Who cares, unless you're going to wear even shorter shorts. And if they're that close they can tell, they're either family, well dodgy, or both. And no, I don't think it does. It's normal shorts /trousers that wear my leg hair away because the material doesn't move with the skin, it just rubs...

:D

Mine (cheap Shimano mechanical discs on an Orbea Gain) don't fade until the pads are mostly worn out, at which point they slowly become useless. However, they do need a lot more adjustment than rim brakes. I probably change the cable adjusters roughly every 100-150 miles, the static pad maybe...

Agreed they seem rather rare - I checked several places that sell Fazua spares. eBay has one of the new batteries - I'm not sure which type you need, but this is the seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403446629535 http://www.tomsbikeshed.co.uk/ He may have other variants in stock. The obvious...

10. Other cyclists that can't steer.

There are two levels of law-breaking in the Highway Code: - 'MUST/MUST NOT' in the Highway Code means you must obey the referenced law. That 'MUST/MUST NOT' is black & white. - 'should/should not' means a more general driving law may be applied such as that of 'driving without due care and...

Agreed. StationaryWhiteVanMan also be the guy in high-vis in the bus stop(?), possibly doing some maintenance there. That doesn't make the parking OK, but it would explain it. It's like meeting an Openreach van parked half on / half off the road whilst they're having a digging/cabling session...

It does - 19mph, dropping to 16mph, then 4mph:

A lot of cars have cameras front & rear. Why not bicycles? They're no more provocative in a car. Both cars & the cyclist are protecting themselves in the event of an incident. As to the original Daily Mail video: - the van driver is going at a reasonable speed ('20MPH' is on the road and he's...

Never bypass a fuse permanently. They spent a little extra money putting in it there. If they could have avoided it, they would have! Is there a way to remove the original fuse and put a replacement one in, but in a more convenient place? Then your weak connection point is fixed, and you've...

From the Halfords website: Engineered with a thicker EPS* core that's able to absorb more energy in an accident. Meets the european NTA standard [NTA 8776 icon on website] for speed pedelecs The Standards intro page is missing, but this looks like a partial copy...

It's the expanded polystyrene inner that's going to save you (and potentially the MIPS from any twisting forces). What injures you is the rapid deceleration/rapid twisting of your brain - your skull hitting the soft polystyrene means it decelerates slower than hitting a road/vehicle...

I'd expect the system to work on geolocating of your vehicle, and actively checking you are travelling along a known motorway (and have been for the past x minutes). That's pretty easy to do. However, it's just one more step towards Big Brother which doesn't fill me with confidence for people's...

At a slight tangent: https://www.nms.ac.uk/explore-our-collections/stories/science-and-technology/made-in-scotland-changing-the-world/scottish-science-innovations/graeme-obrees-old-faithful-bicycle/ 'He used washing machine bearings when standard bike bearings were unsuitable...' Think how...

Is that it? I think the pro-Brexit Sun readers* and Rees-Mogg have laid bare the vast breadth of their own stupidity and small-mindedness. Where's the big picture? The real benefits? Let's hear them. * (the source of the suggestions I believe)

Or an electric equivalent to a Super Cub if you have somewhere to charge a motorbike.

I would expect the UK use and fatalities to go in step as you've identified, unless there is a massive increase in cycle use, where cyclists become so common that many car drivers are cyclists themselves, like in the Netherlands*. That would be nice, but unlikely unless petrol becomes even more...

Top job, and helps fill in a bit of a blank area. Thanks flecc.

This is what I was aiming for. Does that help? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Dasset+Rd,+Farnborough,+Banbury/@52.1435875,-1.3741856,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x48772f83374eece7:0x5a01caded30814c0!8m2!3d52.1435875!4d-1.3719916

Ah that is v close - but my typo - Dasset Road CV47 with a single 't' is closer, but hey, both are lovely!
