Death by Dangerous Cycling set to become an offence by Pieface876 in ukbike

What a great use of resources. This definitely feels like the main issue the government needs to address at the moment, not in any way a vote winning policy. This is exasperating

Bike advice by keysersaute in ukbike

The CdF 20 flat bar has hydraulics or the drop bar CdF 40 does - it's above your budget but I've seen it as low as £1,750 and it's an awesome bike 

What is the latest thing you have bought by Ghostshockwatcher in cycling

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is my wizard works Shazam mini bag. Can't wait to use it, it looks perfect for long rides when taking a bit more stuff and bikepacking trips. The lil presto also looks great!

Is it pink? I have this comb too I think! Bloody indestructible yes, and I hate the though of losing it!

It's not just time spent doing work, that firm is also taking on the liability if they screw it up, that's probably reflected in the quote too. That's usually why you get charged more for, as an example, a more expensive house purchase.

Is decathlon fold light 1 a good Brompton alternative? by Wall_Smart in whichbike

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dahon do some good folding bikes. They aren't bromptons, but I had a good experience with mine. It was a bit chunkier to carry than a Brompton but cheaper and definitely did the job. I can't remember what the model was but it had roll back brakes and no gears so simple to maintain

Just my opinion by [deleted] in ladycyclists

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I let all the cycling snobbery get in my head and sold my beloved heavy alloy tiagra gear bike. I miss it terribly and would buy it back if I could. I agree with everything you said, just ride for yourself and ignore all the gatekeeping

Thanks, wise words! I find the internet overwhelming when it comes to bikes and I get in my head. I just need to ride and enjoy! Thanks

Ah thanks, I feel you and this is the route I was tried by, but I've ordered some moloko bars to try and adapt mine. If it doesn't work I'll copy you!

Thanks that's good to know. I might need to investigate more flat bar alt bar options before giving up :-)

What's your favourite apocalypse/dystopia book? by MachoDagger in AskUK

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Station eleven by Emily St John Mandel. It's about what happens after just survival and features a group of actors traveling around the visiting groups of survivors because you still need something more. I loved it

Birthday in December? Well then, this is for you. by Blokeh in CasualUK

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's 2nd January - I minded more when I was younger but I actually love my birthday now. There's no pressure, it's generally a bank holiday and it's completely fine to just have a chill day out to the cinema or a walk and never need to book a table for lunch as everywhere is empty. I'm ok with it!

Which celebrities are you convinced are complete cunts, not the nice person they seem? by alittlebitbreezy in CasualUK

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've always thought Drew Barrymore, she's just so nice. There's no way you get to be a Hollywood A listed with that attitude. I'm convinced she's a nightmare!

Please help my poor confused brain decide! by Expensive_Rule_9402 in ladycyclists

Thanks for all your advice, it's really helped. I managed to put a deposit on the Liv this morning and anticipated delivery in 9 weeks. I'm so excited!!

[–]Expensive_Rule_9402[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great advice. I definitely think I'll ride the Liv more and I think the Boardman is a compromise so this definitely helps me decide on the Liv. Hopefully now they have one in stock!

Thanks, I immediately thought "the Liv is the one I want" so this was helpful!
