I even went on a most enjoyable cycling holiday in France by bike (not my own, I hasten to add), which I managed perfectly well, but can’t remember too many details about, because, part of the time at least, much like Rowley Birkin QC, I’m afraid I was very, very drunk. For finer adjustment, you can have your fingers tight or loose – that’ll give an additional range of a quarter to a third of a finger width. I know of some people who use the two-sided pedals as they stick out less and are generally less obtrusive, but the trouble here is you always have to wear your cycling shoes, whereas with the one-sided SPDs, at least you have the option of wearing normal trainers if you wish. This is achieved by unscrewing the adjuster bolt on the rear side of the brake spindle and removing the whole adjuster, then the washer, the reflector, and finally, the brake spindle spacer.

I mentioned in a previous post that I had recently bought an S2L as an addition to my M6L; a bike I could take out for a quick spin, and something nippy I could use as a ‘racer’ in the Brompton World Championships.You then push the brake forward in an attempt to release it from the frame…but suddenly you realise that it is stuck against the wheel and won’t move far enough for the spindle to clear the hole. Once that’s fitted, it’s just a case of clamping the Brompton to the turbo trainer in exactly the same way you would a regular bike.

I'm sure this will inspire many a fat bloke to don his lycra, and maybe this one will continue past the station one of these days.I've considered standard cycling but don't think I'd have enough puff right now to get there without being a tired, sweaty mess. Well, I’m quite sure there are a number of good reasons, but mine was simply a question of weight reduction…and okay, I admit it; to achieve a more sporty look!

There’s not much more to say about it than that, other than it does the job and comes in four colours: black, red/black, British racing green, and royal blue. Just as is the case behind the concept of the outboard BB, which may be flawed, but for other reasons.

It’s not of course the first time I’ve ridden in a big city – I ride in Manchester quite frequently, for example – but there’s something different about London. I was saddened when Tina Dickinson left our club to join Leeds and Bradford Tri, having decided that after years of battling injuries from running, competing in triathlons was the way forward. The other thing is that the front wheel needs supporting at the right height too, or you will end up cycling in a nose-dive position. I'd like to stick to the legal UK standard spec but am looking to get as much grunt from the motor as possible. The semi-compact is the sensible design compromise between the classic horizontal top tube and the rather ridiculous compact form.

No idea if to get 40mm I need to change the rims or just the tyres or even if I would have to change them atall? It is advertised as the ‘ 20/24″ Wheel Adapter‘, so you would be forgiven for thinking that it would be too short to enable the roller to meet a 16″ wheel.

In fact, given the number of barbed-wire fences, extensive thickets of dense vegetation, marsh and swamp, it was barely accessible on foot, never mind bike! So what we folding bike riders need is a quick and simple solution for finding preferred height that we only have to do the once after each unfold. Anyway, once you have undone the nuts, you then find that the screw on the sprocket side is partially held in place by the chain and sprockets. But there are other situations where it just isn’t appropriate, or convenient, despite arguments to the contrary put forward by the always-carry-your-Brompton school. If you have the bike and can swim decently – I’m afraid that while I represented my house at ‘big school’ in breast stroke as a kid, I now swim with all the grace and proficiency of a house brick – then you have a great chance of mounting a challenge to the great and good who you might not get near if it was solely down to a foot race.However, you need to remember to centralise the brake and fit the cable so that the brakes are snug but not binding (ideally, you will have noted where the cable was secured previously). I was not expecting any response, and I was kinda expecting negativity for being overweight when most of you are super fit.

But alas, 10 years of sitting in the shed plus years of abuse and my bike has had it, so I need a new one.
