These cages are pretty cool: http://www.arundelbike.com/product/loony-bin/.  Look pretty nice and can fit a wine bottle.

Normal size bottle cages fit wine bottles perfectly.

4. Huge bottle cages. Something that can fit a 1.5 or 2 litre bottle. Dont give a shit what they look like but id like them to be sturdy. haha.

Here's some. They'll fit nalgene bottles. There's some variations of them as well.

I'm a bike mechanic at Halfords. Single mothers can bang on about how tough life is but its way harder being a white male living on 50p above minimum wage.

Ended up with.me not bringing my bike. I was going to parents and my life is too poverty spec for the likes of spending 50 euro on bike travel.

I need a new phone soon too and am looking for reputable places to buy unlocked UK phones too if anyone has any suggestions?

£220 + a few quid for postage. 3gb ram, 64gb storage, no SD card, 4g and runs without all the usual bloat bullshit.

I want to bring my bike back from France. Anyone know if it's worth lying and putting it down as sports equipment (half the price of a bike?

So a self driving taxi, you're saying?

Exactly that. Its what they'll be used for initially...

I can see a subscription based self driving car thing coming around. Pay a monthly fee, get a car near/at your home. Get driven to work, decide to go for a beer, end up in a different city, get a car back home. It doesn't matter that its a different car because they're all the same.

BPN banned me and it caused such an uproar in the subforums that he ended up banned. It was comedic genius.

Dan, I still check in every couple of months. I rarely have much to say so I don't.

Things are pretty alright for me. I moved to Boulder, CO a year ago and just relocated to Denver. Life out here is much slower than it was at home. I just totaled another car so nothing has changed in that department. I believe that was my 14th car in 12 years (not all due to wrecks).

I work at a tech company write now splitting my time between support and content writing. It's nice to be out of the service industry but I miss the social aspect.

Not to completely sidetrick the thread (someone make another if ya please), but how has everyone been?

Have you slept in the freezing cold in your car with gloves on your feet lately? Or was that just a one time deal?

Didn't bpn ban Jame$ and then he got his mod powers revoked? After he couldn't ban people quite a few terrored him and then he threw his toys out the pram and left.

I think Paulie was but I haven't seen him post for years! Nor Jame$.

Jame$ is well into his climbing now. As far as I know he doesn't ride bikes anymore.

My knees are killing. Feel like they're bruised at the top, behind the knee cap. Going to move my seat forward, slide my right cleat back and see if that helps.
