This site has some haunting, scary and sad material when it comes to abandoned places.
Blobby Land in Cricket St Thomas is looking very sad!

Hi.
Are they coming with discs? If so, what size are the rotors?

Re: Weatherproof awning/canopy - ideas & suggestions!
What did used to be? Just a brick built general storage thing, or was it ever a garage? If it has only ever been a light general storage thing, then how about going nuclear on it, knock it down completely and build something smaller but more perfectly formed? It probably wouldn't cost that much, and...

Brand new Hunka XL
I have a brand new Hunka XL in the red colour, it is out of the packaging but has never been slept in.
Anyone fancy taking it off my hands for the bargain price of £60 posted to you?

Re: It'd carry a bike?
These guys were at The Outdoor Show a few weeks back. What struck me was the dry bag/raft combo. They were guaranteeing the bag to be 100% waterproof, and I was left thinking 'why not just use the bag?' It is waterproof, floats and they were pointing out the buoyancy would actually assist the rafts ...

Re: Cafe/shop locks for Bikepacking
On a motorbike i used a 'disc lock', so I use the same principle and just put a small padlock in the brake disc. Very cheap, very small and light and it stops the wheel instantly!
It won't stop someone walking off with it, but none of the cheap light options really will.

Took me back to my Sheffield student days. That 'caff in't parks' was always welcome - features in a Pulp song too. It's nice watching someone talented 'rail and jump' a #gravel bike, but an MTB must be more fun....? It's about the riding fixed scene in Bristol a few years back. Did I see a differe...

Re: So this is who lights fires ...
Ironically it is still available on Facebook if you search for Peregrine clothing! Well, perhaps someone else will ask them to take it down and explain that using it, isn't really a responsible thing to do ... especially by a company who appears to pride itself on doing the 'right' thing. It's on t...

Just to be clear before everyone celebrates the removal of the offending picture from the Peregrine website Yes, I said in the OP that I believed it was a shot intended for an on-line magazine but I was actually 'celebrating' the fact they'd removed their social media posts with it on. Maybe they'l...

Re: New Bike Day
Love it, what a great looking bike.
I have ridden bikes all my grown up life, various road bikes mostly. Just a few days ago I was looking at a second hand Africa Twin, now you have posted this.......
Really jealous!

A couple of final things from me .... Shaf told me that he wouldn't be offended if I wanted to remove the link to the video. The reasons I didn't were (a) Point 3 in the video for those who watched it and (b) I'm a great believer in the fact there is no one single 'truth'. You may wholeheartedly be...

Publicly calling out people like the the author of 'Bikepacking' is harder. I seem to remember the book was called out when it was originally published.
