    Almost legal..........

    Saw this at Waverley Plaza - one way of not paying for tolls! Can't be seen by cameras. As for being stopped - how many conscientious (or observant)cops out there? Strangely quiet after elections......still early days to see whether these cretins are going to do something to enforce payment...

    Edit: Update      27th Jan 2014 This trip was to be my last long distance bike trip. Unfortunately, not going to happen - on a bike! Soooo, it'll be by Citigolf, as I basically gave up biking and sold the Big Boy in October last year because of safety concerns. As mentioned elsewhere, I'll...

    This bike was bought new in Jan 2013 by my friend's daughter, who works in the States. She's only here for a few weeks every year, so decided to sell. I bought it two months ago, but have decided to sell as I am giving up biking altogether.  It's done less than 900 km and is still being run in...

    Smaller tube - 19' to 21' rim?

    A niggling question for those dawgs that have tried this. Can you fit a 19" tube to a rim meant for 21"? Has someone done this successfully and for how long will it last? I am still waiting for a 23" tube from my son in Belgium, but I want to get going and ride until at least middle June. Will...
