		<description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday I went and had a little meet up with other bicycle touring mad people, some clearly madder than me, just. Alastair Humphrey&#8217;s came up with the idea of a bicycle tourist meet up. We took over the top of the pub and had a good old natter, oh and a few beers was drunk.
It was great to meet Friedel of the travellingtwo.com fame, if you are thinking about jumping on your bicycle for a world tour or just a weekend away their website ain&#8217;t a bad place to ...

		<title>A rather depressing ride aka do we not care ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday I had to got out to Greenford in west London to pick up my new toy, more about that in another post. Since I was in NW6 and therefore not far from the Grand Union Canal, which runs from near the Docklands in east London all the way through north/central London to the west. You can even go as far as Bath and Milton Keynes and beyond if you are that keen.
I jumped on the canal in NW6 and started to ride on what I really hoped would be ...

		<title>Falling out of love with Crank Brothers&#8217; pedals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years back when I decided to go clip less, I search for something that was easy to clip into and easy to learn to use. I don’t like the “proper cycling” shoes as you can’t just jump off your bicycle and have a walk as you please, so I was looking for MTB style cycling shoes.

		<title>Here we go again &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Peli came home today she heard the sound of running water. We soon narrowed it down to the pipes behind the shower and it was clearly coming from above. 
I&#8217;m kinda sad that I didn&#8217;t use this blog to list our last problems with running water that wasn&#8217;t inside the pipes. Some of you might recall the great flood of 2007/2008 and the resulting lack of kitchen for a year and the bath room for around 3-4 months in 2008. Just because of the &#8220;wonderful&#8221; tenants upstairs who among ...

		<title>LEGO town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of the most amazing fantastic things I have ever seen build with Lego. How Dave DeGobbi got the idea I do not know it is simply put a work of art and something I would have loved to have build or played with.
Dave DeGobbi’s steampunk inspired creation takes a small city and puts it on a mobile platform! The idea is crazy enough to work both in concept and execution. This creation is supposedly a luxury resort set in a post-apocalyptic world. What wouldn’t I pay for ...

		<title>The dreams that bricks are made of</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Some people look at Lego bricks and see great potential buried within them. In their hands Lego rises above its childhood origins and gets a chance to aspire, to be part of something great.
In Warren Elsmore&#8217;s hands 11,000 Lego bricks have been fashioned into a scale model of the Forth Railway Bridge. 
He even made a stunning Lego model of London&#8217;s St Pancras station. Use the ling below to see the BBC video.

		<title>Brooks saddles factory tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had a grand day out with a handful of leather nuts to the Brooks saddle factory in Birmingham, UK. We were split into 2 groups and had a tour on the factory floor. Where we could see, hear and smell the production of these beautiful leather saddles. The whole production is done in true industrial style, e.g big and noisy with oil and steam (ok just added that last bit for effect).
I do have a weak spot for old industrial craftsmanship, ok CNC, robots are great but each ...

		<title>Neglected Brooks saddles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at a friends place today helping him out with some computer problems, as payment I got two rather knackered looking Brooks saddles. My friend have found them on dumped bicycles or on bicycles left outside to rot. He was thinking that he could use them for a wee bit of art work and have now painted them black. But then figured out after I said that I was looking for a new saddle that I might have some use for them if I could save them.
After a little ...

		<title>Bicycle tourist meet up, Tuesday, March 9th 2010.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading The Travelling Two website tonight as fell over a post there, Alastair Humphreys is planing a meet up for bike tourist, March 9th.
I thought that it may be helpful, now that I have done a few trips, to arrange an evening in a pub when I can try to help other people who are planning their own expedition.
So, if you think I can help you with anything you may be planning then do come along!
I will be on the top floor of the Iron Duke pub in ...

		<title>DIY find mark II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our washing machine started a few weeks back to blink all its light like a discotheque. With a bit of random pressing of buttons and opening and closing the door we got it running. But over the weekend no matter how much pressing. swearing and dancing it would not do anything other than blink its lights.
So today I started to do a wee bit searching on the net and came up to a few things I could do. Armed with a Phillips screwdriver and my solar light cap I set ...
