    What we could do is this:

    Sign up as a partner: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/h/Option/partner

    We all use the partner link. Generated cash pays for SCR social events or something. Obviously needs some better thinking out, or only Londoners would use it...

    Just that indeed and don't trust that clicky London lot, bunch of chancer's the lot of them best keep it amongst us 'real' cyclists :P

    Although most of us are already gold, platinum and special invite customers already :wink: but still a group discount would be a nice bonus for us all.

    My bib shorts and bib tights turned up from Wiggle today, with a free gift. :D

    It looks like a mini bottle opener thingy but not... if you know what I mean. It's a key ring thing of some description almost like a tyre lever as well but too short.

    What the heck IS it????? :?

    I know someone's going to come back and say "it's a ***** you plonker!" I don't mind as long as someone tells me! :roll: :wink:

    Latest purchase two pairs of DHB Merston bib tights from Wiggle (like Kieran I think!). Perhaps it's just me, but I can't remember the last time they threw any freebies in for me. Feel like complaining, I want some more sweeties :)

    When you are ordering and can fill in a wee box with a note for the wiggle people, I always say thanks for the sweets in my last order. Sweets every time. 8)

    I've just fitted my ENO freewheel and new blue KMC chain to the Pearson. Loving it. The ENO is a thing of beauty. Colleagues thought I was mental, measuring chains, muttering about stretch and caressing what to them, resembles a ninja star.

    Still, I'm happy!

    This week from Wiggle, DHB Merston bib tights, Northwave "rib cage" jersey and a tub of Udderly SMOOth chamois cream. Got another Wiggle bottle-opener keyring thing to add to my collection.

    Obviously they don't understand the fetishes/perversions of cyclists. :roll:

    I'll try that. I spend enough with 'em to throw a pack or two in....OK, it'll be a lie first time, but they owe me....
