Always check carefully that you're not about to sit on a whippet.

Hypothetically, were I employed, could I book my time getting a bike fit to "medical time off - physio?" 😃

I have a horrible suspicion I am about to talk Roach Major through a rear puncture repair, using spoons for tyre levers, over a What Is App video call. #parenting #cycling #Velophant #BikeToot

Took the hurty leg out for a spin; time will tell if it was a good idea; great to get some fresh air. #cycling #BikeToot #velophant
Black smoothskin neoprene shoe cover dotted with light spots of latex tyre sealant.
Green and black bicycle head tube spattered liberally with latex tyre sealant.
Green and black bicycle front forks spattered in light coloured latex sealant
I'm grateful for, and perplexed by, my puncture this afternoon. 20 minutes of a fine spray of sealant that covered my shoes and the bike, but only a 2psid pressure loss.

hello cycling mastodon, any recommendations for a USB rechargeable rear light that mounts to a luggage rack, please?
I've done googling (well, I duckduckwent) but there doesn't seem to be a big selection.

Is front fork of bicycle with shock absorber
Help please - products / suggestions for fitting a support under a front basket, when all the useful support points are lower than the (moving) shock absorber! Thanks.
This would be perfect, but it's rigid […]

Hand holding detached front barrel adjuster of rear derailleur, next to bike frame, showing the footprint on the bike frame whence it became detached.
Bother - barrel adjuster that sheared off and has been re-attached twice sheared off again this morning, meaning 20k of 36/11 70 rpm to finish my ride.
Obviously this means I need a new bike,
but I have put feelers out to the two people who have re-attached […]

Is bike on car roof rack. Wheels are rotated so valve stems are both at 3 o'clock position.
Flashback to a week ago, shockingly it's impractical for me to ride home from Suffolk, but if the bike has to go on the roof, I *will* make sure that the valve stems are aligned. #cycling #BikeToot #velophant
A single track road across flat moorland under a grey sky with a cow crossing the road and a person on a road bike moving down the road towards it. Note the absence of green shells in the cyclist's jersey pockets.
It all got a bit Moo Moo Meadows for a second, on the Forest this morning. #cycling #BikeToot #velophant #NewForest #cow #MarioKart

I was considering going ironic-FKW,
so I looked up the men's full kit cost for each team in the TdF (barring the ones that, as a Mastodon user, I couldn't ever wear) and the spread of costs is "interesting".
I researched 🇬🇧 costs for […]
Road shown as two lanes with central dividing line. Cycle symbol against left side of left carriageway. Overtaking trajectory as green line that passes close to cyclist symbol before moving progressively further to the middle of the road when the vehicle has passed the cyclist before moving back again.
Overtaking trajectories that really gets my goat, number one in an occasional series #cycling #biketoot #velophant
Yesterday: spent a lot of time researching bike friendly accommodation in Carentan for a 4-man raid a vélo in Sept. Has to have 4 single beds _and_ secure bike storage 🙄. After 2.5 hrs I booked one and two ferries. Now I know how much effort Mrs Roach puts into finding the right holiday homes! […]

I always over cater on long rides. 🍴
So it says here I did 3000kJ of work last time I rode this route, and these bars are 726kJ each, so that’s 5 bars or one every 35km.

Bike tyre removed from wheel to show the inner surface. Tyre has a thick layer of congealed flesh coloured latex covering almost the entire inside of the tyre.
A massive pile of flesh coloured latex lying on a workshop floor next to a bike tyre held up to show the now latex free inner surface of the tyre.
Two identical models of bike tyre side by side showing the treas. The one on the left is the old one and is noticeably worn compared with the new one on the right.
Well that was a faff but not as frustrating as I expected 2 hours ago.
Old tyre came off fairly easily (not a given)!
Old tyre had so much old solid latex in it, that I suspect it prevented new liquid latex from reaching new punctures.
It was really easy to […]

Recommended 🇬🇧: Clothes Doctor for repairs to cycling kit. Three sets of winter bib tights with holes in, fixed and ready for another winter's service, for 10% of the price of new. Should last another winter I reckon. #cycling #BijeToot #velophant #RepairDontDiscard
View from the road of Newlands, a U shaped glacial valley in full summer with bracken and heather.
This is my favourite bit - Newlands north to south. Gorgeous valley. 6km climb, sheltered from the strong W wind by the fells on the right, 20% ramp right at the end. #cycling #LakeDistrict #BikeToot #velophant
