Dear Sirs,
Somewhile ago, on the general advice of the posters here, I purchased a
combustion engined cycle for general use.  During the winter months I
polished the painted bits, applied oil to the unpainted bits and tightened

Caught a program on telly, about the Erzberg Rodeo single day endurance
race.  Not so much a race, as a war of attrition.  1500 riders enter and
just over 20 finish.

    Just saw a dark-blue Pan-Euro filtering up the Cowley Road.  He
was almost past me when I saw him, but the backs of his mirrors seemed
to be tinted blue.  As he passed I saw that the backs of his panniers were
decorated in diagonal red and yellow stripes, and on his hi-vis yellow

You may recall a couple of weeks ago or so I posted the results of my

I was very pleased with the results and the positive comments I got
really helped too.
