Simon replied to Richard D's discussion What would you do if ...
"How about....Buy your self a very cheap old knackered car. Dump it in the work's car park (assuming you have one), and leave it there. When you arrive on the bike just put it in the knackered old car for the day. Thus…"

Simon replied to doug salmon's discussion Move to Oxford ?
"Actually this was raised at the launch event on Friday morning. I believe that the answer was something along the lines of: much as BNB would like to put in such a link and recognise its importance, it is beyond the scope of what is possible…"

"
yep. My 'bent and my tandem are both too long, and my trailer too wide."
Simon replied to doug salmon's discussion Move to Oxford ?

First up the routes re not disconnected - if you…"

"As the link isn't working at the moment one has to wonder what is "extreme" about a 30m ride from Cannon Hill that has some nice scenery to look at? I'm not dissing the ride - I'm sure you all had a great amount of fun…"

My bike
My Fred Williams Lightweight Special fixie.
