Oooorrr... Right clicking on the item in the Accessories list, and sending it to the Desktop as a shortcut....
And then sticking it in the Quicklaunch bar ...?
or just typing it in google...Purveyor of sonic doom

Christ, first the people at Condor are scared of racing and now it's being linked to Class A substances!!! Silly Commuter Racing is really coming of age! We really should let the Olympics minister know so they don't waste all this time building a velodrome and instead just hold alley cat races though London during the rush hour for 2012 :-D0

He has a point with no. 7, but what I think he really means is:
7. Never show that you are trying
Point 6 covers this to some extent. Otherwise I refrain from visibly breathing, or putting in any extra effort whilst scalping.0 -
Wasn't it mainly class B?Dan0

OK it's the mildest, driest evening of the week so far, and for the first time this week I saw a gritter wagon on the way home. I dread to think what tomorrow's going to be like if they've finally brought the gritters out.0

It's finally stopped snowing I just went outside and our road is under a good six inches of hard packed snow with another fresh six on top - I'm never going to be able to ride my bike againRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Done bike in snow in Brizzle today with the only contact betwixt ground and body was feet when it got a little slippy. Pulled away from the lights at the Newfoundland Circus ahead of the car(s), topped out at 18mph Going to see what AT2K made of the ride later.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

If my experience of going from my cr4ppy old MTB last week when it was snowing back to the roadie on Friday is anything to go by a noticeable improvement should occur!
I'm off games for 2 days now as I'm currently in a hotel up in Barlborough (J30 of the M1), thankfully I can get a "low" signal from the offices wireless lan, which is just behind the hotel so I can keep up with everyone else's exploits and actually might read the "Why men shave their legs" thread :-)0 -

Only rode it the 2 miles home yesterday, Then spent time putting lights etc on and setting it up, Today was shopping with the misses so the commute in the morning will be my first real ride, my PB being 24 mins, Lets see how it goes, Though it did feel pretty good if a little strange riding it home (but then I was wearing trousers and shoes lol)On a Mission to lose 20 stone..Get My Life Back

First commute for 7 weeks... tomorrow morning!
Now, do I take the rubbish roadie, or the bowery... I did manage about 18 miles through hilly hilly herefordshire saturday, but I did have gears... hmmmmmmmmmmm...
The bowery has a pannier rack... so much easier.0 -

Mutter mutter panniers mutter. Grumble backpack grumble.
I suppose I brought it all the way here. It's hanging out over there, mocking me with its inferior geometry and downtube shifters.
Fernando the chinchilla is trying to eat it. Go Fernando!0 -
As G66 has said, TAKE THE ROADIE........I don't want to be reading that in the process of showing all the roadies up in Ealing you've gone and knackered your foot again :-(
Besides on the roadie your a lower FCN so you have more targets :twisted:0 -
spin Livs spin
remember it's not how fast you pedal that matters, ultimately it's how fast you get from A to B, oh and being able to pedal also helps"Impressive break"
