Use a helmet, check the bike for good brakes (disc brakes ftw), suspension and see if it isnt falling apart. Or go on holiday to france and buy a cheap one every year, thats what we do.

any of those makes will do a great bike at that price (i bought a trek a fair few years back for similar money and loved it)

in that price bracket you're major decision is front shock or rigid. rather than getting an entry level shock on an average frame i went for a rigid fork and a better frame/drivetrain. that way I had the option of adding a nice shock later but didn't have to worry about other upgrades.

DISCLAIMER i haven't used my bike in at least a year. it was originally bought for mucking about offroad and commuting, since i got a job out of town i don't use it so this info might be totally out of date

Not really, I have a £3500 car and it only costs me 3000 with no claims and 2200 with 1 year claims a year or I could go through a parent of which my mum has 1 years no claims and it would cost me 1300 for the year...

TBH I completely see why younger people have high insurance, one of my mates was in an accident the other day because all he does is speed and managed to drive into the side of another car. Another mate who has been driving a year and a half has so far driven sideways off the road and totalled his defender on a tree (completley rebuilt it in a week lol) and the other month was involved in another accident where he was driving at 2mph and a cyclist went full head on into him completely missing his full front nudge bar and smacking into the bonnet causing a massive dent :rolleyes:

eh ? well he drives a car that is reasonable for his age and length of driving then like the rest of us have had to , i have had to wait 8 years to be able to run a decent performance car on a reasonable budget and all those shitters i have had before have made me a better driver by far and quite a bit more responsible as yet to be involved in any crash or near miss , id like to see some tosspot without insurance explain to me why my shiny car he has just destroyed is not covered by his actions because he is driving illegaly , id clean the road with his fucking face

Never lived anywhere other than yorkshire for more than 3 weeks, been to london on various occassions with the last trip being about 3 years ago and quite frankly it sucked big time everytime.

Yorkshire is a absolute bag of shit... well to quiet

thats becuase if places like liverpool, manchester, sunderland, got wrecked in a film you wouldent see the difference betwen before and after the devastation.

or maybe in places like them, infected weirdos out to kill you would get the shit kicked out of them before they got close... or that (and this is probably due to nature's grand plan) they aren't sinking into the sea steadily like London is :D

yeah, thames barrier might be useful for a short-term emergency... somehow i envision catastrophic failure if its required to be utilised over the long-term

Zadokk

The location of London and the effectiveness of the barrier means that flooding from the North Sea is incredibly unlikely. It's really quite an effective piece of engineering. Don't diss British engineering, we have some of the best engineers and inventors in history :)

then if we're so uber at this stuff, why do we contract it out elsewhere and end up with something like, oh, Wembley... about £500 million over budget and 2 years late? :p

british built stuff is the best in the world. that barrier will hold much more than what it was intended to do. just like the london sewers over engineered just like every thing else we build in the south but i cant speak for up north...

well, anything pro-English or pro-British in this country seems to take second place to the concerns of those with, how should i put it... non-traditional views of the British culture? ie... Pensioner in Middlesbrough having heirloom china pigs confiscated because an Islamic family who recently moved in complained to the police that they were offended they were displayed in her window (where they'd been for about 20 years or so anyway).

It's that kind of bullshit that pisses people off... and when they stand up and say its wrong, they're effectively considered mini-hitlers.

meh. Religion... worst... idea... ever! Faith is fine... however, religion is a fucking failure.

Balls... I only intended to make a quick, smart-arse comment :(
