This is absolute insanity:

So that's 4200km in near enough 187 hours. Including stops it's 22km/h average!

Nothing to do with bikes but is anyone signed up for movember? Its probably the only time I have an excuse to grow a mo so here goes. Now what style should I go with

If there are others, maybe an end of movember ride will be in order

Local authorities to "Stamp out the cyclist problem".

There has to be a good reason for this incident. I'm sure we don't know the full story. Outrageous that solution of local authorities is to install 61 no cycling signs opposed to investing in cycle infrastructure.

Xmas present idea for the kids

i was down at the local book store the other day looking for some books for my nieces and nephew
and came across the following book, TooCool Rules - Sonic Mountain Bike. So for those that have young kids it might be a good stocking filler for Christmas.

Bicycle Sizing Tips " A must read"

Found this Bicycle Fitting website on a UK Bicycle Shop Site(http://www.twenty3c.co.uk/)

http://bikefitting.com/English/Frame.aspx note:I had to use Internet Explorer as Mozilla wasn't displaying correctly.

Anyone else had this type of fitting done? I think the Specialized version is called Silicion Fitting and slightly different to their BG Fitting Process.
