A reminder not to ignore new / small sounds when cycling - and to regularly check all fittings.
On my Brompton heard a light metallic clink as I'm guessing the rear brake bolt and washers departed.
Now where can I find a Brompton fitting concave washer?

Really sad about the passing of Rich Blanchard. Great memories of gigging and travelling to gigs with Rich. Not only a brilliant drummer, boogie woogie pianist, teacher and music examiner but ace friend and bandleader. So long mate.

I really love free little websites with a single, useful tool - what are your favourites?
I use symbolsalad.com basically every week. It has a huge number of unicode symbols that you can copy, including Greek letters and absolutely loads of math symbols.
