I'm a little stunned at the risk perception here. We have suggestions of denying medical care to unhelmeted cyclists (but not the bigger killer of heart disease or the more dangerous behaviour of...

That's standard in my world, hehe. You don't need to justify it; it's mathematically N+1 where N = number of bikes you have and +1 is the number of bikes you need. ;)

Sounds like you have an idea...

Besides the soft skulls 1, most parents are protective and have been trained that cycling is dangerous, 2, society often legislates to protect children because they are assumed to not have the...

Thank goodness. There are resources here. And yes, we killed more on the roads (no cyclists afaik) this Easter than have died in Afghanistan, but the Prime Minister won't be attending the road...

I can't see why you'd use cans either; real food tastes so much better. I'm doing another batch of Oven Roasted tomato sauce:

2kg ripe tomatoes (more if I have them)
2 big onions, roughly chopped...

I think you're heading in the right direction after perhaps finding your natural training cycle by default. Or possibly it's too aggressive this early, depending on your winter. Is your iron ok? And...

Au Ups every time. Bomb proof, bright, good battery life, fantastic service.

We really should limit helmets to Fridays ss. ;) Are you talking about the 'anti-helmet' group that wants to normalise utility cycling and thinks helmets make cycling look dangerous, thereby slowing...

The guy doing his masters might want to have a look at this recent research (link at bottom of page, 7MB). It wasn't summarised very usefully imho, but it does bring together in one place some of the...

I can't see how a 650c rear would do anything to help your comfort :confused: but it will probably kill your geometry = handling. The brakes might not reach either, but you can retrofit long reach...

Depends entirely on features and how it looks and the weather and where I'm going. Black is slimming and I like it :D but I have colours as well. I even wear a vile vomit pattern if all the other...

hehe, sounds like fun. I asked an ex pro once (trackie, road) whether she used to get fed up with it and drag them off at the lights 'just cos she could' and she giggled and said yes.

Strong is the new thin. ;)

Middle aged men in Lycra. It's been around a while.

+1. Every few rides.

Absolutely agree with a lot of that shootingstar; I just think we are nibbling at a problem that requires big bites, nursing the victims rather than fixing the problem. And there does not seem to be...

Wow, better editorial and more vicious comments than here. Who'd a thunk it?

Thanks 7. Will send off the link to our one Senator who expressed outrage last week over the final chapter of a long-running case where a lawyer hit and killed a cyclist, didn't stop, drove past the...

Do you know what your current wheels weigh? If the wheels are standard you might be able to find the total weight of the wheelset (then add tyres); otherwise you can get tyre weights and rim/hub...

Very happy to see Johan take the win, after years of riding his guts out for Lotto etc. Some lovely pix, different to the usual sites, here. A Dutch friend is heading off to watch Amstel Gold next...

I discussed this at length with a green developer recently. For a development 5km from the CBD, the council insisted on 2 car parks per unit, which entrenches car dependency and lower density. Most...

Legally required here too but most roadies don't have one. The police have a blitz on the inner city commuters every now and again so a lot of those riders have them. I have a noisy hub on the roadie...

I use a small rare earth magnet which fits over the crank key hole. Couple of dollars; no sticky, definitely no zip tie!

Very frustrating when stuff like this happens. Maybe the valve hasn't seated properly? With the tube deflated (but installed), push it firmly into the tyre, so that you can feel it touch the tyre...

Does he have a sense of humour? ;)
