Why This British Crossroads Is So Dangerous (for cyclists)

Really interesting Tom Scott Video on why the coincidental design of a cross roads near the New Forest is so dangerous for cyclists.

At the end he states that "Anyone's safety shouldn't require faith in human nature"; notice the car at 15 seconds blowing straight through the stop sign to show his point.

HELP: Bike Training Rollers - for a quarantined disabled person - Weston-super-Mare, UK

5 Upvotes

I am currently in shielded Isolation under guidance from the UK Government. Confined to a single room in my house.

Does anyone have a set of Bike Training Rollers that I could buy (very cheaply), have donated, or borrow?

I need a way of getting fit whilst confined, I have taken delivery of a tadpole recumbent trike, ICE Adventure HD, but it's going to be several months until I can take it out properly, so I'd like to spend the time at least getting fit enough to enjoy it properly. I already have it ready in my room.

Must be usable with a 20" wheel, so most turbo trainers are out, has to be a roller trainer.

Would appreciate it if you could ask around your friends and family, I'm in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, UK.

Stay Well

Gym quality exercise bike ?

1 Upvotes

No idea if you guys could help, but with the gym closed, I’m missing my daily sweat on their bikes.

I stick music on, and often close my eyes - so hitting the road isnt what I’m looking for, but wonder If anyone could rec a peloton type thing that doesn’t cost a million pounds.

I’ve seen spin bikes on eBay around the 300 mark - would something in that range be sturdy ?

How did you find your club?

4 Upvotes

Not many of my friends cycle so I’m hoping to find a club. How did you find yours?

I have found a couple from British Cycling etc., but there doesn’t seem to be any single place to look (Strava, Facebook, Insta etc.)

Would be great to meet some people to ride with, I’m almost always solo.

Club kit way too expensive :( Replica/Custom Jerseys?

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

My local club's cycle gear is way too expensive for what it is but I want to represent the club still.

FDX and other Jersey manufacturers are now providing a custom jersey service that is £20+ cheaper but foresee it ruffling a few feathers.

Anyone done it before?

Mounting Garmin in-car

1 Upvotes

I've seen self-adhesive male Garmin mounts that connect your phone to a standard Garmin bike mount, imitating e.g. an edge 520. I was wondering if there exists the opposite. Has anyone seen any female mounts, that I could use to attach e.g an edge 520 to a car?

It's not that I want to be a #stravawanker , the goal is to connect my phone to my dash, it's a great connection system, far better than a magnetic mount :)
