Yeah but after researching, a lot of people on cycle forums have 'upgraded' from BB7 to TRPs.
Anyway, I've somehow snapped the cable while putting the bike together.
Off to a repair shop then...

The breaking strain of a bicycle cable is about 400kg so it must have been faulty.

So, I saw this bike at our bike cage at work this evening and I really really want it, except it had no 'make' on the frame. I can't remember what it said on the seat, in redI zoomed in on the photo but it's too blurry.s.
Looks like a charge spoon saddle, lots of people retrofit them

Arrgh...that's fucked me off.
Thing is, I bought it off the internet so can't be fucked to exchange it with the dealer.

Nice bike the Whyte, the steam is much taller than I'd have configured but its not made for racing I guess.

There is no love between us anymore.
Nice one mate, I will give that a spin. I have only one bike and it has to do training runs, touring and commuting. Adapting shoes is easier than adapting pedals.

Today's nuts idea:
Thames_deckway_by_River_Cycleway_Consortium_dezeen_ban
The idea for a £600m 12km floating cycle superhighway on the River Thames has been unveiled by a group of architects, artists and engineers.
The Thames Deckway would run alongside the south bank of the river from Battersea to Canary Wharf, parallel to part of the East-West Cycle Crossrail, whose designs were announced last month. One striking difference is the cost – £600m for 12km or seven miles, compared with £47m for the 18 mile Cycle Crossrail project.
Users would be charged £1.50 for a single journey on the floating track, which would be shared with pedestrians. It’s unclear whether there are cyclists within the River Cycleway Consortium Ltd, those behind the Deckway, but there are claims cycle journeys along its route could be 30 minutes quicker than the same journey on roads.
An unnamed spokesperson for the Consortium said: “London needs to think outside the box of conventional solutions to solve its deep-seated traffic and pollution problems.”

I'm sure someone has posted this, but I'm liking these stickers
I take it someone has stuck that over an existing "cyclists stay back"? Or are your buses really this awesome?

Depends what you class as serious.

No, definitely not.
Let me introduce you to the friendly and sometimes serious world of Audax cycling

Thanks for this.
I'm looking into it!

Yes. I race a bit but more often do mechanicing for the club at races.
The road bike's getting serviced at the moment, so I was out on my retro-ish mountain bike this morning. I'm a bit self-conscious of how I look in full lycra roadie regalia on a riverside path, but it's by far the most comfortable thing to wear on any kind of bike.

My dad's old cycling gloves from the 80s. Dri-fit compression top, Altura black jacket, padded leggings and a 15kg bag....
grim this morning too.

Sub-30 minute commute today (first since my operation) and my phone didn't save it properly (or rather I accidentally deleted it from Strava because my phone screen had zoomed out). 30:17 but I spent a good half-minute fiddling with my bike before setting off. Mainly due to good luck with traffic lights rather than any particular effort or help from the wind. The charity shop bib leggings might also have assisted!

Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
I went for a spin on a borrowed MTB just to get a few KMs in my legs. I got clipped on a roundabout by a woman in a 1 series convertible and a can-I-speak-to-the-manager-please haircut. I managed a controlled descent on to the verge. She wound down the window and told me to 'fuck off'.

'Wank break' probably. ISTR someone being caught or filmed doing that a few years ago.
