SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Nerdy light question

Does anyone have any experience of Serfas lights? Have come across a 'true' 1500 lumen light at a relatively good price - any views (hopefully quite good views with the aid of 1500 lumens)

Re: Nerdy light question

I think this is what Ade has - also Paul l has one for commuting. Ade really likes it but he only uses it for commuting. It charges from USB which is handy.
Suspect ades is a lower output than the one you are talking about. (just checked his is only 150 lumen!)

Re: Nerdy light question

Seems that, as you cycle through light intensity settings, you also hit "off"! I'd say that's a deal breaker for me. I'd like to be able to adjust intensity without being blind for a while.

Re: Nerdy light question

I thought your boiler service invoices were always very large!
