Cheers for the advice Paul. I think I'll plump for the quote that I got from pedal cover. It covers me for all my triathlon kit when competing too.

So your insurance for house and your bikes is £800? I got a quote with pedal cover which worked out at £30 a month. I'm pretty eager to get insurance. The bike was a write off so I bought a new one for the same value of 2k. I've had to go through a injury solictitor as the drivers insurance would not entertain me. Still no resolution and its six months since. Very frustrating. I just got cuts and bruises from the crash but I've been suffering with back and neck problems since. The two weeks after the crash was very painful. I understand whiplash is a real thing now.

Been away from the site for a while but its good to see people still keeping this thread alive. Had a crash recently, taxi came out of a side road straight into my 2 month old Cannondale Synapse ultegra. Gutted to say the least. Do any of you guys have insurance for your bikes?

https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/3gvO3/ab/e2l4E3? Hi guys. As I posted earlier I promised Warren I'd raise money in his honour. The proceeds will go to BLESMA and east lancs hospice I'm booked in to compete the outlaw half triathlon which is 1.2 mile swim 56 mile bike and 13mile run in June. Then weeks later I will do the 140 mile coast to coast cycle in one day. Please follow the link https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/3gvO3/ab/e2l4E3?

You seem to meet your fair share of idiot cyclists. Can only think of one instance ive been mad at a cyclist.

I tend to slow down when lights are on red so i can keep rolling till they change so I dont have to unclip. Cant image going back to ordinary pedals.

It might be worth a trip to ewood bikes then. If he can get me what I need for 1k then id rather give it to them than a national co.

I dont mind riding in the wet although im cautious downhill. The rule is stay on tarmac and do not ride over grates or man holes.

I will wait for the 2013 sale. Any good websites or shops that will do good deals? And when will the sale start?

I'm on the lookout for a new bikem looking at the cycle to work scheme. So I have a limit of 1000. any recommendations? It needs to be suited to triathlon to ironman racing. I know 1k is a low budget.

Did the ride with brad 100 miler today. It was torturous with 3000m of climbing. very slow pace

I've got the ride with brad 100mile on sumday. Been on hols for last two week and piled half a stone on. Whoops

Its such sad news. I went to see Warren a few weeks ago. He was still in high spirits and his normal good self. Even near the end, his biggest aim was to leave a legacy. He set up the Wooley foundation. I promised him that I would complete an ironman event in his memory next year. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Wooley-Foundation/177118055790356?fref=ts His life was dedicated to helping others. I feel privileged to have classed him as a friend.

Nice article in the paper... http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/10349742.Tributes_to_inspirational_Colne_football_coach/ Seems he was a very well liked and respected man. Didn't know him myself but he seemed very knowledgable and balanced with his posts. RIP

Perfectly. I used to just wear a cotton hat, but this skull cap is ten times more suitable.
