I'm a good boy I stop at red lights on my bike, although mainly to have a rest from breathing out my arse.

Next year's Tour de France route was unveiled today. Looks like Froome will get his chance, with Wiggins concentrating on the Giro.
I think I might go down for the Alpe D'Huez stage, then try and catch the finish in Paris.

I'll probably go down this route, are there any good bargains to be had at the moment or any recommended MB websites?

Nows the time to be looking at season end deals on bikes as the shops look to shift 2012 models to make room for 2013.
There are certain companies that do high spec models that are a couple of years old such as Winstanley Bikes in Wigan, but be a little careful with them as from experience they advertise great deals but they will then only have like 1 or 2 of the bikes.

Just bought myself a turbo trainer, done a few sessions with a Chrissie Wellington training mp3. Close to vomitting every time I do it.

Haven't been out for nearly a month now, what with being on holiday, my wife losing my jacket and not having any lights.
Now I've sorted all that I need to get my arse in gear and get out for a ride in the dark.

Been out twice this week and frozen my nuts off, really need to get some winter gloves. Have discovered Strava which is a bit scary......

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

I use it too. I always tell myself I'm just using it to track my route and average speed etc. but it always ends up with me blowing out of my arse trying to beat segment times.

The front tyre on my bike drops from 40psi to 20psi overnight! It doesn't drop below 20 after that, is it likely the valve is knackered?

I see that you can get a "slime" inner tube that is supposed to be self healing. Any good?

A new inner tube will only cost you a couple of quid.
