    Very interested in the pedals and straps if you'd split!

    14 years changes a place (and a person) though - one would hope.

    After that day I am leaning a lot of the body but the bike generally stays perpendicular to ground unless ground is bone dry - not worth the road rash for a leisurely cycle.

    Have had a similar experience at the Priory Lane/Sawyer's Hill roundabout - is there an issue with the Richmond road surfaces? To be fair I wasn't exactly at walking speed and on slicks, but the FG conversion has a low BB so there's only so far I can lean and the tires went out from under me regardless.

    Very well put! And was only a recent realisation so am certainly trying to counteract that tendency. Very interested to know why the statistics tend this way (and statistics do tend to subconsciously predispose behaviour in a particular direction, I think)..

    Is there a general majority of males on 'any other online forum's? Would also be interested to know why!

    Had a random musing that I almost automatically assume most persons on this forum are male. Probably not without cause - average bikes I see being ridden and sold are in the 54-60cm range and I would often see women, female bikes and kit mentioned in the same sentence as 'my partner's' - would you agree there is a large preponderance of male users on the forum and any idea why that might be the case?

    Edit: Am aware a lot of this discussion is necessarily going to involve a degree of generalisation but don't think that should stop the discussion anyway, so general health hazard to be left at the door!

    Would like foot retention with regular footwear for a commuter; anyone have spares kicking around?
