We will be asking the police for details and, together with a study of the injury accident record for this area, we will consider if any interventions could be put in place that would improve road safety, taking into consideration the road environment, traffic volumes and other relevant factors.
“Any decisions to implement further measures will be based on evidence demonstrating that installing such measures will result in improvements.”

With any indexed systems the gear selector cements you in to that number. With cassettes, you can sometimes make changes (because it doesn’t always go that 11s is wider than 10s is wider than 9s, but each chain seems to be narrower than the last) depending on what freehub you have:

Your 5600 series set-up is probably living on borrowed time? I’ve been looking at replacement chainrings for a FC 5700 in silver – I can find the inner 39t ones, but the 50t outers don’t seem to be anywhere.

Are you riding in the gutter, like you tell horse riders to?
We face a common enemy out on
We face a common enemy out on the lanes for sure – that trumps by a country mile any differences (can’t really think of any) we might have. It’s why I find any horse/bike conflict so depressing.
As we all know, bridleways aren’t that commonplace – for my type of riding, and for hacking (walking or trotting your horse) you want a network of OS yellow roads that are passable, but don’t really go anywhere and aren’t a rat run.
No, horse owners generally don’t own whole country estates (one for any drivers tuning in).
Call out when you think you are in hailing distance “bike behind” and wait for the rider to react. Watch the horse – jerky sudden movements are a bad sign, the rider may turn the horse 360 degrees to get it back under control. They can be unpredictable, they may be more used to cars than bikes, and riders’ competence varies. They are a herd animal, of course and are happier with other horses around them. Pass as you would want to be passed, wave, say thanks.
Horse brains remember things on a route and often react to anything “new” as a potential threat that wants to eat them – a drain cover, a wheelie bin, a rainbow crossing.
