    the lights I bought for my daughter were so good I went back to get a set for myself. Top buys so far; neoprene gloves, merino hat & buff, merino base layers

    Agreed ++. You omitted the winter cycling ‘tights’ with seat pad which has just performed so well for me on a 4 days camping trip finishing the Pennine Bridleway- Aldi wool socks and waterproof socks as well!

    No matter what the rules, a cyclist should still choose to be overtaken by an autonomous vehicle, even if controlled by a Raspberry Pi, over a standard UK BMW or Audi driver. The Pi is going to put a lot more thought and consideration for others into the manoeuvre.

    Well, I was originally responding to the original claim that it had lasted only 2 months at the most, but 14 months is still a poor longevity so my statement still stands!

    a BMW should have alerted my spidey senses

    Yes, at any time there’s a nutter driver in a BMW hammering through red lights at 50mph near YOU! BMW PJ14 LBE crossed the stop line over 1.5 seconds after the lights turned red. The first picture, for those who have difficulty with these things, is when they turned red

    what is the negative impact of telling people where you’re going?
    This is rather like conversing with people who say ‘what can be wrong with screening for cancer of the (X)?’ If they ask the question, they’re not likely to understand the answer.

    This is a very good

    This is a very good description of a complex acetabular fracture, caused as you said by the roughly spherical femoral head being pushed straight through the hip joint socket. At my age I would have expected this to happen to me as I went straight down onto right hip, shoulder and right side of helmet- after your description I feel even luckier, especially as I know a fit woman my age who broke her femoral neck falling onto the carpet at home. I didn’t want to push my luck so I returned early from a ride up onto the moors the other day when I saw those early signs of ice on roadside puddles! Good luck with your recovery, and keep using your helmet. Mine suffered the fracture in my place.

    cracked my greater trochanter 2/3 of the way through
    Avulsion of the GT is not the same as what people usually understand as ‘a broken hip’ so the experience may not be broadly applicable. I was lucky to avoid a proper hip fracture on ice just over a year ago, on the same day when a much younger man got the real thing, also on ice. Definitely to be avoided.

    You remind me of the “helmets make you less safe” argument
    This hardly makes sense, as I am one of the outspoken proponents of helmets on here, and never ride without one!
