Ouch. Looks like it's anywhere else but from here.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Ribble might have been a favorite place to look, but I often found them out of stock on many things I wanted anyway. That might improve, but it doesn't sound like it's going to and stay as cheap as it is.
I'm mainly a CRC and Wiggle shopper by default. More likely to get everything in one order (or two) rather than a bit from here and a bit from there.
