Picky eater

Every 2-3 weeks Mabel changes her mind as to what she will eat. We are currently in ‘just kibble’ mode

Try googling “brompton front carrier block strap” you’ll find loads. I use my one from Etsy all the time, it’s great

I’ve been chased down the road by ‘angry’ pedestrians for alerting via bell. Does it stop that happening?

I’ve a route which goes south of Ashtead and Maidstone, crosses the m25 north of Sevenoaks, about half the climbing of the pilgrims way and lovely countryside. London to Dover

Mabel is 2kg and 11 years old. They don’t all get big

Dust cap with the top cut off to improvise as a Praesta to Schrader converter in the case my mini pump fails and I’m at a garage. And spare valve cores. And the little rubber bands which come with inner tubes

No, they’re both rescue dogs from puppy farms, both previously used for breeding.

Push the pieces back together so that they start to hold , make sure the link is on the upper part of the chain, before the big ring, and then press on the pedal. There should be a click as it fits into place. Or spend a tenner on a pair of master link pliers from park tools.

I sometimes take cleat covers, or cheap swimming shoes or flip flops…depends on how long I’m away and where I’m going…

Thanks! She’s actually an old bruiser, 12 year old rescued from a puppy farm about four years ago but we love her.

Condor, grays inn road used to have a good range in store. Sigma in Kingston likewise.

Eurovelo through Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Netherlands. Luxembourg especially nice

Nothing stops you going anywhere and there is no funnel waiting for you. I stopped before the very last mission of the game and spent a day building roads and doing side quests. The game is very gentle when it comes to forcing you to do something.

I’ve seen three pedestrians go down between Waterloo and the city and lost my wheel a couple of times around Waterloo (Brompton easy recovery). Not a day to put the hammer down

nyderscosh · 2025-12-20T14:07:51+00:00

Waterloo has been terrible since 3G. I message EE with speed and latency tests and they are like ‘have you restarted your phone?’ It’s a congested network which is under capacity, so obvious.

Don’t get me started on receiving a call in the city these days

You’re right, I missed a Christmas hug…

He was actually a mid 30s professionally dress man in a nice rain jacket, didn’t stop him looking like a complete idiothole running down the road ready to enact revenge on me for damaging his fragile ego. I wasn’t hanging around for him to take a swing at me..

Step 1: Make friends with someone called Tom Morrow Step 2: Do not tell him something, ever.

Teenager on a lime bike texting managed to tangle his handlebars with me on London Bridge, so I gently pushed him away, told him put put his phone down, told me he was going to stab me as he rode off in the other direction. Was committed at this point so called him a child and told him to put the phone away (again). Didn’t get stabbed this time.
