Why are you being so
Why are you being so amateurish about the collision ?
If it was a car crash you’d take it to the repairers – not let a mate have a look. The insurers will want a 3rd party report surely ?
And what about your injuries. Have you seen a doctor ? Photographed everything ? Documented torn clothing ?
It’s your bike – you can take kit off it if you want to – but you want to be very sure that the frame isn’t going to snap on you.
We’ve all been those cyclists
We’ve all been those cyclists haven’t we – car overtakes bikes on their side and comes head on to us.
Whether it’s poor sight or poor driving I don’t know – but its there for the grace of god goes us. Poor Denisa. No fault of her own. Tragic.

And this is worth noting from the South Cheshire Police – “Be aware that ALL offences will be dealt with that are shown in any footage supplied. It is your responsibility as a driver to uphold the law.”
So if you tried to report a driver for a close pass and your camera showed you going through a red light then you’d get fined too. Which is fair enough.
Are you young ?

I wouldn’t worry about it – do you have any intent to become a professional ?
Whilst moving ? No.

I like my seesense. You
I like my seesense. You probably can’t appreciate it unless you are behind it and watching the light change.It’s also so bright that you don’t need it straight on. It would work on a seat stay for example.
At least you can polish your
At least you can polish your bikes or maybe ride them. What do you do with expensive watches ?Bells do have the advantage that people know what they are. Well decent ones anyway, not the single ring pingers.I refuse to accept that a bell cannot be mounted. They fit bars or the seat post, which is where mine is. . As you should be slowing when approaching a pedestrian or slower cyclist or what ever control isn’t an issue. If it is then the riding speed should be slower still.
My Brompton has a single ring pinger. I’m sure people recognise it as a bike bell.
Do you really have a bell on the seatpost ?? That sounds dangerous.
If you’re on a shared use path then you have to accept that you can’t ride fast. Walkers have as much right as you do and you’d be foolish to speed past any kind of dog. I’m always slower and covering the brakes.
Just a bit of understanding from everyone makes for a much more pleasant day I find.
No.
No.I prefer to talk to people –
I prefer to talk to people – you can alter your volume and tone. . Easier and I’ve both hands covering the brakes.Anyone who’s skidding on gravel isn’t going to use a bell. Sensible riders don’t skid. Our tyres are too valuable.
Use it and then get the right
Use it and then get the right size tube when you replace it. It’ll be fine.I use some cheaper MTB shoes
I use some cheaper MTB shoes in winter. Theres less mesh to begin with,and normally they have a cheap PX overshoe over the too.
