Track pump that fits AirZound horn?
I have an AirZound bike horn, but none of the pumps I have quite fit. As much as I push down, I can't get any air in. I need a new track pump anyway -- ideally one with a double Shrader/Presta nozzle, and a pressure gauge. But most importantly, one that fits the AirZound! Any suggestions? :)

Kidderminster to Edinburgh by train?
I've been searching for trains to and from Edinburgh in April. (Going for 2 night break). Managed to find one going for £25 for the three of us! (2 adults and 1 child with railcard). Coming back, nothing for less than £200. Surely that's not right?! Can anyone advise how to find a cheaper fare? I looked at the bus but…

Vertical hand grip?
Hi I have a hybrid bike with a flat handle bar. I think it has been giving me shoulder/bicep trouble (aggrevating an old injury). Ideally I need attachments for the handle bars to allow my hands to have a grip closer to vertical rather than horizontal. Do such attachments exist? Or do I need a whole new handlebar?

Why, when local councils have spent millions of pounds installing either dedicated cycle lanes near to a road or have signposted existing footpaths as shared cycle lanes / footpaths do many cyclists insist on still using the road? Many of the dedicated lanes are adjacent to busy, fast moving roads so are clearly there to…

Fuelling a bicycle
I have been using myfitnesspal recently to lose a bit of weight. When I cycle to work it takes about 80 minutes. So the calories burned mean I can basically eat another meal in that day. As this is a money saving site it struck me that the cost of a meal is probably more than the cost of petrol if I had driven. Most people…

Annual Oyster Refund - incorrect amount?
Hello MSE-ers! So I purchased a Zone1-2 annual travel card in April 2016. I was looking into the option of refunding the remainder, so that I could purchase a new one to get cashback with my Amex Platinum Everyday credit card (it needs to be done this month for the 5% cashback in first 3 months bonus).
