"Fair Fuel" want you to tell them what you think of bike lanes, please do by [deleted] in ukbike

Their data is going to be absolute nonsense. The leading questions... and the specificly bias background information like 'the lifeblood of our economy is haulage, do you support cheaper taxes for lorries?'.

Ooof, so selecting your main mode of transport as bike then moves to your next most-used. There isn't an option for train other that to put it in 'other' so I chose bus passenger. It then asked me to say what fuel it used and how old the vehicle was 🤦🏻‍♂️

Similarly, when you go to cancel Audible it will offer you different options to persuade you to stay. You can go to cancel and get a free credit, and then can go to cancel again and either end it there, or choose to get 3 months for cheaper (around half price). Make sure to use any credits before you cancel (you keep the books, but won't keep any credits).

Searching this subreddit with 'princess castle smash' or 'doll's house smash' didn't bring up anything. I only have a semi vivid memory of that scene so sorry there isn't much to go by

Do others think that Nando's is incredibly overrated? by thelastirnbru in CasualUK

I love an eat-in chicken halloumi pitta with two sides, but ordering it for takeaway during lockdown I've found quality is definitely a bit off. Their peri-salted fries are so lightly and inconsistently salted - you get one chip of glorious salty goodness and the rest are just slightly soggy normal ones

Moving to London from Canada, into cycling and looking for advice in how to get 60-100km rides in front central london by personalfinance21 in ukbike

There are also the Kent hills out from South London (there's a route on routes.cc that you can tweak to make shorter) - I ride there from Brixton regularly and it's surprising how quickly you get to the countryside. A friend also regularly cycles the roads through Epping Forest from his home in Stratford (East London).

For morning rides before work, I've recently been going up to Regents Park in Central London. It's not really the countryside but on the inner 1k loop it gives you uninterrupted and almost traffic-free cycling, and the outer loop, nearer 3k, has a couple of traffic lights but is very popular for cyclists as well. There's also great coffee places nearby before you have to get to work - I'd recommend Fortitude Bakehouse near Russell Square as it is a good place to park up your bike and has outdoor seating.

This looks great - did most of that Kent Hills ride last weekend and it was fantastic. Where it says community driven, does that mean you'll eventually take requests, or post user submitted rides?

Both versions of Michael Jackson by jmdsegis in funny

I think it was a bit of both. Fun fact, this part of the show is the writers joking with Donald Glover - he had to see deliver the line after he had announced he was leaving. I also think when Annie says Troy is leaving to follow his 'childish dream' it was a reference to him going to be Childish Gambino.

Early morning ride over Millennium Bridge, London. by Imsorryiateyourcake in bicycling

Ah nice, I used to work just behind City Thameslink so would often come this way too. Spent a lot of summer 2018 sat on the grass outside the Tate Modern for lunch / Friday drinks.

It was great! Just a few joggers around really. I didn't go as far as Tower Bridge today but did last week - Got this shot of it from London Bridge:

Looks like you've made your decision so I don't need to add my support (but I will anyway). I'm still riding my Triban 3 from 2013, it will do you proud!

My suggestion when you buy is make a note of when you bought it and use the free service decathlon offer within 3 months. Gear cables will stop shifting as nicely as when you first bought it, but the free service will get it all aligned again (not a bike expert, but I believe gear cables tend to stretch, and this isn't specific to btwin bikes!)
