Bicycle repair always seems so much more summery in French (though I need closed captions switched on to understand fully)

I went and got cleat covers myself, as I would be like yourself. Easier to walk in with the covers. Of course I forget them or am just not arsed most of the time.

They have a rep for not lasting as long as others, cleat covers a worthwhile investment, this said how long cleats last seems to be a made up number when i compare mine to reports online.

Yikes. I do absolutely no walking as I rarely stop while out. I'll swap them over. That's a good idea cheers

Do you use Cleat Covers?

I find they make a big difference even when walking to the garage.

Put them in the back pocket and will use them whenever I dismount.

Dublin Fire Brigade advise cyclists to always wear a helmet.
I don't know, how this crash would have been avoided, by the wearing of a helmet, but I'm sure, they know best.

Ye - I was moaning about this on another thread - I got knocked off by a last minute left turner - the amount of people that have said since - you should have been wearing a helmet is infuriating.. where.. on my fecked up ankle? or round my shoulder? as they hurt the most!

Do you do much walking around in them? I've no idea how long I get but I'd estimate around 4-5k and that's with some walking at coffee stops etc.

Swap them over if the right is still clicking in to even wear.

I've barely done about 1000 km and the right one needs replacing. I only click in and out with the right foot so it makes sense that one would wear first.

it was actually the use of 'of' instead of 'have' which was my immediate beef...

Bring cars in it and everything else goes out window, a plane, train etc ends up killing someone and we have a mass investigation, car kills someone and we just accept it as a terrible thing but ah sure.

In this case a good comment was the one, it was irrelevant what the cyclist did or didn't do, the car hit the cyclist and that shouldn't happen, it sickens me that cars always have priority over any other road user.

Ordered the Smart Lunar; there was a cheaper one with two half-watts, but went for the one recommended; added in some Sealskinz all-season gloves.

Add another 3 quid or so of order and you should get free delivery from Amazon (never pay them for delivery myself - always make sure my orders are over £20, and will add some consumables if necessary to get me there) - you just need to ensure it's sold or fulfilled by Amazon - you don't need to join Amazon Prime

It may need to be tilted up a bit - you could be gradually sliding forward.

Moved it back a little, which on first try feels a bit better. Might be partly to do with taking the eight saddle covers off, of course.

By the way, has anyone seen any YouTube videos on fixing bikes by people with 'RP' type accents? Having found a French-language one on changing a chain fairly easy to follow, I'd like to offer one to my language partner, but so far have found only Strine, Deep South and Cockney instructionals.

Cheaper to use parcel motel?

Not really. £4 delivery fee from Amazon then €4.50 from Parcel Motel. They're offering me free delivery with Amazon Prime, but I'm suspicious and too lazy to see what that is or if there's any advantage. Would really prefer to cycle over to a local bike shop if possible.
