Very sad case here, two three
Very sad case here, two three-year-old boys playing inside a barn were killed.
Here’s a new tire pressure
Here’s a new tire pressure calculator based on the experiments Jan Heine has done on real roads.
Here’s an article on the science behind it.
This is a problem? I guess
This is a problem? I guess try adjusting the H limit screw on the front derailleur if it is touching the chain in big-big. Make sure it can’t touch the right crank, though.
Or just don’t use big-big. Or don’t back-pedal if you do.
Hopefully soon.

(Unfortunately now got to find someone who ships to UK, neither of those will!)If you’re really in a bind, you can Paypal me and I’ll ship to the UK for my actual cost. I’m in the US and have ordered from Modern Bike before a couple of times. They’re under 300 miles from me (practically next door, here.)
Then a search for ebikemotion
Then a search for ebikemotion x35 tool found a little closer to the UK.

Not sure why it says the manufacturer is Orbea, though.
I Googled “mahle x35 tools”.

Clipless is the only way to go. You could learn with SPD pedals. The SH-56 cleats on a nice set of SPD pedals with the retention dialed down are noob friendly and will unclip in a panic.Nobody needs clipless to go to the shops or work. I somehow manage over 6000 miles a year, including some spirited group rides, and don’t own a single clipless pedal.
Maybe for that last 1% if I was racing, which I’m not.
I don’t bother with any sort
I don’t bother with any sort of cycling shorts or pad for a 45 minute ride. Just do it in some comfortable clothing.
The frustration isn’t really so much the actions of the pedestrians. It’s the having to use a shared path and deal those actions. The actions just happen to be the point at which that frustration materialises.Exactly. On a pavement, in a hallway, or in the middle of the park, a person walking can (not) do all those things in perfect safety. But on a shared path, they suddenly need to be vigilant so that a cyclist doesn’t collide with them.
Nothing compared to this
Nothing compared to this colonial ingenuity.
I too have been very mildly
I too have been very mildly frustrated by people doing other than what I expect on a shared path. As an annoyance, it’s right up there with my beer being 2 °C too warm or cold, or having to wait ten seconds to enter the pub as a party of five is coming out the door.
Apparently the reporters
Apparently the reporters couldn’t be bothered to get a photo.

I’d recommend something
I’d recommend something designed for mountain biking, rather than for football.
I find the Strava Global
I find the Strava Global Heatmap useful to see where other cyclists are riding. I’ve discovered some great quiet roads using it.
