Credit card fees for topping up Barclaycard bPay band?
I've just received my Barclaycard bPay band for contactless payments on public transport etc. My question is: when you top up with a credit card is it processed as a quasi-cash transaction, and hence attract the associated credit card fee?

Bike wheel buckled
Well the front AND back have - but the back one is getting quite bad. You can feel it when riding if you stop peddling and can see it when looking down. I'm nearly hundred percent certain it wasn't like it when I bought the bike a few months ago (second hand). I have one of those metal/plastic grips on the frame below the…

Specialized The Company......
Good Day I'd like to pass on my experience with Specialized Bikes UK. I recently purchased a Specialized Cirrus Comp from my local cycle store, this isn't a cheap bike at £1500.

Mountain bike: what is this plastic piece for?!
I've had my mountain bike for almost 3 years now, and I've still no idea what the pair of little red bits of plastic are that came with it! The plastic piece has the word "ROTATION" printed on both sides. On on side it also says ">PA-GF 30<", and on the other it says "AVID PS-H06". In case it helps, the bike I have is a…

Cyclists what's with the strobes?
We have a lot of new cycle lanes locally with a lot of cyclists using them. Others still prefer to take their chances on the main highway. But what they have in common is they are festooned with lights like a Christmas tree - this is a brightly lit urban area round here - but they all have clusters of winking red lights…

If I buy a standard anytime day return with zone 1-6 travel card as normal and find the train too busy, can I sit in first class and…

Then I started getting charged £3.50 every so often, which seemed odd and I asked a driver about this It turned out…

East Coast, worth asking for compensation for missed flight?
Hi, Back in August we had a flight to Copenhagen booked from London Gatwick. We had a train booked from Newcastle to King's Cross. It usually takes about an hour to get from King's Cross to Gatwick, so we gave ourselves just over 3 hours to get to the airport after arrival in to London. The railway had signalling problems…
