Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fed up arsing about with safety pins when attaching your race number?

I saw them at an expo in Germany. Nice idea, but... how much!? :-O

Was given a similar thing at a race in Spain, but they were press-studs clipdorfix.com

Strangely, I've never considered it to be a concern.

If they were to suggest that my performance would be improved due to improved aerodynamics, however...

I have! I fucking hate the safety pin debacle I have at EVERY race. I'm totally cereal.

I really struggle due to the amount of boobage making pinning on numbers blooming difficult!
I've got a belt thing but it's not much better

I always think that faffing about with safety pins (or lack of them) is part of the build-up to a race

Safety pins are a bightmare. Why don't they make vests with a plastic wallet on the front so you just slide the number in?

You would think that with all the modern technology and materials that something would be developed to replace the good old safety pin - not sure what though - otherwise I'd be on dragon's den!
