Primarily a road bike but I don't want a "racer" I want to attach a load of shit to it and go bike camping too, not quite raw off-road but the odd bit of forest.

I'd also quite like some sort of USB phone connectivity for telemetry gubbins, or at least charge ports. I have no idea if there would be a cap, but I would probably want to go up to £2k with maybe £500 of my own money on top. But would want a frame and bags included in that too.

If that's for an e-bike you're pushing your luck on that budget. You want a bottom bracket motor (not hub motor) from a branded source like bosch. Same with battery. Do not get unbranded Chinese stuff that'll burn your house down.

Bikes are relatively cheap. But reliable bikes are still a few grand.

I'm just about to spend nearly 5k on a bike that does nearly everything you want except has no electric assistance. I should have it in a fortnight.

Ps you can have a headset USB port if you like, some have a buffer battery you hide somewhere. The bike I've ordered has a front dynamo hub so I'll add a socket to it once I've decided what's best. But the cheapest and sometimes best option is just to buy a phat Anker battery and charge stuff when needed. You can bungee it to the racks.

I'm looking at this at the moment. My current bike is a Carrera and I have been pretty happy with it.

Also look at step through frames. They may look girly to some but they can be more practical. The downsides are you can't lean the frame against the inside of your thigh when stopped, and less space for water bottles.

OK - how do we feel about this:

www.bbc.co.uk

Powys: Couple buried father in pagan-style woodland ceremony

The daughter carried out his last wishes by burying him in the pagan-style ritual, court hears.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Old man, kids buried him according to his wishes upon his death.

They didn't override his wishes and take him to hospital when they should have done but, again, they did not do this with malicious intent, rather because they had misguided and grave views and a loyalty to Mr Brett

Now, if your dad wanted beyond anything to be buried in a certain way - but not the way that most people would be buried - would you fuck the law off and follow his wishes?

Personally, I want to be put on a pyre on the top of a viking longboat that's full of oil - be pushed out to sea and have my mates shoot fire arrows at me. :)

God damn it I fucking hate religious people:

www.theguardian.com

Justin Welby ‘affirms validity’ of 1998 gay sex is sin declaration

Archbishop indicates he will not seek to punish churches that allow same-sex marriage in balancing act
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

So, yes, gay sex is a sin - especially according to the bible. And Welby is clearly saying that backwards arsehole believers could well burn down churches if he said "nah, the gays are fine". He's also saying that gay believers in liberal democracies could get punchy because he's refusing to say gay sex isn't a sin - so he won't punish churches that bless the gays.

I particularly like this quote:
Yet again priority has been given to saving a manmade institution over protecting LGBTQ+ people’s lives

Well, duh. You fucking idiot. The number one priority of the church is looking after itself. And you're a disgrace to gay people to not be able to see that the bible fucking hates you - and on top of that you've failed to examine your beliefs and still continue, in the face of all the evidence, to believe there's a god that gives a shit.

And on top of that - your particular brand of asshattery's guide book clearly states it's rules - and it don't like you.

So, it's a shit institution, run by a self-serving arsehole, frequented by self-deluded wankers from both sides of the ideological and intellectual divide.

:eek:

"Gay sex is a sin"

Just not when Priests are fucking little boys.

Religion has no place on this world.
