I saw some Serfas Tyres that have some Punture proof feature, is this for
real ?

No, it's a coverup story employed by the
allied US and Australian governments to
make cyclists believe punctures exist, in
order to make them forget about
Area 57.5..

Hippy of course. She will be the one carrying a Mac. And on a bike.
Geez, And she will know of Hawthorn Velo.

I can see the headlines now..

"Crazed Australian arrested tackling cyclists"

"A dishevelled and apparently psychotic Australian man
has finally been arrested after a spate of incidents in
Central London. The victims report the man tackling
them from their bikes whilst screaming "Do you know
the Hawthorn Velodrome?!?! Do you know a dot b
Dave?!?!"."

Both times I took my TCR Both times it was no trouble. Both times I was
glad I did. ANd both times Sara gave me lots of grief. "Just buy one
over here ... etc"

They are NOT cheaper over there,.. Nothing is

That's what I figured! I don't see the point (other than
the obvious bike lust syndrome) to buying another bike
when I have a few perfectly acceptable ones here.

How did you go with locking it up? I've heard bike theft
is rife over in London. I've not had to deal with bike
security here, having left bikes in my office all the time.
I think I'm going to take the Pugeot over. I don't mind
commuting on it and I might be able to race it?

Quoted message said:

ANd she likea australians so much the headline is more likely to be

'Hippy" as he rode past her onn the Thames Bikepath. Ms Kirk claimed her
psycotic episode was triggered off when the man asked her the way to

Sara has had 5 nicked. (I think) Its aparently what insurance is for 🙁

Over a 15 year period, yes.

Quoted message said:

I checked and it looks like the house insurance would in fact cover
it.. yeah even in london. But I took both locks.. the cable and the
Kryptonite.. and I hardly ever left it out of my sight., And yeah I
copped flack for that too.

Ahem. Bike locked outside a small pub in a very nice, crime-free
suburban street. Dave runs outside every 10 mins to make sure it's
still there. Couldn't ride to the nice bit of Bushy Park because it
would mean leaving the bike parked, and that was not going to happen.

I have a small house that doesn't have a lot of extra room, on his
second trip I insisted that bikes are outdoor pets and Dave's bike had
to live in the garden with mine. Guess what? It didn't get nicked.

Not to mention you can't afford anything decent that hasnt been nicked.
Could possibly steal one of a theif I could 'almost 'square that with
my concience.

Yeah. I rode thru the Hampton Court flower show traffic on the bike on
the commute from Hampton to Kingston. I passed roughtly 1600 cars and
4 passed me. It depends where you are and where you are going just
like here but a lot of routes you would be mad to use a car. Apparently
tho many many people are mad.

Motorcycles or pushbike for commuting in london I think
Dont know anything about racing there
