    Jaysus cycling!

    No because I worked in a bike workshop for a year and we needed to know what size things actually were. The last time I had to buy one I was actually on the european mainlaind and it was for someone who was travelling by a train that wouldn't arrive in time for them to buy it themselves, so it...

    The legacy stds are still based on metric values all told, it's just placating the brits that it's written in stupid. Anywhoo It wasn't me who started the unit conversion conversation here - but it seems the inch sizes are bullshit in any case

    Jaysus cycling!

    I had the 'almost' version of that this morning. Lucklily i live near a school where almost everyone drives an SUV or some stupid german status thing so you know, on the actual sight or sound of a car that they are gonna do something stupid. I'm days away from becoming a camera guy though...

    It's looking to be one of the most tragic years in the history of the country with cars/drivers hitting people. It's horrible.
