I'd second homebase or just the little cornershop. Value 4 money? Any DIY store, really. That place owned by the Chinese family on Blackstock Rd. for instance.
-
Just a quick one as I'd like to recommend some lights: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/moon-crescent-led-front-light/ Awesome. Bright, easy to put on and take off, and rechargeable. Weather's been all right of late, no? Okay, apart from the wet. Grrrrrrrr.

Have a look at Micycle N4. They do kid's bike swaps.
-
Not really local, but I bring my cowboy boots (leather soles) to that cobbler next to Dalston Kingsland station.
-
Yeah, the weather is totally unpredictable. Yesterday was freezing, man. Today was lovely, just a bit windy.
-
I also plan to cycle all year. Will build a winter bike that I can also ride in the snow as my racers aren't really suitable. Chances are that we're not getting much snow anyway, so it's only cold and wet to consider. Need gloves, too.
-
It's getting colder now. Are you all cycling throughout the winter?
-
I was with Shine on the Green in the past year or so. If you're flexible and don't mind having to chase them up or appointments being postponed, then they're good for models. If I remember correctly it's a full head highlights for 35 and the cut for…

Thanks, guys. All good suggestions. I've made appointments with Oasis on Holloway road; they're a college and have another salon on Blackstock road. A little different than your average salon environment, and I need to go twice (first high lights th…

I may have found somewhere else, but need to check them out first. As I said, I'd like to continue being a hair model as it helps me keeping the costs down, and future hairstylists to learn, so both sides are benefitting. The only downside is that i…

Pulp quoted me 95 after the 50% deduction, so that's not an option. It IS a lot of money just to look pretty.
-
Cheers guys. I'll check them out.

Matt: So sorry to hear. It indeed only takes a second of not paying attention to crash. As cyclists, we have to be more attentive and watch what's going on around us. If you get side tracked by a car that could be dangerous to you, of course you pay…

Hey, Tom. Nice to have another cyclist joining the merry thread. From Enfield to Bloomsbury is quite the commute. Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it as much as this thread's commuters do. I certainly love mine. Had a few quite close encounters with driver…

Yep, happy to hear your cat's back home, safe and sound. I don't think that cat in Stata's picture is the one I've seen. It's a big one with quite a bit of fluff. But then, I've only seen it twice.
-
Or was it an agent? YA novel.
-
Nah, that big ginger one on Tollington Park has been around for a bit longer. Saw it a while back (month or so) and then just recently.
-
As the weather's getting worse: don't forget a spare inner tube, tyre levers, and pump. Last week I had a puncture on Camden Rd. (top of the incline) and didn't have anything on me, despite knowing better. Had to walk all the way up to the Giant sho…

Ha! There's always a ginger one at the Ferme Park Rd. Micycle. They named him Boris. The description would fit, too. ;-)
-
It's hanging around Tollington Park, too. A bit shy and runs away when you approach it.
-
Really? That's my bad then. I thought you were the one that knitted a lot and had a publisher interested. I could swear it was you.

Writing group.

But you've met me ... been a while, still. :-)
-
Damn, I've committments for the weekends. :-(
-
Never been to OT, but I really like Park Theatre. Would like to go more.
-
Sutent: Tollington Park, Tollington Way, Holloway Rd., Camden Rd., then the one-way whatevertheroad's (Bayham?) called, turn into Pratt St. then Delancey St. then left and straight ahead into Regent's Park's Outer Circle till York Gate, and off onto…
-
I commute to Kensington, so over Camden, then Hyde Park is the best route for me. I made it in 30 minutes once, but was cycling as if the devil was after me. I'm not pushing it anymore and it takes me between 37 and 45 minutes, depending on my state…
-
Cheers, N19, will try out a few routes. Am a bit annoyed with the slow going in the traffic. I've found a good way to get from Regent's Park to Hyde Park with only a few traffic lights and quiet streets. The route from my house to Camden is the wors…
-
Matt: exactly how I feel. The way to Camden is a drag, but coming back is an easy one. Maybe it's got to do with being still in 'waking up' mode in the mornings.
-
And Sutent: weirdo! I hate it more every time I have to take it. Don't like hills. At all. And I also don't like bloody long inclines. grrrrr
