  1. If we are talking of transporting these on the subway or bus then Brompton would still be the smallest and slickest for folding I imagine..... but expensive with proprietary parts. Bike Friday and Dahon should feature as well though. Something more akin to a road bike, and used by triathletes is the Airnimal Chamelon which is light and quick but is a larger package. The Airnimal Joey would be the touring equivalent and I've owned both of these bikes and loved them. All of their parts are standard so easily sourced.
  2. Ermmm........let's just say that I'm having problems. I do have thoughts even outside the toilet you know......well...at least some of the time.
  3. Oh....I don't know.....there's something strangely admirable about aiming low and missing.
  4. Why is it every time I see a dog I feel my heart lift?
  5. I'm sorry.....but now you have gone too far. I have never promulgated in my entire life and am on record as condemning it as a filthy habit. This is a new low even for you... and you are reported.
  6. Indeed it does involve differing opinions.....but then only when you allow it and don't insist upon closing it down. I find it odd that you insist upon injecting politics into almost every one of your posts...as with this one, and extending this even to your signature. Even more odd is that you do this while complaining about tribalism and of politics injecting itself into the Cafe. Never mind.....as you say people here just want to get along and indeed there is much to be admired about those who support others and are kind. It's my fault entirely of course.....it's just when I see arrant hypocrisy flaunt itself I can't help myself. Put it down to me being so old.
  7. Good heavens.....my age yet again? Just think.....now wouldn't it have been swell if back then when P&R was created you had followed the advice you give now.....you know...that stuff about not whinging and if you didn't like a topic then just don't participate. That's golden advice.....right?
  8. Sorry.....your attempts to rewrite history won't wash and using personal abuse indicates that you're aware of this. You have your own perspective of course but I'm unaware that any "bully pack" ever existed..... though I do get some flavour of what you mean when you refer disparagingly to my age, tell me to grow up, doubt my ability to practise my profession and question my cognitive abilities. I mean that all very fine....but it doesn't change what happened I'm afraid. Is this where I say.....bully much?
  9. This differs from my version of events.....you opposed the creation P&R from the beginning, you lost that one but then participated, but clearly while doing everything you could to undermine it. You actively then undermined max in his well-intentioned attempt to act as Moderator of the sub-forum to the point of him giving up. You then complained that politics was leaking into the Cafe and made life difficult for SW resulting in the closure of the sub-forum. It's ironic that you now protest when someone resists your attempts to bring politics into the Cafe. So please......don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
  10. Same here........but I find it better to say nothing.
  11. Well....I happen to be old and I have to agree with the sentiment displayed....dear me yes. Yesterday on my daily walk I was forced to offer advice to a woman jogger regarding the advisability of a sport's bra. My advice was offered in the spirit of help and support.....support that was clearly lacking. I can tell you that this was not appreciated by the lady concerned but I do seem to be healing nicely.
  12. Good heavens no......it's much clearer than that. It may be uncomfortable to feel that max is right about this.......but then.... max is right about this.
  13. It is indeed strange....yet that is exactly what happened. It was clear what was happening then.... as those most opposing the existence of P&R were the ones vigorously participating...... and it's clear now.
  14. I've just finished the second series and thought it brilliant. A bit painful to watch at times as it does seem to mirror life only too well.
  15. This goes for me as well......though I do take a little stroll beside the river every day.....nothing too strenuous as I find I run out of puff quite quickly these days. Does make me think though. Today…..as befitting a greybeard I sat awhile on a bench and dozed in the Sun.. down by the side of the Eden it was the Sun warm on my face…the air deliciously cold and birdsong of every kind surrounding me and it was perfect….lacking nothing….complete… walking home I thought…how strange it is my world has drawn-in to become this small thing all of my wanderings have come down to this just another old boy dozing in the Sun causing the odd passer-by to smile a little.
