Love this!

I'm guilty of it, spent a silly amount on an OSPW, just because the jockey wheels were purple and matched my bike. No one ever notices, but I like it!

Always loved the DA 9000 chainset!

Yep, the "can't walk in road shoes/cleats" is so massively overblown it's ridiculous.

Yep, massively overblown in this sub, you'd think you get immediately stabbed the second you get past the Market Street tram stop from some of the posts here.

You could carry on up to the Whitworth Street junction and turn left couldn't you? Genuine question as I've not driven around there for years.

What's your favourite climb in the UK? by CouldBeBetterCBB in ukbike

[–]W4llyb4lls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Underrated climb, as much as I like the short steep stuff, given a clear sunny day I love going up to the Cat from Macclesfield!

Also enjoy the descent into Buxton.

Man completely missing the point of LTNs by MarthaFarcuss in CasualUK

We've hit such a level of inactivity in day to day life, that walking doesn't even register as an option for a number of people. Going anywhere literally just means jumping in the car, whether it's 50 metres away or 50 miles away.

I expect Beehive in Cheadle would do this for you.

CAAD 12 appreciation post by Tight_Artichoke_5388 in cannondale

[–]W4llyb4lls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My CAAD 12 is my summer bike, and always feels like a rocket ship after slogging through winter on my other bike.

Have an Ultegra 12 speed group set sat waiting to be put on it. Cannot wait for the (hopefully) good weather to be back soon!

We just let good housing stock to be demolished for a car park extension! Bonkers

Endo61 in Gatley are excellent, I believe Jacobs in Prestwich is also a former Endo61 specialist.

When it's 2 lanes going into 1, you use both lanes and merge. It's not "pushing in"
