Maybe we’ve got confused
Maybe we’ve got confused terms here. I consider “inside” to be between the ped and the edge of the road and outside/offside would be between the ped and the middle of the road.

Bib tights for me as they’re
Bib tights for me as they’re more comfortable. I’ve got some leg warmers but have never bothered using them. I tend to regulate my temperature by adding/reducing what I’m wearing on my top rather than my legs and switch from bib-shorts to bib-tights when the temp is consistently lower than 10 degrees.September 10, 2020 at 9:43 pm in reply to: Car crashes into building – please post your Local news stories #963579

The article does mention VOCs which produce a surprising amount of pollution:
The researchers estimated the annual emissions from new paving and roofing in parts of Southern California. They calculate that molecules released from asphalt could lead to between 1000 and 2500 tons of particulate air pollution—compared with just 900 to 1400 tons from gasoline and diesel vehicles. (Both sources pale in comparison to volatile chemical products, such as pesticides, coatings, adhesives, cleaning agents, and personal care products, which together contribute 4500 to 9500 tons of particulate pollution per year.)

Personally, I don’t
Personally, I don’t understand why they don’t just voluntarily give in their license and never drive again. I can relate to not wanting to get hammered by the court, but pleading guilty to careless driving (as dangerous driving is so rarely successfully used) would surely reduce the sentence and so would be a good gambit.
Personally I’ve never learnt to drive, but that’s mainly circumstantial and I’ve never had a compelling reason to put effort into getting a license. However, I suspect that in my younger days I might well have been an aggressive driver if I had bothered, so it’s probably best that I’ve self limited how much carnage I can cause.

Thanks – that’s good to know.
Thanks – that’s good to know. Is that the same in the U.S. which is the main focus of the paper?

Possibly a dodgy cable? Being intermittent suggests minor damage somewhere so maybe get a testing Di2 cable and try connecting the battery to the junction box (might not be easy for internal cables) using that to see if the problem persists.

Indeed. He even apologised for having a go at me when he realised that I’m not his enemy.
