Excellent post. I totally agree about road bikes being best, and mountain bikes (esp. with suspension) best being avoided for road stuff. It always makes my day seeing some geezer in trackie bottoms bouncing along. I've got a soft spot for my wee courier as a good work-a-day machine for trundling ab...
Looks like I'm very much in the no-helmet minority here :? . Ach weel, plus ça change. M42, I'd give serious thought to one of these: >Link< . About the best urban bike you can get for less than silly money, imho. (And I'm not even on commission.) As for bike satnav, yes please! I nearly ended up in...
I was digging around in the darker recesses of my computer and found this from a while back. Anybody else ever tried it?

From Out Of Nowhere by Faith No More. Maybe not the most obvious romantic song, but it was one of those first love things. It was 1989 and he was something else
You're quite right about not being able to rely on other road users. I guess I'm just a bit old school about the helmet issue - they weren't common when I started and I've never worn one yet. I sometimes think I should get one, but then argue myself against the idea again (for reasons that are maybe...
