Halfords nightmare
I took my ebike (non halfords) for a inner tube replacement on the rear wheel. Cut a story short they messed it up and ended ripping the motor wires in effect killing it.

Any recommendations for good bicycle insurance?
Hi all. I'm just looking through MSE for bicycle insurance for my son, and I thought I'd ask if anyone has any recommendations for any? Haven't bought any since I was cycling (about 12 years ago now) so I've lost track of the good/bad etc. Anyone got any recent good - or bad - experience to share? :)

London Rail

Cheap train tickets

Two Together railcard
Does anybody have experience of this card ? I discovered, trawling through MSE, that you can use £10 worth of Tesco vouchers to get "free" railcards - so we went for the TT option. At first it wasn't completely clear (to me at least) what the terms and conditions covered - but now I think I have a handle on the key…

I could do some advice here. I currently use a monthly ticket costing me £194 a month to travel within zones 1-4 for my commute. I also like to pop into the museums in London on a Friday and go into the town centre to pick up my groceries on the weekend via the bus. When I'm off, I like to bum around the sights of London…

I've just found two un-presented Delay Repay cheques (2 x £13) which are over 18 months old! :o Before I contact the TOC admitting unbelievable stupidity, should I have any problems getting them re-issued?
