    Bike storage and roommate life

    I have to agree with that. Is it a 55 sq meter flat or 500 sq meters? Still, this seems like something those two ought to be able to figure out on their own without international intervention. £60 a year is about a dollar a day sorry, it's less than $7 a month, so 25¢ a day, USD, which seems...

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    I'm not shocked but it seems like a feature of very peripheral utility, the target market likely pre-adolescent boys. But, sure, as I said earlier, better to have it and not need it, I suppose. TT

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    SOS is a palindrome as well as an ambigram (reads the same upside-down.) I'm still very skeptical that any bike headlights flash SOS. Seriously, why would they? I would welcome a link to a headlight claiming to do so. The Giant Recon HL 200 mentioned above does not make such a claim...

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    Black bears have a top speed of over 30 mph, so Class 4 recommended? TT

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    I guess better to have an SOS option and not need it... but when would anyone be likely to use it? When being chased by a bear?? After being run over by a truck?? And how many people know Morse code anyway? Just curious, because a Morse code flashing bike headlight seems to me like a silly...

    It is not Morse code for SOS. TT

    I found this about 25 years ago in the roadway of an old bridge that was later blown up and replaced. I haven't weighed it, but it's about 12 pounds. It's well established as a go-to solution for a lot of things. It makes square pegs go in round holes! TT

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    American black bears are omnivores. Google it. Attacks on humans are rare but they absolutely do happen. People have died. Google it. Feeding bears in the Smoky Mountains and many other places can put you in jail. Google it. TT

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    That is so wrong. You're an idiot and in a lot of places a criminal. I'll try to remember that next time i'm biking on an ice floe. TT

    What's your opinion on the "Idaho Stop" law?

    I might not yell at you, but if it were me wanting to cross the road I'd probably wait to see if you were going to stop before stepping out in front of you. Now, in a parking lot, where cars are doing <4 mph, I'd go ahead. Bottom line though, people in cars, on foot, or on bikes, aren't always...

    More Rad lawsuit fallout? (good for the consumer)

    Giving everyone hydraulic brakes at best just kicks the responsibility can down the road. Hydraulic brakes do need to be understood and will need maintenance at some point. And even if people didn't need to worry about brakes, there are dozens of other gotchyas, not all of which can be...

    What's your opinion on the "Idaho Stop" law?

    I remember the time before "right turn on red after stop (except in California . It was subject to the same kind of skepticism as this. This sounds like a good idea to me. If things go south the law could be repealed. Not that cops, at least around here, enforce anything anymore anyway, but...

    Man, I'm tempted to get one of those! I bought a 120v model about 6 months ago, for more money, that I've used once so far. I'm a big fan of having tools I don't need, so I may have to get one of these anyway. TT

    New Old Girl

    Welcome to the fourm. Looks like a great bike. It can be really hard to find the right saddle. You might try some place like REI where you know they'll let you return one if you don't like it. Either that or develop an iron butt. TT
