Welocme to BR mate,
I totally agree but must warn you about certain topics that are likely to get you involved in a long winded exchange of pompous viewpoints from some of the more argumentative members of the various forums here who rather like the sound of their own voice and obviously have nothing better to do than chastise people for their "uninformed" points of view.
1. Mandatory helmet wearing (very hot potato)
2. Wearing headphones whilst riding on the road
3. Whether or not some pro cyclist has ever done any drugs
4. Red Light Jumping
5. Whether or not you could ever get a date with Lost In Thought
Good luckI wish I was Kenny "F@#king" Powers0 -
ok - will try not to tread on any toes or upset any of the more pompous posters
i'll slap my own wrist and remember to wear my ipod tomorrow morning0 -
Just so you know where I stand
1: I wear one, but it shouldn't be mandatory
2: Stupid thing to do
3: Don't really care, but I hope the Brits are clean
4: Don't usually do it, but if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it...
5: Wrong question. Could she get a date with me?FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees
I'm hungry. I'm always hungry!0 -
Didn't mean to offend, but this topic has been done to death and was being discussed last week IIRC.

Sorry please forgive my non inclusion of Hybrids but I am a lowly mountain biker and do not ride on the road thus do not understand the various types of bike currently ridden by commuters. I sadly commute by train as I enjoy stopping off at the various badly lit smelly needle fests they call toilets at train stations these days for my daily dose of cottaging.I wish I was Kenny "F@#king" Powers0

.....but with or without a helmet on?????
I do have a helmet, but it has no protective value and has a ramming spike on the front for any pedestrians unfortunate enough to be in my way.
Also, built in headphones.FCN - 10

I've just broken my Sennheiser CX500 headphones. Can anyone recommend any replacements which are a bit more durable (for use on a computer or mp3 player)?Steve C0

Can someone please figure out how to do cochlear implants that I can plug into my MP3? The wind noise from my helmet and the headphones really doesn't do John Lee Hooker any justice on my commute.0

I think I have diagnosed the problem, could it be that no musical playing device can ever do justice to John Lee Hooker because he is a legend and his sounds can only be heard as they are supposed to be when tiny angels are angels are carressing your epithelium?I wish I was Kenny "F@#king" Powers0 -
If you ride anything decent in a 58cm size, tell your family to sell it cheap on e-bay after the inevitable, then I'll send you a pair (sic) of head phones :-)0
