I want a new bike for winter - any recommendations?
At the moment I have a "Quest Audax Shimano Tiagra 10" which can be seen here. I think the wildly optimistic page heading of "race bikes" can be safely ignored in this case. It's a decent enough bike, albeit entry-level, but with winter coming I want something with a bit more stability and stopping power in the wet - I…

Looking for calorie-dense foods for vegetarian allergic to milk and wants to eat "healthy" but gain
On behalf of a non-MFP family member: 20-year old, female, allergic to milk protein, went sort-of vegetarian at the start of the year. She's still eating sensible quantities of food, but a combination of dropping the calories from meat from her diet and her desire to eat 'healthily' (ie fresh fruit & veg, fish, avoiding…

Well, that was embarassing...
The place to post all the dopey things you've done on a bike To start the ball rolling, my ride this evening: Coming home in a short-sleeved shirt, I was getting pretty chilly, so when I stopped at traffic lights which I know have a really long phase, I thought it would be my chance to quickly get something warmer on.…

Avoiding a sweaty helmet
(brief pause here to let the UK contingent get their fnaar fnaars out of the way and compose themselves) OK, so all winter I've been cycling with a skully between my hot bonce and my cold bike helmet. However, back in the dim distant past (ie last year), any cycling at pleasant temperatures left me with a very sweaty head…

Cold weather gear - what do you wear/recommend?
So, winter (weather) is well and truly upon us - what do you wear for the cold conditions? My top half is well sorted, but I'm confused about the best way to dress my legs and other important parts. I have some compression under-layer trousers, which would keep me warm... but they have no padding. I could wear them under…

Best bang for your buck in Protein-dense bars/cookies
Yeah, it's another protein bar thread. However, this one is a bit more specific - I'm on a quest (no pun intended) to find the bars with the most protein for the fewest calories. There are lots of them around that have boast 25 or 30g of protein, but then they're 350+ calories a pop, and I'm looking to max out my protein…

UK Men of a certain age - now that you've slimmed down, where do you buy your clothes?
When I had a 41" waist, buying trousers was easy: everywhere catered for the "fuller figure", including delusional waist measurements with expandadable comfort panels so you never had to face up to your real waist size. However, now I've slimmed down and there is pretty slim pickings (excuse the pun). A couple of months…
