    Y. Court has already ruled, so this should be a criminal investigation of PO, y? The inquiry comes after, not before, so as not to *prejudice the outcome*. Smells to high heaven. :-( Hang on, this isn't on topic! :)

    Bike lock Idea

    Some lose their keys and can't cut lock off / bike not worth it. Some leave it there to warn other cyclists of the risk! Who would lock their bike there and leave it after seeing a frame dangling from the railing? Better an electric folder one can take in with you. :)

    Reduced range in the cold

    Returned from run into town with my petite passenger showing only 2 bars left out of 5, when it's usually 3 left. Dropping 1 gear more on inclines (spinning in 1st is tiring, but hills are hills, phew!). Full assist, -2degC ("feels like -5"). Are the 5 bars an accurate 20% each or an...

    5 separate punctures on a 14 mile journey home

    Sorry if stating the obvious, but.. Look for shards of broken glass and other sharps hiding *under* the tread (small entry holes/slits). Glass and such can break up and migrate further in to cause delayed punctures! :-(
