Is there a measurement for it?
**** paying for it
Might need padded shorts tho
Heres the measure and how to measure the height. Shoes off, stand against a wall. Get a hard back book and pull it up to your nether regions. mark the wall. The correct height is 0.885 of the floor to mark measurement. Then measure the middle of he crank to the top of the seat and that should be the correct height. If the seat doesnt move back and forth that should be it. If the seat is on a rail you might just have to trial and error until youre comfortable. When your foot is at the bottom of the pedal (stroke) your leg should be at about a ten to/ five to six position.

I see what you mean, his saddle height is to low, his foot is on the middle of the peddle instead of the ball of his foot, his stem is both to low and long putting pressure forward on his body, his shorts are too loose, guessing he's got boxer's shorts, causing chaffing in the genitalmams area...

And he's got an erectile incident passing the topless lady boy....

Read that without me bins on.

Read ‘pull’ as ‘put’ and missed the very important ‘to’ in the third sentence and grimaced in imagined pain.

If you’ve seen The Book of Mormon you’ll know what I’m on about.

The Book of Mormon, is the essential reading Ernie?

Hornsea children as young as six 'see obscene image at church Harvest Festival'
"The school informed families the same day and will not be using the church until we can be reassured that this cannot happen again."

Hornsea United Reformed Church in New Road, Hornsea
A group of Hornsea primary school children were allegedly shown "utter filth" at a church's Harvest Festival when a church laptop being used projected an obscene image onto a big screen.

Hornsea Community Primary School children were supposed to be looking at the screen for song lyrics when the inappropriate image came up, The Sun reports. The incident happened at Hornsea's United Reformed Church and parents were informed the same day.

One parent, who asked not to be named, told The Sun: "One minute the children are singing We Plough the Fields and Scatter, the next the church is showing the pupils utter filth. The six and seven-year-olds were gobsmacked and didn't know where to look."

This hard back book you mention, which way do you put the book? Spine or front cover up to your nether regions?
 
Difficult one.
Something to be said for ignoring the news and remaining blissfully unaware (until something impacts your life directly).
On the other hand, it's good to have at least a general awareness of what is going on (mainly here and to a lesser degree abroad). Trouble is, watching the news on BBC, ITV, C4, C5 won't keep you informed of what is really going on. But you are right, it is truly depressing.

What sources do you use for news then ?
 
This is why I browse your forum, it's not even the joke thread and best laugh I have had for ages. I have never had a problem riding my bike.

It's always worth considering the amount of 'Richard Cranium's' you can encounter on our Roads in this day and age?Might be worth touching base with our resident cyclist 'GLP'.

He'll give you some basic tips and hints in how to avoid having to be bionically rebuilt after being struck by a motor vehicle....:emoticon-0103-cool:

I no longer 'devour' news.
Not so easy to answer. The main point is that if you watch say BBC to get the news, and read say one newspaper, you are getting a pretty distorted view and not really getting anything like the full picture of what's really going on. I reckon that the vast majority of the general public haven't really got a clue.
I don't take a newspaper, but when I do want one it's usually the i . But even that is far from independent.
I regularly listen to both LBC and Talk Radio. Often 2 totally different takes on the same news / topics. And that can be good as it stops to make you think at times, as in it can challenge your views. It can also be as frustrating as hell and you occasionally end up swearing back at the speaker (LBC particularly for me, but I keep going back as I know it's good to hear different views and try to see things differently). A further example, I really don't like James O'Brien. I don't agree with most of what he says, and for me he comes across as a smarmy arrogant twat on a personal mission, but, I listen to audiobooks when out walking or driving, and have bought his latest audiobook (on an audible subscription), How they broke Britain; having said that, I think I might actually agree with him a bit more than usual with this book.
I often, but not religiously, watch 6 o'clock news on BBC (recorded or catch up). But became increasingly aware how biased and selective it is.
I use Social Media quite selectively. I follow a limited number of people & groups on Twitter, and a small number of podcasts. Twitter in particular fills in a lot of the gaps, and / or gives alternative perspectives. It often also shows or links you to actual recorded footage, interviews, etc of what's going on too - it's hard to dispute stuff that you can actually see happening for real (although of course it too can be selective and miss context / the background etc). Similar with You Tube.
And you?
