I think you’ll find that one
I think you’ll find that one is a parking violation – you’re only allowed to stay parked for two hours there (and no return with 24 hours).
The cancer survival rate in the UK is the worst in the EU. Food for thought.That may be, but this forum topic is pure spam.
Notice how they spelled her name wrongly – it should be Evangelia.

Was she wearing a helmet and hi-viz?
BEWARE! I bought a pair of these and they cut off circulation to my fingers so completely that they all fell off. Now I can’t operate the brakes and gears on my bike anymore.But you need fingers for those bells.
I use a different appendage for that (must be why it’s called a bell-end, although I’ve heard of friends asking to use my dictaphone as well).
Don’t buy this!
Don’t buy this!
I bought one and thought I’d try it out. Just one little ring on the bell and all the windows in my house shattered. This wouldn’t have been too bad, except that I was hosting the annual hemophiliac convention in my conservatory.
Does anyone have some spare paper towels?

Waxes are out of date now to be honest for protection. Ceramic sealants are the best options. Apply once and it will last for 2-5 years. Creates a deep wet look and water will bead off like a wax but it lasts for years.I’m intrigued. Can you point me towards such a product?
Why would you go for a ride – any ride – without the means of removing your wheels and replacing the inner tubes in the event of the puncture fairy looking your way?Lack of experience would be the main reason. I’d like to think that I’d stop and donate an inner tube, especially to someone inexperienced enough to not know the benefit of preparedness.

I use sub-10£ ebayish single XML-T6 led torch that takes a single 18650 battery. It indeed has a rather too wide beam but if you give a good angle to the ground only the people who have just had a bad haircut day will complain. There are now some nice new models with 2 leds and 18650 batteries that are dedicated bicycle lights at sub 20£ prices. The various german stvzo lights may have nice beams (I assume, I haven’t tested them) but at ~70£ they cost the 1/4 of the price of a decent commuter bicycle, or like paying 3000£ to your new Ford Fiesta just to add front lights, which seems at least absurd to me.I’m a fan of those 18650 based torches as well. They’re really good for unlit roads at night, but are over-powered for cities unless they’re aimed towards the ground. You can get a cheap usb-based charger for 18650 batteries and along with a spare battery or two, makes it very easy to recharge them.
If you don’t need a long run-time, then the 16340/CR123 based torches are similarly good and half the size.
pedestrians have right of way once they have already begun to cross a road...on a side road, where the driver has not yet turned in to it.
Don’t think you can simply step out onto any road and claim ‘right of way’
I haven’t been able to find the relevant law, so I don’t know if it only applies to side roads or not. The Highway Code (which isn’t really law) gives recommendations to pedestrians but doesn’t have any ‘MUST’ orders and even rule 170 (“watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way”) is only a recommendation.
I thought that pedestrians
I thought that pedestrians have ultimate right of way everywhere, but after a quick search, can’t find anything to back that up. The closest I could find is that pedestrians have right of way once they have already begun to cross a road.

@srchar – now that you’ve got
@srchar – now that you’ve got a rough idea of what to measure, you (or whoever cares enough about this) should measure some different bikes and see if the numbers line up with peoples’ opinions of zing-iness. If there’s decent correlation between what’s measured and what people perceive as ‘zingy’, then you’ve discovered the formula for ‘zing’. However, if your numbers don’t match up with what people are describing, then you’re back to square one.
I’ve got a simple test for
I’ve got a simple test for these nebulous properties – can you measure it? And by measure, I mean get a number (not try out a couple of bikes and declare which one is ‘zingier’) that is independent of the person measuring and repeatable.
I don’t think ‘zing’ is measurable and thus is marketing rubbish.
