Living in Somerset, love mountain bikes, dance music, but definitely no cider.

A win is a win, but it's tough to watch.

Over twice the level of defence spending.

Have you tried a factory reset.

Taken from the Sustrans website, and they show a picture of a barrier to accessibility.

Am I missing something here, do you have to open that gate to continue? If so surely that's detrimental to less able users.

A definite case of just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Cannot see any benefits or reasons for them.

What is amazing with this decision is that there is a direct rail link between Exmouth and Exeter which runs parallel to this road. There is a bus service which runs regular services 7 days a week, there is a purpose built cyclepath that runs into Exeter too. Yet this encourages car use.

Under current planning/conservation/building regs I cant fit a heat pump as I have nowhere that I can legally fit one.
So until rules change I'm pleased that this has happened. Agree something needs to happen wrt to new builds, but for replacements there needs to be a joined up solution.

Mmmm. Santa Cruz Skitch with flat bars, with curly bars it's a gravel bike. Does the flat bar option make it an hardtail MTB.

Much as I love a ride up the Quantocks, the cleanup afterwards is an utter ball ache

Out of curiosity, why does it matter to you why someone puts railings outside their house. Maybe it's to keep things in rather than keep things out.

Definitely related to the Outspan car

Do you have empirical proof that the helmet saved your life? Or are you assuming that the impacts without a helmet would have ended your life? If you have empirical proof please share the data, I would be interested to read how big a force your helmet saved you from?

That's not entirely true is it, walking is not a full body workout.

That looks familiar. 55 inch, full suss, wahoo kicker.

That's more like a small motorbike than a bicycle.

On a Bosch ebike, having lights connected to your battery reduces the range by 10%, even when you don't use the lights. it's all part of the software.

Sounds like they have decided that close passes shall be ignored. Unless you have a calibrated 1.5m stick attached perpendicular to the centre line of your bike.

Brave of you to use that thing to lock your bike too, 10 seconds with a battery grinder and it's gone.

Look in the mountain biking clothing ranges. Quite a few do them Endura is one example
