Yes, changing the occupants did the trick:

I think it's the greater wear rate on the small top gear sprocket that makes it the most likely to give this sort of trouble, since it can be more dependent on everything being just right. Throwing some mud and grit into the mix can tip it into criticality. There's a similar situation with the...

If even that of course. The Nissan leaf e-car claims a max of 155 miles, but they also say 90 miles is more typical and admit 60 miles max can happen at adverse times. In practice a driver trying one with normal driving behaviour ran right out of juice at 72 miles, and that was daylight with...

I think it's quite strong, I often experience aggressive driving by BMW drivers when in my car too. .

It's an event insurance requirement. .

A bit disingenuous, no-one stopped such a discussion and three did discuss the subject. Nor could anyone be put off entering since the thread title was "Helmets at Aldi". The thread would have been dead at around those three posts, but instead it's provided 4 pages of discussion at a time when...

Chicken and egg Col, which came first. They cycled without helmets when there were no such facilities and conditions but helmets were available as I posted to Lardo above. Helmets are a huge switch off where cycling is concerned, as Australia proved when they suddenly made helmets compulsory...

Yes they do, but they haven't always and in Denmark that development has largely been very recent and is very incomplete. Even the Dutch say they still have a long way to go in that direction. Helmets have been around much longer than almost all of their cycling facilities, but they've almost...

Of course I don't include you John, that's implicit in my posting that I'm happy for others to wear them. Nor do I pretend they can't save lives, again implicit in my reply to an inquirer that I would wear one for a high risk branch of cycling. The proof of that as said earlier is that I wore...

That's quite an accusation of almost 70% of the Dutch and almost 50% of the Danish populations. Somehow I think they'd object. .

Thank you Lardo, I appreciate the confirmation. .

Rather more accuracy needed here John, wrong on all points. Post 3 wasn't me, it was Roadie Roger including a teasing taunt naming me which I naturally answered in post 5. Then in answer to Croxden I posted again in post 7, explaining my entry to the subject was a tease. So I didn't derail...

I agree Lardo, it would be foolish to believe otherwise since any designed protection lessens a risk. Just for some of us the risk/negatives balance comes down in favour of not wearing. .

For me Lardo it's the sheer inconvenience as well as disliking wearing any hat. I'm a utility cycist like the Dutch, using a bike as all round transport as much as anything, and with no sporting bias. Seventy percent of the Netherlands population cycle for just about all journeys and purposes...

Many hub motors need an 18 mm spanner for their wheel nuts, see this item in my website. .

I don't think they read at all like that, especially as I acknowledged to another inquirer that I would wear a helmet for the likes of mountain biking since the high risks then justified that choice. And I'm entirely happy with that if it were true, but you decided to to on the attack with...

I second the m/c racing, definitely the best and what all forms of motor racing should be. Just man and machine versus road without the faking and corruption of those ideals in such as F1. .

I'll never understand why what I post can be so grossly distorted. At no time have I ever claimed anything like invincibility, what I have posted and very clearly explained is the very low likelihood of a life changing head injury accident. That statement inherently accepts that I could suffer...

You did, but we returned him as defective. .

I sympathise, it must be really annoying how much that strip of water disadvantages you, non-availability, higher carriage changes, delays etc. .
