I would like to admit of my own free will that when I said "I wish they would make it compulsory"...that I was wrong! I made an off the cuff remarked based on no more data than me thinking, if I happen to fall off and bang my head, I'd rather be wearing a helmet than not wearing one. That was...

Wow.....well that escalated quickly!

I hear you Flecc, there are exceptions to every rule and I'm happy to hear that you have had 70 years of incident free driving and biking.....but .....I'm sure you can also agree that IF (and the whole argument hangs on this "if") you fall off your bike you are better to be wearing a helmet...

Okay, I hear all your points, and maybe the phrase "I wish" is a little strong! If I had a wish I certainly wouldn't waste it on legislating bicycle helmets. When I say I think of helmets like I think of seat belts I mean that although I wear a seat belt every time I get in my car I hope never...

I wear a helmet every time I get on my bike, I place doing this in the same category as wearing a seatbelt in a car. I'm glad they're bringing in legislation but my mind boggles at the amount of people I see commuting on bikes every day not wearing a helmet! Not to mention wearing all dark...

The counter argument to this has always been the Rolls Royce, the most silent car there is and yet nobody has ever claimed they should be louder.

And, I've been wearing these for the past two days: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Mens-Ladies-Dunlop-DEE-WIDE-CALF-Wellingtons-Wellies-Ankle-Rain-Mucker-Boots/112331749591?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412753695307&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 For less than a tenner these boots are great...

I also have these mudguards fitted now: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-26-CYCLE-MUDGUARDS-SET-FRONT-REAR-MOUNTAIN-BIKE-MTB-ROAD-BIKE-V-brake/151737557255?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 They were really cheap, only £7.28 and for that they are not bad at all. The front...

I left work at about 1pm yesterday as the local council said they were planning to close all three bridges. It was a little windy but nothing dangerous at that time. I cycled back in this morning through a decently heavy rain shower which was my first chance to properly test this...

I was considering putting the camera on but it has no waterproof case, it would get totally destroyed!

So.....Hurricane Ophelia.....that's what I'll be cycling home through later... ..I'm sure it'll be a breeze! ;)

Cheers Tony! :) Have you sen the weather that Ireland is getting today? Me and the Rio will be commuting home through the heart of Hurricane Ophelia later today! So that should be exciting! :)

Hi Tony, so a bag of M5 and M6 nuts arrived today, the M5 is too small and the M6 is too big! :( Did you have to push the M5 in a bit before it caught the threads? Its a weird kind of hole cause its threaded right from the opening but I can easily just push the M5 in about 4 or 5 mm before...

A girl in work said the same thing, the name she eventually settled on was "Super Spoke" :)

For anyone who's interested, I bought this pair of Muddy Fox waterproof trousers. They get a big thumbs up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Muddyfox-Mens-Waterproof-Trousers-Cycling-Bicycle-Bottoms-Pants-Clothing/391409486174?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=660619382853&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649...

Bought! Thanks Tony! :)

Good call AWOL, I asked the ebay seller directly and they said "only the bottom part of the boot is waterproof" so they are going back for a refund. Last night I bought these for a tenner...

I've worn the helmet twice now and luckily it doesn't touch my nose. Here I am decked out in my fully winter collection....much to my wife's amusement!

Thanks guys, like all of you there is a load of miscellaneous bolts lying ion the bottom of my toolbox and there all slightly too big or too small. I was hoping Woosh might know the exact size so I could purchase a bag of them off ebay! I'll try an M6 but if you happen to be near one of your...

I need help! What is the exact size of bolt i need for that hole?
