I rushed up www.survivalskillsridertraining.co.uk using an online site editor. I've been trying to rebuild the original survivalskills.co.uk pages all spring and summer, but one thing after another has got in the way. It’s horrendously confusing for a potential customer, so you're undoubtedly losin...

The Spin Doctor I tried recommending you to a friend, but what's happening with your website? Once upon a time, it detailed the various course options, including what each covered, the prices and when they did and didn't run. But all that's disappeared! Nowadays, do you need to roll up a trouser le...

I’m glad SHARP wants to stay ahead of things.

Tadej is Messi, Wout is maradona, Thomas is I guess a Stuart Pearce lol. In the cycling world, they're the giants of the sport in recent times That’s a great analogy. For the uninitiated: GeraintThomas is a double Olympic gold medalist, and he became the first Welshman and only the third British pe...

I’m delighted for Tom Pidcock but disappointed the media gave limited coverage to Anna Henderson’s silver medal on day 1. Why did GB’s diving bronze medal get far more coverage than Henderson’s silver on the same day?

It was nail biting! But what an incredible race and puncture recovery

I wonder if we should lock this thread, as it’s descended into insults.

I agree that the prospect of stability is likely driving the pound to strengthen and the FTSE 100 to grow. I’m pleased about the immediate improvement in the cost of government borrowing since the election result. If the government pays a lower interest rate on its debts, it has more money to put in...

The pound is slightly stronger and the FTSE 100 is up today.

Rachel Reeves said she would hold her first budget in September, and she will have a government spending review in the autumn.

Indeed, the Sun backed Labour on polling day.

I see the Sun has switched sides:

Do we think the UAE team is doping?

Fascinating insite into the nutrition and support side of the teams. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/articles/cxxx568grlwo Fascinating! Energy bars, gels, drinks and gummies provide quick hits on tough days, while more traditional food sources include wet rice cakes, brioches, jam sandwiches, f...

According to the YouTuber, it's his "planning to follow, looking to pass" principle. But for it to make sense fully, you likely need to watch some of the video.

Sixteen per cent of drivers said they were often or nearly always angry at cyclists on the road. That's a lot of angry people behind the wheel :shock: As part of the study, the 1,006 drivers from across the UK who took part in the online questionnaire were asked how often they feel a range of emotio...

Have you seen Reg Local’s new video, 'How to Deal with Cyclists'?

@The Spin Doctor @Horse It’s from a car driver’s perspective, so I’m curious if you’d add anything from a motorcycling perspective.

I’m also shocked by new bike prices and can’t see myself buying new.

Is everyone else taking the PCP route? Aside from anything else, it means you can’t modify your bike.

Why has quality control for gloves gotten worse? Recently, I tried on various brands of gloves, and several had issues such as loose stitching. Many short gloves had wrist restraints that wouldn't keep them on in a crash. And some had scaphoid “sliders” that were more like scaphoid grippers! Shite. ...

Let’s set aside Brexit as it’s done. We left the EU four years ago. However, the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) is worth debating because it’s due for review next year. The current TCA needs a revamp because it has turned the UK into a rule-taker in all manner of things. We accept EU ce...
