A full-bore road bike (carbon fibre everything!) is probably massive overkill for what you’re after, Russell. One alternative is to look more at the touring or cyclocross models.
Ah yes: someone else said "touring bike" to me too. I'm going to pop up the road and have a look at what's there. Basically, something I can ride 100km on.

Cool. You’re in a better position to make that call, so I’ve deleted the reference. Fair’s fair and unfair shouldn’t stand.
Yup. I have some idea who it might be and could probably chase down a name, but really, who gives a shit?

Muse: NZIFF Rant: A Diva's Place Is On…, in reply to giovanni tiso,
Some people really must get a life at their earliest possible convenience. He also gets free arsehole points for the use of “ADHD kids” as a slur.
I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. Could've done without it, but why is his actual point -- that people using cellphones during screenings is rude and contemptuous of others -- so "get a life" awful?

Ant Timpson has kicked off a Facebook page to campaign for an end to the use of cellphones in cinemas.
