"I've been on a bus like this when it tried to navigate an impossibly tight roundabout in Dulwich, it was going to hit a stobie pole and needed to reverse - and it 'locked' the engine.  Where passengers p*#d off? No - everyone…"

"Sorry Heather, I don't understand - what is there to complain about in this instance?"

"Waterproof, beathable, cheap - pick 2.  I can vouch for a Sportful jacket from a few seasons ago - foldable like a shell jacket, 100% waterproof, but essentially a piece of plastic - I sweat buckets on the inside. But its incredibly warm, and…"

"I have the same issue every year - it kicks in usually around early April and no matter how much I 'want' to be a winter rider, I'm just not. But I don't mind - a few months off the bike (or only a few rides a week) is nowhere…"

"Agree.  A power meter doesn't tell you you're running low on sleep, water and sugar, and nor should it.  That's the job of your brain, and by extension, your sense of self-awareness. A HRM can point in the general…"

"There is a difference, Clayton - really good explanation here:  http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2009/05/power-vs-hr-monitor/ But you're absolutely right - unless you're doing very specific training, training by HR is great. I still do,…"

"It's an interesting argument you make - because to me, 'a significant decrease in our excessive car use with it being replaced by forms of transport that are altogether more humane and less destructive and dangerous' sounds like the…"

"Huh? How do you define success of failure of sharing? Just this week, I've spent over 8 hours on the road, traversed over 200 kilometres of urban roads, and alongside god knows how many thousand cars. We shared the road quite well - not just in…"
