Further and Faster / Re: New bike for Audax from Halfords.

« Last post by chrisbainbridge on Today at 08:20:31 am »

You ready own a bike suitable for audax.

I was going to say the same. You have a bike you ride every day. That is your audax bike. Just ride it a little further than usual on one of the days. How far do you ride it currently?

Bike clubs are changing. There are still some old fashioned clubs where you have to be a serious racer to join but most will have a slow group on club rides which will take the shorted route to the cafe so everyone gets there at the same time. They will generally be very welcoming.

The Pub / Re: eBay rant

« Last post by robgul on Today at 08:02:31 am »

Bit of a mystery with ebay . . . .

Usual browser is Firefox - searching etc works BUT trying to Buy, Watch or Add to basket doesn't work - nothing happens.

Second choice browser is Opera (use for YT to stop ads) - works fine with ebay to watch, buy etc.

Any ideas?  - Firefox ran an update yesterday to 125.0.2 (64-bit) - and it says uptodate.

The Pub / Re: A random thread for small things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

The Hare Krishna people came to Forest Hill yesterday.
That's a first IME.
They were distributing glossy leaflets.
And orange peace.
Two men and two women.
Dressed in their traditional robes.
With decoration down the centre of their foreheads and bridge of their noses.
Contrasting with her traditional robes, one of the women was wearing platform soled Doctor Marten boots.
I guess if they encountered any bovver, she would be the nominated individual to deal with it.

Morning. On an Audax you will see lots of different bikes from steel tourers to carbon 'race' bikes so there isn't one right answer.

Halfords will sell you a useable bike but it's worth looking at other options. Decathlon bikes are very good value and they have stores at Surrey Quays (which you could reach by train) or Lakeside (bus or drive).

I got my Audax bike second-hand on Gumtree (from a chap in Gravesend) and it works really well. I did upgrade the saddle and tyres from the original ones.

One of my favourite beers, especially the bottled version.
