Re: Dangerous changes at Longbridge roundabout
Hi Dave. Having ridden across the new layout at Longbridge a handful of times now, I certainly find it to be a hazardous and unnerving experience. The first time I crossed it I hadn't realised it had been changed and got a bit of a surprise when the traffic coming from the left didn't stop moving! I...

Re: Tour of Flanders sportive
Hi Tim, I've done it twice and found it to be an excellent event both times. Its very popular with a great atmosphere, but this does make for very busy roads in places and can make it difficult picking your way up the narrow cobbled climbs. Last time I did it (2016) they were stopping riders at the ...

I'm not sure what to do. Being something of an hgv I'm going to have to get round at a steady pace, especially as I'm not carrying the best fitness at the moment. Whilst I'd like to ride with other beaconites I'm concerned that my broom wagon approach to climbing would ruin your ride given your abil...

George, allow me to join you in the freak's gallery. I just can't get on with sunglasses, mainly because I almost invariably end up being blinded by sweat. When not wearing sunglasses, rapid evaporation prevents it causing my any problems. With glasses however, there is a gradual build up of perspir...

Roller racing
I attended a W. Mids Police CC roller racing event last night at Tally Ho. It was good fun and an excellent evening, though having had 3 weeks off the bike my 'souplesse' was somewhat lacking. Paul Prince did a great job of facilitating the event with rollers, bikes, electronic equipment etc. The ev...

A brief word in defence of Trek - I had a Trek 1000 with a triple chainset as a do-it-all bike, and it served me brilliantly for years (was still going strong when it got nicked). It was only entry-level with Shimano Sora, but for the money I thought the bike, and especially the frame, were excellen...

When I first got my road bike a few years ago I was pretty clueless about anything other than the most basic maintenance. The thing that helped me most was probably my copy of Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance. A great book that enabled me to even go so far as to change a bottom bracket - qu...

Could it be one of those very thin rubber moulding spine things that protrude from the side of tyres? A while back I eradicated a noise nuisance when I discovered that some of these spines were tipping off the chain stay as the tyre rotated - such was the narrow clearance and the length of the spine...
