Suggestions of a good bike pump.

Agree with sit ubu sit... C02 + pump... this is the way to go for sure, especially on longer rides. i carry a beto alloy mini-pump on my bike, and in my (small) saddle bag, for longer rides at weeken…

Only One More Sleep to Go

Agree completely, it was a great day and a great ride. I had planned to complete the 100km but got mis-directed by the cops at the half-way mark :( they sent me and about 5 other blokes on a 5-6km de…

But there is the dude (or bike 'hoon') at roughly 1'03" who goes up on the pavement to cut in front of the good cycling boys & girls... seriously though, that looks like the place bikes & cyclists go after life... how awesome.

Al replied to Steve H's discussion 'Muscle Fatigue & Recovery'
Yep, the stretching will help... I don't do enough but tend to feel all the better when taking the time to stretch properly. You mentioned eating heaps of carbs - which is great pre-ride and in general / balanced in your diet - but ensure you're get…

Just bought my wife a new flat bar roadie for her birthday ( as a top-up for the day spa session :) ) ... she now cycles the few km's to work rather than using the 4-wheeler. Even got her cycling to yoga... double the work-out!!

Al replied to Michael O''s discussion 'Wade Wallace - Cyclists should pay rego'
Absolutely spot on. Even some of the more negative comments from drivers in response to the article aren't half as bad as you'd normally get. In the last 2-3mths there's been more prime media coverage of cycling than I can remember... more articles…

I get a similar message from my Trend Micro security product - warns the site is infected with malware, as I'd been to the site before with no issues being flagged I just went in anyway and have had no virus or malware issues at all.

Al replied to Mike Stuart's discussion 'Two punctures in the last three commutes : Is my inner tube the wrong size?'
Good call Dan. Mike - if you really want to stick with the existing tyres for as long as possible or until you get a new bike, I suggest some tyre liners (sometimes referred to as inner-tape), Cell bikes sell two brands of liner online pretty cheap…

Oh, and of course, the cop car parked in St James Rd seeing & hearing it all... any reaction from them???? Mmmm....

Al replied to Andrew's discussion 'Questions by Clover to the RTA'
Even worse, cops watching whilst OzEco tours bus skim past a cyclist & beeping at said cyclist for no reason. 6.45am last Sunday 11 April, I'm cycling out to Watson's Bay via CBD to do my usual Watson's Bay-Bellevue Hill-Cent Park-back to Lilyfield…

Glad you enjoyed the day, after a wet start it improved no end and was most enjoyable, the roads around Mannering Park have not improve in 7 years when I first did this ride so dont expect anything soon.Cheers
