Officially a 1 car household now, and replaced the wife's ageing micra with a Corsa 1.4 Black edition turbo. Next stop, Sainsburys carpark to pick up some skanks.

Just the right size for her and it does 60 in 9.5 seconds which is plenty for my tiny amount of driving.

Best place to look for road bike around £500? I went ride further and commute to and from work.

Ive looked around online and b'twin have some value for money bikes, id like to not upgrade for a while. But keep up with my brother who's an avid cyclist.

@Tom ?

Decathlon do some good gear. Also look at Ribble Cycles, the 7005 bike. I have the winter one, it's only a spare right now but I've done well over 10,000 miles on it and it's very comfortable. Shimano Sora is fine, but personally I'd recommend spending a little more for Tiagra as it has fully hidden cables from the levers and is 10 speed (better compatibility with other gear).

BTW, an upgraded bike will not make you faster. But upgraded legs and downgraded body fat will.

BTW, if you want to commute, definitely get mudguards. And get something with frame eyelets so you can fit a pannier rack. You don't want to commute with a rucksack, you'll just have a horribly sweaty back all day.

Just saw a woman in Victoria, late 20s, with her entire back covered in a massive peacock feathers tattoo. Looked great. I wanted to take a pic but the Mrs might think I'm a dirty old man.

Again.

This quote in the Guard comments..sums up down sarf.

I am not A Labour voter, but if you need a clue as to whats going on, here is one; it costs £7.50 per hour to park a car on a meter in central London, the minimum wage is £7.20.

I couldn't believe you have to pay at Stansted airport just to drop someone off.

This one time, while extremely drunk in Australia, I basically tried to rip out my cornea thinking I still had a lens in.

Basically the reverse of this lady.

Our local parking shysters are getting a good drumming thanks to social media.
They put in 10 new disabled parking spaces and then casually wrote in the small print on the sign, you still have to buy a ticket to prove what time you parked.
Old lady got hit with 100 quid fine...doesnt even seem legal, but as usual, they are threatening with the ballifs.
Must remember to nip down there one night with all my leftover expanding foam...
2 squirts..machines destroyed.
Probably better to give some smackheads 20 quid to do it once a week.
I can dream.

When I trained to dive in Angelsy, one of the trainees was a cave explorer looking to start cave diving...he was an oddball, he had survived multiple skin cancers and said he didnt fear dying at all.
Dead mans handshake is a similar case.

My mate sold his house through Purple bricks and fucking rips them, he drones on about it far too much when drunk...goes on about extras and the worst solicitors on the planet you have to use.
Anyway good luck.

Heres some happy customers.

No way i would do that. Too scarey

Well, if i'd decide to either go scuba-diving through dark and dank caves with limited oxygen or rapell down and crawl through almost too narrow crawlspaces, I'd choose neither tbfh.
