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!

When I have to use my phone as an alarm and want to snooze it. Having to chase the snooze around because I'm sleepy and the phone moves from landscape to portrait as you swivel it in your hand. When I'm v sleepy and trying to switch the annoying f**ker off, my gears are thoroughly ground ... as will be the phone against a bedroom wall one of these days. :(

Number of bikes passed this morning as dawn broke on my way in: 5
Number with any lights at all: 1
Number with Hi vis jacket: 2

More mobile roadkill :-(

Are these people completely stupid? Some poor car driver is going to wipe one out and then get blamed. Idiots.

It's incredible the risks people take cycling in the dark. Conversely A guy fitted some new wiper blades for me at Halfords the other day and put on a high viz to walk over to my car !!

In the interests of fairness, an update on Hermes. It transpires that the issue may really be as much to do with the retailer as Hermes - the package apparently has an amalgam of my two last addresses on it. The road names, two postcodes etc. I still fail to see why neither of them (Hermes, ProBikeKit) could just call on any of the numbers they hold for me or text or mail (I had mails and texts from both) to ascertain which one was correct.
Now the package has to be rejected, go back to ProBikeKit and then I have to reorder.
Grrrrrrrr

Bikes with no lights and riders with no hi-viz. I give you... Cambridge.

Supposedly the most intelligent young people in the country. So the gene pool we would be wiping out is those with the allegedly higher IQ.

Higher IQ does not necessarily equate to more common sense!
