Whilst out last week I saw one large red sign at the side of the road near Badsworth, with the wording "Cats eyes removed" I think it's a bit harsh, surely the RSPCA might have something to say about that, also driving out of Sherburn in Elmet the council have put a sign out with the message "Warning Potholes" well that'll help won't it, not.

Mine was so good. (I did go for that ride...glad i did)Just over 20 miles, but since the rear ends a bit sore...Suns been shining here all day, 13 or 14 degrees, 15 mph winds made it a bit slow on the outrun, but fast home (20 -25 mph for 6 miles ). Very very glad i went....now i feel guilty about feeling good How was yours....

I was having a rest whilst out on my recumbent trike, ( having a sit down on a pub bench), when a couple came by, she had a puncture, I offered to help, as I didn't think they knew what they were about, having walked half a mile with a flat tyre, normally that means a junked tube inner tube ,with it wrapped around the rim.He didn't have a spare tube😒, and asked could he fix it without taking wheel out, he could of course, but not likely.Anyway, turns out the the tube had Slime 'gunk' in...Read more

Hi, I was up on a ladder the other day cleaning out my gutter and I noticed various wasps going in under a tile near my chimney, obviously I have wasps nest. I've been looking since and can see them flying in and out. I'm happy to leave it until they die off in the autumn as its nowhere near me and others are not at risk of being stung etc. However I've seen conflicting information re them returning or not? and also that the chewing/nest building can damage the eaves etc? does it? I just...Read more

Up for sale is a saddle that came in a box of bits I bought. It looks like it’s not even been fitted on a bike. I’d like £10 plus £4 postage.
