he was with a group too, who didn't do the same thing mind and seemed silent in the argument, one thing clubs like wheelers are good for is the road ethic they teach.

How do people feel about cyclists who undertake cyclists who decide to stop at a lights or indeed undertaking a cyclist at any time who isnt turning right.

Told to go take a valium for pointing out such conduct.

+1 on the dickishness. I usually point it out, It's broken window syndrome, if everyone lets it slide, civilisation will collapse (use of dramatic license invoked). I just find it rude, if they acknowledged me during the overtake and said sorry or, pardon me, I'd let it slide.

nah this guy was a piece of work, you could tell saying something would start an argument but I had to anyway, pity the people who ride with him who where just silent in all this

above all is how dangerous it is last place you expect something to come up on you. He also changed lane further on without a look back at car coming up

Anyway cyclists behavior towards others are for most part good compared to drivers, but people be d**ks sometimes so some cyclists will be just that. Trying not to react like one is the channel also.

Got my paying it forward by fixing a puncture for two very clueless cyclists as well

I need spare bolts for my bidon holder, for my forks and handlebars. Are these the same type of bolts?

Could someone link me some reasonably priced ones online?

Bidon bolts are usually size 5, and stem 4.

Not sure what you mean by bolts for forks!

For front-mounted panniers?

Used to have them, and they took the same Allen key as the bolts on the down tube and seat tube, IIRC.

This bike lane in Hungary reminds me of the one on the Leopardstown road!
I reckon they must have gotten Irish builders in to do this gem!

My old Edge 500's screen went iffy after a drop late last year, then I dropped it again yesterday morning and now it's totally gone. Stripped it down yesterday and discovered a 2mm piece of glass broke off the LCD screen, which apparently renders it gone. Though the unit itself is otherwise fine.

Anyone got a broken Edge 500 lying around that has the screen intact? Doesn't seem to be something you can find on ebay.

I find SJS good for small parts, though I'm guessing you'd get generic bolts cheaper elsewhere.

EBay UK. M5, M6 stainless steel bolts. A bag for a few quid. You'll never run out of them again.

Thanks guys. I meant bolts for my stem...:o

My Bidon bolts are 16mm long and seem 6mm diameter and the stem bolts are 19mm and 5mm diameter.

So I'll get a pack of M6 16mm long and M5 20mm long. Sound about right?

RobFowl

Get titanium ones, they look cool

I really hope that they will start taking the driving licences of the idiots that drive while on the phone. I mean 90% of the cars have now bluetooth, how difficult is it really to use it? A poor guy on a bike was almost run over by an idiot with an suv while he was talking on the phone. The guy was shaking for a solid 5mins after that, the driver wasn't even sorry. I reported it to the gardai and I really hope they follow up with him.

I'm still amazed at the number of people I see on the phone driving new cars, I would have thought it's harder not to get bluetooth these days, or do they just not know how to use it?
