I believe this is STILL trying to get the S106 agreement sorted for the off-site biodiversity net gain.

It should not be this difficult.

New robo-postbox

Useful but slightly ruined the timeless aesthetic of the old ones

Yes neither the 70kg nor 80kg versions of me should be capable of snapping downtubes ๐Ÿ˜‚

2023 experience was that 1x cut was v expensive due to lots of rainfall and perfect grass growing weather. Super large amount of complaints too.

So calculus not that easy RE no mowing = more money for other maintenance

In terms of overgrowth do you mean hedges or verges?

Was found to be limited biodiversity benefit from properly cut and collecting Headley Way hence returning to standard regime (not quite old regime which was 6x cuts not 3x now)

Reduced cuts also doesn't necessarily mean saved money either...

Headley Way specifically or in general?

(This is definitely one of those annoying 2 tier authority budget things btw)

Grass verge management โ€“ Oxford City Council Information on how we manage grass verges to enhance biodiversity in Oxford.

City now up to 3x cuts a year so probably that?

I think Headley Way was one of the biodiversity verges that was cut and collected but we did a review and the poorly performing ones reverted to normal schedule

Yes, don't believe in coincidences so the fact it failed here points towards something going wrong a build time

Ay just scanning the repairs pricelist, with the paint job (which will need to be completely redone) looks like a ยฃ1k+ bill ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Yeah fork is totally fine. Noticed handling was suddenly very very off and suspected the fork then spotted this ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Was custom built for me in 2018, should not be failing like this IMO. The potholes round here are bad but they are not that bad!!

Looks like it started at the lug, definitely a build defect

Does anyone know how on earth you snap a bike frame like this as I've just done that

853 steel frame, 8 years old, never crashed it or even ridden it in the rain. What on earth ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Something very delightfully Oxford about someone taking the time to hand-paint a temporary Queens Lane sign when scaffolding covers the original
