Just read that Ace Cafe London will not be reopening after lockdown. There are ceasing trade in London and will be opening in Barcelona. Was on my list to visit at some point.

Where else would you buy second hand parts? If it was on Facebook I'd be totally out of pocket. There's so many scammers on there, selling bits of bikes they don't even have, taking photos from dealers sites and saying it's theirs and they're breaking it. Search FB market place for scammer and you'll see loads of people reporting them.

Places like the Stafford bike show, although that's not going to be happening this year I wouldn't think....

Bit tricky a few weeks ago when it wasn't happening. I guess I should have asked where online?

Bruised or broken/fractured ribs. Excruciatingly painful.

I had very bruised ribs after someone drove through me when I was cycling to collect the kids from school a couple of years ago. Not fun. Hurt to breath for two months (with muscle painful spasms in reaction to anything more than light inhaling at first) and made lots of things very difficult. Hope you heal up soon Gary.
