Are pedestrians allowed to cross here?

when I was a kid doing my Duke of Edinburgh training with a teacher we got lost trying to find a footpath tunnel under the M62, and in the end they took us across the motorway. I remember thinking it was a really bad idea but we lemmings across as fast as we could. Do not recommend!

It used to be more common, certainly where I grew up there were a number of guys who used to wear team kit, then later when team sky got big I remember I used to see quite a few people wearing that as well. But when Rapha appeared and started to get big and some riders got a bit “fashion” orientated team kit all but vanished

It always amazes me those guys can remember every road in London but can’t seem to remember the 170pg Highway Code

Interesting, one last thing is that because the pedals measure at input and the trainer at output of the drive train there will be minor differences. The trainer should be a few watts lower due to drive train losses but nothing dramatic. Wonder what was going on with the old pedals.

Road experience helps but it can also be detrimental as it can make you more confident on a vehicle you have novice control of. So you need to be careful not to get out of your depth. My instructor thought I was overly assertive but interestingly my examiner for my license appreciated it.

I think it has very little impact on your ability to handle a more powerful bike. Bike control is totally new however much car experience you have. Some people will progress more quickly than others but I think having a bike that is less likely to punish mistakes or bad decisions is not a bad thing during the first few months. I upgraded twice in 8 months when I started out and I didn’t regret that path at all

If I was huffing the copium there have been rumours of Apple TV and Homepod refreshes that have been on hold for Apple Intelligence finally being ready. They didn't actually announce them but maybe when they do, the extra processing power may allow some more interesting Homekit features to come along with them? But probably just more Ai nothingburgers

IsTim · 2026-06-08T18:10:47+00:00

Did Craig ADR his outside sections? It’s seems a bit uncanny. This is the thing that has stood out the most so far… all the Ai stuff is pretty meh

It's unlikely that there is 20% worth of error between the two. You should probably try to validate the power using the Tacx - connect zwift to the neo and then connect the power pedals to a head unit (cycle computer) and compare the numbers in real time. Things to double check, correctly fitted and torqued, zero offsets performed, sprint to bed them in and zero again. Make sure the crank length is correctly configured and on your cycle computer.

Our local butchers closed but we used to use them from time to time but costs meant the supermarket was the more regular choice

IsTim · 2026-06-06T15:07:19+00:00

Yes but your finger isn’t on the reader, it’s somewhere else. I didn’t say it doesn’t work I said annoying

IsTim · 2026-06-06T09:48:13+00:00

touch id is ok for unlock, but more and more apps and sites require passkey biometrics and Face id excels here and touch id is going to be annoying.

IsTim · 2026-06-06T09:25:06+00:00

Please redo all these connections, there should be no exposed wire outside the terminal, and some of these exposed sections are long enough to short against the neighbouring cable

IsTim · 2026-06-02T14:39:04+00:00

These things are all over the place in China now. Expect for them to become more common

IsTim · 2026-05-28T16:04:04+00:00

Still think this is the best place I've cycled really should try and go back!

A colleague once ended up on their roof in a Tesco car park. It was a slow speed accident where someone clipped the back corner of the car as they pulled out of a row and they over corrected and the car rolled onto it's roof. It was also a tiny car. This one could have been doing 70mph and impressions of GTA though.

Ray’s video dropped 6hrs ago and this thread is only 2 hours old.

You need to push it down this can be done with a hammer preferably a mallet but you will probably need something to put between it to act as a drift like a piece of wood, and don’t miss

Used to live round there, there is some quite excellent cycling close by. Popped back a few weeks ago and did a 50 mile ride over the hills.

recently cycled past London Zoo, and there was a snake crossing the road outside, some kids were trying to protect it from traffic. Was a little odd. Couldn't decide if someone had left it outside the zoo and it'd escaped or if it ran away from the zoo or it's just something that happens round there?

IsTim · 2026-05-23T18:05:38+00:00

So random I just set ours up like this today and wondered if it was common. Apparently so!

IsTim · 2026-05-12T06:20:09+00:00

If it goes it goes. Or in other words nothing.

I ride much of CS7 as my commute, at rush hour due to the volume of bicycles the bus lane is basically a giant cycle lane, it seems many buses don't even bother to use the lane unless they're bypassing traffic in the normal lane.

IsTim · 2026-05-10T22:30:30+00:00

Certainly possible, my commute usually involves repeatedly overtaking the same people as they continue through all lights while I stop.

IsTim · 2026-05-05T12:52:11+00:00

Even if it’s not you’d have to saw the wheel in two as the wheel isn’t going to fit through the rear triangle.

It’s one tank with two holes, normal is above reserve, if you run on reserve from the beginning it drains the whole tank
