    Probably a pannier strap. I torn the stitching on one strap years ago going through the middle of 2 stationary lanes. Caught it on a bit of a fire engine!

    Pilot comments are very transparent though. They are encouraged to report issues. They built a whole new culture on reporting errors with out stigma.
    In fact they were so successful, hospitals have used pilots in an attempt to change surgical procedures and prevent horrible errors.
    There was a superb 30 minute programme on radio 4 a few years ago about it.

    I find it instructive and you

    I find it instructive and you get to think about different scenarios and what/if there was anything you could have done. ie defensive cycling/roadcraft (not the same as victim blaming).

    It’s good that different opinions are given and in a few cases, you can point out errors and poor judgement by the cyclist.

    I don’t find it puts me off, as I know these incidents are infrequent but it shows how you should not be complacent.

    Although it isn’t clear whose car is in the river.

    “The vehicle was fully submerged and was recovered this morning during low tide” a bit scary.

    Have you changed your username or am I needing a new prescription?

    I don’t see how you can drop politics when a few of the articles are about political decisions on cycling. But I’d agree there can be too many polical points made.

    But when the whole MO is to provoke, you can’t have a proper discussion because having a discussion is not the objective.

    Not sure that is accurate

    Not sure that is accurate enough. Plenty of patronising comments and soctwati went after mungecrundle in a rather distasteful way.

    Thanks to Mr Patrono (hope I got that spelling right) I don’t have to read their comments.

    You are right about avoiding an echo chamber.

    Warm tyres, lube – washingup

    Warm tyres, lube – washingup liquid/ talc, heavy duty plastic lever eg lezyne.

    IF you have got it apart from the last inch, then I would just use a lever.

    I find it harder to get that far ! but as HP says, getting in the middle and pushing around the cirucmference with opposing hands gets it on slowly.
