  1. I just got my new reflective vest delivered from
    http://www.urban-glow.com

    They sent a nice note with it, asking for feedback from the event.
    So they get a plug here. And its a nice bit of clothing - plenty
    of pockets, including on on the upper back for a drinking bladder.

    If you want to get one in time for the Dynamo, contact them.
    They said they could dispatch via express post for a little extra.

    So if you see a figure dressed in a black Rapha top and a black
    waistcoat with a big relective V on it, lying expied by the side
    of the road you know who it is.

    Fifty quid! I know I'm a bit tight, but fifty quid! for a vest!

    Ah well, so long as you're happy

  3. The vest has a pocket on the back for either a map
    or a drinking bladder.
    It is the size of an OS map. Sadly the bladder from my Tchibo
    rucsac is too large. Anyone know of cheapo bladders which might
    fit? I sense a visit to Decathlon this evening.

    I know, I know. My advice to them, if they read this newsgroup,
    is to cut the price. You will get more orders.

    This of course from someone who bought a Rapha cycling top.
    Cycle shop owners keep a big pot of glee behind the counter for
    use when people like me walk in.

    Especially when a light, scrunch it up when not in use, doesn't matter if it
    gets knackered vest in fluorescent with lots of big reflective bands in it
    can be purchased for a fiver from many a local market.... I don't pay £50
    for a vest ;-)

    Rapha stuff is wonderfully designed & tasteful... but £50 for a bit of
    reflective!!!

    You need to get out on your bike more :-)

    Decathlon (at least here) sell a range of bladders called "Platypus"; at
    least one of those is about the size of an OS map (folded :-)
