  1. Being sad, I bought a TxFlare (annoying website link follows)
    <http://www.txflare.com/>
    If you want to avoid this very annoying website, TxFlare is a gizmo
    with LEDs that goes in your spokes and you can load it with different
    messages up to 16 characters each. Once above 7mph, the message can be
    read as a static message, regardless of wheel speed.

    So, I can have seven different messages, each up to 16 characters.
    That's where I need the inspiration - what should my wheel say?

  2. If you are doing the Dun Run, "For sale" and carry a pocket full of
    them.
    you'll do a roaring trade

  3. Hmmm .............. in 16 characters or less you say.

    How about a message that will put fear into the very hearts of any motorist
    that is even considering messing with you: "I_AM_A_LAWYER" - and it still
    leaves you with three spaces for exclamation marks.

    BTW having looked at the website, I too am suffering with flashing lights
    before my eyes. Think I need a lie down.

    Hmm... 18-24" wheels - so not for 26/700's then?

    There's always a reason to have a recumbent (but it alledgedly does 26"
    wheels too)

    Morning had broken. I found a rather battered tube of Araldite
    resin in the bottom of the toolbag.

    I was going to say that it's not annoying putting a URL into the text when
    speaking about a specific item by it's brand name, indeed in most cases it's
    a damn good idea, 'specially when many people won't know what you're on
    about otherwise.

    Then I went to the site ....

    You should be ashamed.

    I thought I saw his name on a jar of marmalade the other day, but when
    I looked more closely, I saw it read 'thick cut'.

  13. If you had no idea what you wanted it to say, why on Earth did you buy the
    thing? I don't think "sad" covers it.
