Whilst on the topic of Strava....... I noticed this morning that I'd had a load of Kudos for my commute home yesterday. Bit strange, I thought as its only a couple of miles and I was hardly riding fast..... Turns out I'd left it running in my pocket after I got home and went for a rather long...

The missus (cycling novice) took part in a 100K women's event the other day. The organisers were Breeze cycling- their remit is to get more women into cycling. Have to say it was a fantastically well organised event and would definitely recommend it to any ladies looking to start cycling. There...

That is stunning!

Thanks for the invite but have plans next weekend sadly. Also it is a little bit far West for me as my family are based in the Hastings/Battle area-would be staying with them if I came down.

You going for a full on roadie then?

To get away from people like you.... Joking aside, did you manage to spend your cycle to work voucher yet?

My brother lives near there, on George St. I lived in Battle for the first 18 years of my life but since moving to the Midlands have been able to ditch the gears!

Is that down near Rock-a-nore? Looks like fun!

Plus it looks like there is another bike wheel at the far left of the shot with equally horrific colouring.

I convinced him to go for a Fixie so he picked up this rather snazzy ride....

Not tried heating it, will give that a go tonight and also look into the Plusgas. Thanks for the suggestions. :thumbsup:

I've tried the WD40 option with no joy so far. May take it down to the LBS and see what they can do even if it means a new seatpost.

Any advice on freeing a stuck seatpost? Seems like it was installed without any grease and is now stuck solid.

To be honest I just wanted to upgrade to a newer more expensive bike without forking out (excuse the pun) upfront. You still have to pay a lump sum at the end of the hire agreement to keep the bike but friends at my work have said this was never asked for when theirs finished. Plus Halfords...

hahaha! No beard, no quiff, no checked shirt honest! I don't even own a messenger bag.... Usually just wear a t-shirt, shorts and a helmet. No hipster gear and equally no expensive 'proper' cycling gear. Edit: this is my old bike which I inadvertently did up in Albion colours. Not quite as...

Yeah its a bit flatter in Coventry than down there! Still a few decent climbs about though which I've managed to struggle up! I only really ride fixed/single speed for ease of maintenance and fitness, not any kind of fashion statement. (not cool enough for that)

Ah very nice indeed!

What do you ride? It doesn't look quite as gold in real life!

Got myself one of these through my work's Cycle scheme the other day. A bit hipster-ish but is a lovely ride. My old bike is now gathering dust in the shed...
