Wanted - rear wheel

When in the house my bike is permanently attached to the turbo train which I use most mornings then carried out at the weekends. Problem is that it messes up the tyre so I want a different tyre when I take the bike out. Don't want the hassle of changing the tyre everytime, so...

Does anyone have a ...

Local Builder/Roofer

Sorry - I know it's not cycling related, but given so many locals on here thought it would be a good place to ask.........

Does anyone know of a decent local builder/roofer? Got some minor (we hope) roof repairs that need doing and it turns out that it is staggeringly difficult to get someone out ...

Easy as falling off a bike.

Clearly Rule No 1, and the one I intend to follow, is Don't Fall Off.

But if for some reason you've forgotten that rule, does anyone put any thought into how they would fall off a bike - or just wait and see which bit hurts first?

I came off at very low speed back in September and broke my wrist ...

Come & Try It Time Trial

Is this still planned for 15th May?

Unless I'm being really dim (entirely possible) I can only find a reference to last year's TT on the website.

I will definitely come along to marshall. I'll bring the wife along as well but assume we'll be marsalling the same point so I guess we only count as 1 of the 3 that you need!

I didn't get the number, but if I'd been concentrating it would't have happened. Would have been nice if they'd stopped to check if I was okay though.

Once the wrist is up to it I will give the turbo a try. In the meantime I'll have to try the recumbent bikes at the gym I think.

Only been out with the club once - a few weeks ago with Kevin, Dr Dave, Dr Dave Junior, and Ash. Got back from holiday on Friday so I thought I'd take it easy over the weekend and then concentrate on shedding a few pounds before giving the hillclimb a bash. Went out on Sunday morning with Jane (wife ...

Website mentions that Cycle Heaven gives members 10% discount on bikes and a couple of others giving discount on accessories with discounts on bikes negotiable at York Cycleworks.

The wife wants her first road bike so is it best to try Cycle Heaven first to take advantage of the discount, or are ...

That was me Dave! :roll:

Damn good effort from young Douglas I thought.

It was my first time out with the club - so hello everyone! Couple of other newbies out. Ashley and Ian who's just moved up from Gloucester. Ian - did you know what you were ...

Does Kevin's group go out *every* Saturday? I joined the club a couple of weeks ago and I'm thinking of going along this Saturday (8th August).

Bought my first road bike about three months so I think I'm ready for a group ride now.

Can I ask a really dumb question though? :roll:
If the ride ...
