As above, anyone else get to see them, absolutely stunning here in god’s beloved West Riding of Yorkshire

Reported in various places. Here's a random link.https://news.sky.com/story/e-bike-seizures-surge-as-police-take-death-traps-off-the-streets-13220763I wonder why that is. Have police devoted more resources to it?They are so common it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. I can't see that the increase in seizures is likely to be related to an increase in numbers because they are almost ubiquitous. If the police had the time and inclination they could spend all day every day...Read more

It appears that motorists don't appreciate my Road Tax jersey or at least I had far more close passes today then any other day for a few months. I saw my first 'bent out in the wild. Obviously I've seen them before but this was the first time it belonged to someone I didn't know. Strange design too, very long wheelbase with what looked like a normal headtube over the front wheel, steered from underseat but the front wheel was a long way from the rider. More and more helmet wearers that...Read more

For those who have migrated from the Bkool platform to Zwift. Feel free to drop onto bkool chat just remind those what they might be missing out on . Only good mannered banter

I'm currently at some indeterminate point through an enormous mid-life crisis and as such have a new-found interest in dressing "well"; having been exclusively a "T-shirt and combats" kind of bloke for as long as I can remember.As such (and being one four-pack of Kronies deep currently) I'm intrigued to hear of what all you blokes like to wear - and of course what the ladies like to see us in I'm currently flying high having sourced a couple of pretty nice charity shop suits and...Read more

Ok,i'll start off. Can you put cheese in a casserole? I've made a casserole,or a stew whatever you want to call it. I have a few small blocks of cheese which need eating soon before they go off. I'm thinking about putting some cheese into the thing. As i post i don't expect many,if any replies at this time of night,but for future reference is it ok to do so? 🤔

Mod Note:Opening post slightly modified at the request of @ColinJ.Hope I did it correctly The object of this game is to identify where a photograph was taken. It should be taken on a public road which you have ridden in the UK, or somewhere very interesting that you would like to ride one day. (It's not that I don't like seeing photos from round the world but we really don't stand much chance of identifying (for example) a dirt road to a small temple in Vietnam!)It would...Read more

There are other threads on here where we can discuss our Zwift and Real Life Racing and give each other encouragement, p~ss taking, banter and knowledge sharing. I thought it might be good to have a thread where people can post up what workouts they are doing, how they got on and how they are progressing. It may even give a bit more accountability for the tough workouts.This opening post may ger edited as we go along if there are useful links or information.So post up the workouts you...Read more

E-bike crashes have become an almost every day occurrence here. Now a bill is being introduced to license e-bike riders.https://electrek.co/2025/10/24/new-...e-for-e-bikes-updates-drivers-licensing-test/

Salmon steaks with new potatoes, broccoli, peas and asparagus, a sprig of parsley and a squeeze of lemon. What did you get up to in the kitchen?

Plenty of cyclists out there who own a car made by the prancing moose. About time we had a thread of our own to discuss the trials and tribulations of Volvo ownership, and generally pat each other on the back for driving superior cars.So, who else drives a Volvo, and wotcher got?

Personally, Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go (Chems Remix) This is either going to fall completely flat or open up an eclectic world of tunage. So which tune are you bopping along to/chilling down on/rocking out with on your iPod, radio, hifi or generic MP3 player right now?

I’m staying at a friends holiday let on the 20th July. Deep into the TDF but a few stages left. Sadly the Alpe de Huez would be a 6.5 hour drive even in a camper would be a stretch. So what would be more realistic to drive to? The address is:CHEZ MOURGOUT16310 MOUZONCHARENTEFRANCEToodles.
