    a) securing your bike

    Getting the right tyres apparently, it’s just so confusing and everyone’s got a fucking opinion.

    Make the most of it Ian! I look back to my thirties now with a sad longing. I was as fit as I have ever been and all things were possible in my mind. Now in my mid-fifties and I really have to fight to keep to a fitness level I am happy with. A lot of that is unrealistic expectations, based on not actually fully recognising I have aged.

    The thing that upsets me the most is my drop in FTP; this has little to do with age, I just let it slip away, so I am now on a mission to get somewhere near where I was, but the increased need for recovery time means it’s not a quick process.

    Hardest part for me is being able to ride as often as I want, as fast as I want, and as far as I want, without getting bloody injured!

    If you must cycle on the sofa, try rolling off it at the front – where it’s lower – rather than bumping over the arms or trying to climb over the back.

    Securing your bike when out and about.

    Training ride isn’t a problem as it’s never left unattended, but popping into town and there’s a clear lack of available points to safely lock it too.

    Home maintenance. You often need three hands, to hold a component in place, pull a cable taut and do up a hex bolt. And small components have a tendancy to be attracted to the centre of the Earth initially, but then change their mind and find the bottom of the sofa more attractive.

    I suspect these answers are not helping the original poster and his/her school chums come up with a suitable idea for their GCSE Design & Technology (DT) project 

    You could try inventing indicators for bikes – nobody has come with that idea before!
