Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but I just found myself trying to navigate St Georges Circus and Elephant & Castle in London for the first time today in a few months.. What the thundering f*ck?? Is it meant be safer for cyclists? I can't see anyone benefiting, even pedastrians looked suddenly at more risk..

TubeTech, based just outside Dartford - now defunct although they still sell bikes from an outfit called Ride DMC. I got their last can a couple of years back.

Greetings. You're just down the road from me - will you be on the A2 heading in to London every morning as well?

« on: 13 June 2015, 02:47:49 pm »
When I did BikeSafe a few years back Mr Policeman said filtering 'up to 40ish', meaning the traffic you were filtering through was doing no more than 40 - beyond that you were starting to take the piss a little, although he didn't come out with a definitive speed for 'taking the piss', I suspect, because there isn't one so it'll be down to the judgement of any copper who sees you.
On my commute home from Central London to North Kent I often see police bikes filtering at those sort of speeds - sometimes faster.

So what happened after that?   Did somebody stick one on the driver? I would have.

Ballcraine Corner to Kirk Michael, if you can get a clear run, is amazing.. I was there for the classic last year and, sadly, it had been speed restricted to 40 most of the way - a lot of the circuit has now unfortunately.

Jenny is a good club level rider but not quick enough for BSB,   


That's a bit harsh, she got within 107.5% of the fastest in practise so that seems quick enough in my eyes

http://www.tsl-timing.com/?loc=major&season=2014&series=BSB&event=races&source=ed_BSB&eventid=142404&table=142404fp3sbk&tabletype=gif

Some events she was closer to the fastest than that one.


She did the TT in a shade under 120, only 12mph slower than Anstey's all time record and I was there watching her do it - I reckon she'll do well in BSB and wish her all the best..

'They' do the same in the bike bay at work. Numpties!
Yes, we have the same problem at work.

Yup, same problem here - usually scooters though.

General / Liverpool Foccer 'salute'
« on: 21 August 2014, 09:00:20 am »
..to the man who gave me a foccer salute as I headed in to Liverpool yesterday late afternoon on my way to the Isle of Man - I did try and return it but I nearly ran in to the car in front of me.

Just didn't want you to think I was being rude..  :D

Eight Merlins indeed! I was in the garage fiddling with the bike when I heard them - we get lot of aircraft flying around as there are a fair few flying schools in the area but, as you can imagine, these sounded different... I stepped out just in time to watch them sweep by. Mouth open, speechless. I knew the Canadian one was in the UK I just didn't expect them to fly over my garden - and so low too! Incredible.
Imagine what 50 would have sounded like on their way to Germany? Probably right over my garden then as well?

I'm having the same issue - it's also struggling, only a little mind, through the lower revs. Bike hasn't been used for a few months.
