Think of it as a natural power meter, that's what Chris Boardman would say "effort is related to amount of snot coming out of your nose"Is it just me who gets full of snot from cycling? How to get rid?
I always stick a pair of disposable contacts in when going out on a hefty bike ride, but put up with it if just a short trip to the shops etc. Can be awful if it's really leathering it down though e.g. rainy season BurmaWhat's the best way to keep rain off your glasses? Spray? A hat?
I had a cycling confidence class yesterday and it rained quite heavily part way through. We took shelter till it had largely stopped but not before I realised I couldn't see well enough.
I didn't really get on with my first lot of multifocal contact lenses, so forgot about that as an option. My glasses prescription has changed, so perhaps I should give a new contact prescription a try, too.I always stick a pair of disposable contacts in when going out on a hefty bike ride, but put up with it if just a short trip to the shops etc. Can be awful if it's really leathering it down though e.g. rainy season Burma

There pretty much isn’t one as far as I can tell. A cycling cap underneath your lid can help a bit but once it starts raining even remotely hard it won’t do much.What's the best way to keep rain off your glasses? Spray? A hat?

Yeah, I couldn't do that with my eyesight. I have to have glasses or contacts.There pretty much isn’t one as far as I can tell. A cycling cap underneath your lid can help a bit but once it starts raining even remotely hard it won’t do much.
I’m lucky in that my prescription is fairly light so I can get away with not wearing them if I have to.
It’s a problem I’ve never really satisfactorily solved as I don’t wear contact lenses, but the best option I found is to wear a peaked hat underneath your helmet, or wear a helmet with a peak.

They’re adjustable so tend to fit most bikes with standard wheel sizes (26” MTB & road). You might need to buy a skewer for your back wheel as I think there is some variation in fit there, someone on here will know more.
That sounds quite a lot of money for a non-smart trainer though, and they’re not that hard to pick up second hand, I paid £8 for one of mine from the Shelter shop at the end of my road, then got another for twenty something that came with two unused turbo tyres (I actually only wanted the tyres but this was cheaper than just buying those).
However, it certainly seemed reasonable to expect an increase from this year’s funding (~£300m) to something closer to the £400m needed to keep spending in line with that £2bn commitment, especially given the Government had set out a ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution just one week ago.
Instead, in a move completely at odds with both the Government’s prior commitments and the targets they have set themselves, the Chancellor today announced a 15% cut in funding for cycling and walking for 2021/22, with spending reduced to just £257m.

For those kind of saddle clamps you need a small adjustable spanner or a ring spanner of the right size, which will either be 13 or 14mm. You should probably have a little folding set of Allen keys/hex wrenches too, 4/5/6mm are the usual sizes you might need. And some plastic tyre levers and an inner tube of the right size for your bike. A mini pump. Guage not really important, just pump it as hard as you can manage and check the pressure at home or a bike shop with a track pump later on.Can anyone recommend me a cycle repair kit, please?
I was out for a ride on Christmas day and remembered I'd neglected to get one when, about 7 miles from home, the nuts that hold the saddle in place had loosened enough to continually tilt it up into places a saddle shouldn't be.
I managed (eventually) to borrow a wrench to tighten them, but I should probably carry something that can do the job.
I'm new to cycling and there are 5 million kits to choose from and I don't really know what I need. A mini-pump with a gauge? Without one? Patches? Allen keys? Definitely wrenches, for the sake of my foof.
What else do I need, and does it all come in one inexpensive kit?

I got some gloves about a month ago. My thumb poked through a new hole in the stitching yesterday.I got a bell and gloves for Christmas. But the bell is a bit too small for my bike and the gloves are a bit too big. Hopefully Halfords will let me exchange.
