Any idea what the white/cream tyre is and where to get in UK (or alternatives?) Thanks!

How about costermonger?

120 years ago there were few petrol stations, or garages, or mechanics, or repair shops (but lots of stables for horses). Things change pretty quick when the market has an incentive.

If this was 1900 these are the sort of people who'd say 'just stick with the horse already' and bemoaning a potential ban on oats

Isn't that basically just enabling competitors to eat their lunch?

The whole point of a pension is to defer the tax until you retire, when your pension becomes your income.

You don't/shouldn't pay tax up front, save for a pension when you could be enjoying the money today, then pay tax again on income in the future.

Agree that it has drawbacks. But the majority of people are not abusing it and it still supports the industry.

I would prefer something with wider access for people for sure but people using it are not cheats and villains.

I don't care who takes advantage of C2W. It is a subsidy to the industry that badly needs it. If there is a better way to support bike sales, mechanics, shops etc. let's hear it.

Appreciate it excludes self employed but maybe (Idk) they have their own opportunities to limit tax etc.?

An evergreen choice. Feel it could be bigger on mobile in this instance but have lots to tidy up before optimising.

Trying to make UX and accessibility as good as possible but there's no help for the guff we write ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Agree and don't see why there's no protected cycle lane on A25 Guildford > Dorking > Reigate. Busy commuter routes that would link well with A24 at Dorking

We're doing just that next April - five of us getting ferry to Dunkirk, cycle to de Panne, train to Ghent, then to Middleburg, Rotterdam and Amsterdam by bike, train back to de Panne. Looking forward to it a lot

Thanks for the info. I might give it a go and see how it looks.
