Isn't it called DNA?
EDIT: DAMN my slow typing!
Since everyone has DNA, why bother with car license plates and passports.
I feel like such a gosh darned mental pigmy compared to you lot.0 -

Less of your lip, young man. In my day, we'd have given your sort a clip around the ear.
Re training - I've just signed up today to a 2 hour session with Cycle Training for later this month. Someone else on here linked to it. Many of the London boroughs subsidise it so it is only costing me £8. I can't see there is a downside - at worst it will be a 2 hour ride on my bike; at best, I could pick up a couple of tips about bad habits I've got and those tips could make me a lot safer rider.
I just hope they're okay with me turning up on a Penny Farthing.Never be tempted to race against a Barclays Cycle Hire bike. If you do, there are only two outcomes. Of these, by far the better is that you now have the scalp of a Boris Bike.0 -

I can still remember most of it as I've used a lot of it on a daily basis for most of the intervening 25 years . I did take a few slack years (just after I got my first decent car) but by then it was all fairly ingrained. I think the only thing I don't use is the signal for braking/slowing down. Not terribly practical/useful most of the time although I have mused on getting some switches hooked up to the brake levers to give me a brake light.

Honestly I'm glad this thread's beyond the serious stage now.
Two dead was more than enough for one week.
