What is it, do I need it?

Errrrm yes I might need one to let me down in the future , it’s like the old socks for cleaning the windows ,I’m same as you , need to order the skip one day so my benny fisheries don’t have to pay fa one or three

 

Never know when you might need a 15m rescue winch! I’d keep it ‘just in case’.

 

I know, right!

Definitely going to put it on eBay, it’s lived in the pantry for two years bruising my ankle bone every time I go in!

Seemingly in front of shouty drivers most of the time.

Though I find a royal salute helps, especially as my middle finger seems to come up every time they press their horn

You’d get on with my daughter, she cycles the same!

 

It’s got to be done. I refuse to cycle in the gutter and apparently that annoys folk who think the cycle lane is between the kerb and the yellow line!
Coming back this afternoon a jag overtook me by inches... think I may need to add sticky out spikes to the bike

@Ermintrude keep the fuel pump and distributor as spares, they might come in handy one day, I keep my spares in the van in case I break down

 

Get some Boudicca spikes on the axles, that would stop ‘em!

 

Do you remember them plastic hands on an arm youused to be able to put on your bike

 

I think a bike helmet that looks like hair/no helmet would work wonders ... Apparently there are fewer car-on-bike injuries where helmets are not obligatory ... something about driver complacency? If you don't mind the extra layer of "get a f***ing helmet" abuse (what's one more rant between friends?) then you get helmety peace of mind plus the caution of a driver who doesn't want to be the one that killed you ....... ?

 

I got knocked off my bike when I was about 14 bludee Herman came out of side road straight into me , sent me down road on me hands and knees with me bol ocks left on the cross bar , shouted rude words but he was German , was a new sun snipe , he did help me up and took me home , my dad had a moan but he bought me new bike n gave me twenty quid . I was chuffed in more than one way . Walked sideways for a week or so his fault thou bludee Germans

 

Personally if it was all genuine VW I'd stash it if at all possible, tricky I know but once it's gone that's it .....just make sure you keep the relevant bits for your van(s)
Otherwise move it on.

 

ha! i want ones doing rude hand gestures!

 

i don't wear a helmet and have long hair. i think they do give you a wider berth most of the time. problem here is the single file traffic roads with cars parked at the side, drivers think we should cycle brushing wing mirrors

the jag overtook me at a traffic calming bit so gave themselves no choice but to brush by me. it's idiotic driving that's the problem. obvs i'm a driver but think i'm more aware because i cycle too. imho the ones who moan and shout about 'bloody cyclists' are the ones who'd benefit the most from some fresh air and exercise!

 

I want a spring loaded one fixed to the top of my coffin when they pull me out and a little man wit( binoculars sitting on top too surveying whose their

 

when they pull you out of where?? are you already planning your exhumation?

 

The hearse

 

surely a spring-loaded fake coffin lid would be better? or is that just my evil sense of humour?

 

I planned it a few years back , but modifications are on the drawing board
