If you want to stay on the pavement it is a very tight turn.

Enjoy the ride. If you are going to be "that guy" then I can retire from the post.

Amazing achievement, although it is a long way to go to get a beer.

No use to me, I made myself a friction shifter and I have a single chainwheel. I can see the use for serious Larry type people, who want to maintain the exact optimum cadence all the time. Does it suddenly shift when you are pushing hard, and crash the gears? That could make you fall off...

And in me. don't be silly. Compared with Mr Perez, I can hardly move my bicycle, but I do not lean forward when climbing. The only time I lean forward is when I am going really slowly in the pedestrian places or in a traffic jam, when I need to balance. Pick something heavy up from the...

My number is 9. I assumed my Silvio is a tourer. It has mudguards. If I had a Vendetta I would be a hairy-legged roadie. I assumed my heel-clips made from toe-clips are toe-clips.

Been there, done that on a dirty upright tourer, then on a dirty Grasshopper. Now - am there, do that on a dirty hacked Silvio, and still I am a slave to The Game. Never done a proper race, never done any pace-line training, have not a clue about this Strava thing, but when I get passed it...

I have an Abus fold-up lock which I put through the front wheel and round the boom and the bike rack. The back wheel has a hub dynamo which is not quick-release. Locks are a nuisance.

Everybody is wobbly under 3mph. This is close to the fundamental limit of cycling. If you need a bit of resistance, try holding your brakes slightly on.

Convenience you say? A trike is too wide to be convenient.

The Hy-rd on my Silvio do not feel as nice as the Magura on my Grasshopper. The pads on the Silvio seem to wear fast.

Motor! He said motor! That's it. You have finally given the UCI a reason to arrest you. You are condemned to riding an incorrectly assembled Chinese MTB until you apologise.

I never chucked it, but when I first got it I used to get a bit annoyed. It was the wheel-spins that upset me. I used to tell it I was getting rid of it. I told it I regretted getting it and wished I was on the Grasshopper. I said Tolhurst was obviously a con-artist selling junk he made in...

I want to ride at the "I can talk to you" pace. I think in my case it is 19mph. That is the "I can talk to Larry on a mobile phone" pace.

I have been through the "road bars versus mountain bars" palaver. The images on their website show the gizmo attached to road bars. It would be really easy for them to design different clamps. Do you have to buy gizmos for both derailleurs? I have a single chainwheel. I would like to have a...

Condolences. You are trying to find stuff out. I hope you can improve the chances next time.

Terrible for the family. My condolences too. I crashed my Grasshopper and broke my arm. Not my coconut.

It was that "Bang - Ssss" that wasted your energy in the last few miles. The only way to slow down the Hendersonville Hurricane is to throw nails on the track. Those DF riders will stop at nothing.

Use your Cruzbike to go to work. Use it to go shopping. Ride it in the park, among children, their over-protective parents, mad dogs, their mad owners, and on paths that are being gradually levered up by tree roots. These places are where you learn to go slowly.

I am about to be 53, but Oslund, Lawrence of Hendersonville is so much more precipitous than I am. Stopping, going the wrong way, he laughs in the face of all that, and shows his rear-light to all those who challenge him!
