For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

So....
It's finally over (ish). Our assailant has pled guilty to all charges (Manslaughter by Diminished Responsibility + 5 counts of Attempted Murder) so there will be no trial. Just sentencing to come.
It's been a long 6 months.

Being on enforced social lockdown for 3 months has done wonders for my bank balance. Bike part shopping has just reduced that by a fair chunk 😂

Looking at buying expensive bike parts from Italy, as its £65 cheaper than from the UK.
Will tip me over the import duty point, so anyone had any problems buying overseas & dealing with HMRC?

Is there a market for 2nd-hand power meters?

Spent the morning fitting these beauties.
Rather pleased with these wheels so far.

New wheels being ordered this week. They come tubeless ready, is it worth the hassle going tubeless?

Right.. I'm looking at buying a set of carbon wheels (Cero RC-D 35) so I'll need to swap my discs over. Shimano centre-lock discs,what tools do I need?

I once knocked myself out with a chocolate orange..
What's the stupidest way you've hurt yourself?

Oh I'm so glad you asked! I knocked myself out with a frozen bag of omelettes.

Anyone have experience of PTSD?
After the incident last week I'm twitchy as hell, but I'm the sole carer for my currently injured & immobile partner.
Struggling a bit tbh & have to go back to work tomorrow.

So.. our attacker is in Court shortly.
Be interesting to see how he pleads.

Update: some of you may have heard about a major incident in Rochdale yesterday with a driver deliberately running down pedestrians. Unfortunately we were involved. I'm not hurt but my partner was. She will make a full recovery,but it's difficult right now.

Looking at new wheelsets, carbon or not carbon, that is the question.
Is it worth the extra? (Apart from the being factor)

Soo... this France team.
A team for the ages?
February 23, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Well.
Bugger me..

That's the game.

I think Wales might lose this.

Flights, hotel & tickets bought for Toulouse in April.
To see us get smashed by the best club side on the world 😂
