Applespider Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Updated order list > Ladymuck > DJKQ Sandperson ImpetuousVrouw I will be going past the Lidl where Mum picked mine up anyhow so really isn't that much trouble. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that they're still in stock! Besides, I'm hoping that creating all this good cycling karma will mean that one day I get all the lights on green on the way into work ;-)I'm going up on Friday night and will probably nip in sometime on Saturday for them - but will check the thread for any new additions beforehand!

Applespider Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I bear bad news...Neither branch of Lidl had any left; I even asked them to look out the back in case they'd just been removed from the shelves. One manager said that they'd sold out; the other that after 2 weeks on sale, all their promo stuff gets bundled back up and shipped back to their central warehouse. She also said that they might get them back in again since they often do lots of lights/reflective stuff when the clocks actually go back. Sorry guys!

Applespider Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hmmm.... perhaps start by knitting a lurex scarf that could be wrapped through spokes Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11392-cycling-issuesnoticeboard/page/12/#findComment-360483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

computedshorty Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I hear talk of a law that only allows Unicycles to use the new Cycle Lanes.All cycles to have a registration number, to trace those in accidents.Only one wheel would reduce the area that the cycle uses.This would reduce the speed of users.All cyclist's to wear yellow reflective jackets.It would also make the rider more aware of his own danger of getting hurt as to the pedestrian.A cycle lift to be placed at Dog Kennel Hill on the up side, and a Skate board on the down side.St John's Ambulance Staff to attend, and Trafic Warden to write a report of any incident.

Ladymuck Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yay! Work has officially started on what is going to be London's biggest bike docking station. Add that to the existing cycle-parking facilities at Waterloo, this has to be good news for cyclists IMO.

Applespider Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Definitely - now if they could find somewhere at Vauxhall to do something similar, it would be v useful.

Ladymuck Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 I thought there was one at Vauxhall - no? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11392-cycling-issuesnoticeboard/page/12/#findComment-378115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applespider Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 There are two - on either side of Vauxhall Cross but they are pretty much always full. One of those 'supersized' one is definitely required.

katie1997 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 can anyone on here recommend the best brand/type of gloves for cycling in winter? thanksmy hands are freezing early in the morning in my little endura fingerless mitts - its especially bad when waiting at traffic lights as i just want to turn around and cycle home again. brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Pearson Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Kateie1997 - Sealskinz gloves are amazing! they do many different styles for many different uses. good price too. Just google them.. And if you haven't tried already, when it gets really cold. Try some very fine silk liners (decathlon d some good one for under a fiver i seem to recall)I hate cold fingers!

Applespider Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 It's my toes that go first... Brrrrrr! I wanted to try mittens on the bike since I know they keep my fingers warmer when I'm out in snow but can't quite see how I'd change gear easily in them. Hmmm, perhaps 'flipper style' mittens with three 'compartments' so that the middle one can still reach the gear and the other one, the brake.

katie1997 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 thanks for the cycling mittens advice everyone, very helpful to know some good brands from other cyclists. (tu)PS. I never get cold toes so I recommend bridgedale socks (although I am sure these aren't designed specifically with cyclists in mind, more for hill-walking) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11392-cycling-issuesnoticeboard/page/12/#findComment-378528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
