When you absolutely, positively have to get that birthday present home…

…use a trailer. Big things, little things, some heavy stuff, they’ll carry it all. Leave the car at home, you know it makes sense :o)

Rich.

Critical Commute.

Considered by some to be the thinking person’s Critical Mass. Critical Commute also takes place on the last Friday of every month, but (to show how serious and humourless we are,) we do it at 8.00 a.m. and ride into Manchester city centre from a number of starting points.

Info can be found on the GMCC website, www.gmcc.org.uk, and at the Love Your Bike website too. www.loveyourbike.org I think.

Also, for anyone that is interested in a 7 day mass ride in the States, I’ve had a mail from a man in Iowa, who would love lots of Brits to take advantage of a weak dollar and meet up with, literally thousands of cycling Americans.  Go to www.ragbrai.org

The cycling community is worse off :o(

Sheldon Brown died recently of heart failure.

Longtime weirdo, bike nut, and archiver of lots and lots of bicycle related technical data. 

Hats off and a moment of silence for the man. Take care Brown family.
