brown used in
which the pressure on the top bearings is maintained by some kind of
pinch collar (seatpost clamp?), eliminating the cap at the top and the
spacers on the steerer. I'd ass ...
