UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying: Equipment - Bike

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/p/equipment-bike.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. So what drives a MAMBO’s decision to buy? Here was my thinking:. Needs to be of a higher specification than average (say 75 – 80%) but not too expensive as that would be naff (uncool). Besides have you seen the price of the top of the range stuff! Tricky one here – but to be honest I do take into account safety – are those lights bright enough or the jacket green enough. Does it all match! Are you a modern or retro per...

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying: February 2013

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. Tuesday, 26 February 2013. Clipless pedals part 3 - Road Pedals. I have hesitated from posting this third post on clip-less pedals, mostly for the risk of appearing to be a total fool - or at best the most indecisive cyclist in Britain and maybe the world. On pedals, the story took us from the world of flat pedals to SPD's (mountain bike pedals). Not to be confused with SPD-SL's which are road pedals by Shimano. I was ...

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/p/general-thoughts-on-cycling.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. General Thoughts on cycling. This is a list on links to articles on the Blog that relate to general thoughts on cycling - nothing in particular just my musing on varied subjects that jump into my mind. Cycling with the wife. A pleasant experience but with it ups and downs (fnarr fnarr). Middle aged women and saddle height. A worry trend I may or may not have noticed (probably neither). Those little fibs we tell. My att...

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying: Lemming Pedestrians

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/2013/07/lemming-pedestrians.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. Wednesday, 24 July 2013. Over the last few weeks - I have been assailed by Lemming Pedestrians from all directions. All I am asking for that these pedestrian lemmings do this by sticking their head in an oven or shooting themselves, any other way in fact, that does not mean they endanger others who are quite happy to be alive and would like to continue doing so. Petronella Wyatt's mother). It must be the case that ...

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. Thursday, 28 March 2013. Please come out to play! Pre-Christmas I was on a roll. I was really pushing the fitness levels up and the weight was coming off to a very competitive level. Then I got flu (as mentioned previously) I haven't even looked at my bike for 3 months! Edit (18 April 2013): Well since writing this post I GOT ANOTHER COLD! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. Friday, 26 July 2013. The Nostrodamus of Blogs strikes again. So as ever I write something and then a little later I pat myself on the back for looking into the crystal ball of cycling. Regular readers will remember I wrote a post back on the 29/1/13 about how I think segregated cycle paths and me might not get on well together - you can read it HERE. I weep for my children and not only because they have me for a dad.

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying: So who am I?

http://ukmambo.blogspot.com/p/so-who-am-i.html

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. So who am I? A little about me. When I was a young buck I was a devoted sportsman – I competed to a high level at school boy athletics and some of my 200m records still stand to this day. How was it that I had become so apathetic to sport? Well to tell the truth it was not only the comfortable lifestyle but also I carry a fair amount of underlying upper body joint problems – bit too much of a gym bunny as well! Image: ...

UK MAMBO - Live or Die Trying. A Slightly Tongue In Cheek Look At Middle Aged Cycling. Thursday, 8 August 2013. Proud to be a MAMIL. Part 1. Edit: Having written a large amount here without coming to a natural conclusion, I am making this into a series. You can't just write about MAMIL's without veering off in other directions to help fully justify or or further illustrate the concept. I wrote some time back about what is a MAMIL ( HERE. This division ends up with us having hipsters, commuters, racers, t...
