No thanks...you can keep your mini cars off my bike lanes. I want the scooters (petrol and electric) off as well.

I used to go that way to work. It's nasty and congested. I doubt any changes will make the congestion worse.

Spammers annoy me
Ah, that explains the blank username. Oh well.
think this might have been a spammer who i've subsequently kicked out, there's no username
a clincher has a hooked rim and is for normal tyres + inner tubes (or tubeless).
Tubular rim is for glued-on tubular tyres, which are more expensive than their clincher equivalents.
Clinchers are supplied on virtually every bike on the market so are much more popular. They are a little heavier as they require more material.
IMVHO carbon rims are overhyped and overrated (though that's not to say people shouldn't buy them).
The fantasy cycling one's price will go up (wrong forum dude)
