The judge in this case had a different opinion. https://www.stephensons.co.uk/site/news_and_events/uptodatenews/cyclist-sentenced-over-death-of-pedestrian

Oops ... 🫢

Brakes?

Chris. Have you considered using (2) to seat a tubeless tyre? Could be useful if you could get all, or most, of the air into the valve stem...

You can use (1) to seat a tubeless tyre. Just take the core out and hold the nozzle against the valve stem. When it "pops" put your finger over the stem and quickly fit the core, then pump to required pressure with a proper adaptor.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, try doing a 180 turn and head back the way you came. Hopefully the aggressor will break off at this stage rather than doing a 180 to follow you in the wrong direction. If they don't you should still get a head start to get clear. Better to avoid the situation in the 1st place.

It depends on how they have been stored: If you riding off road, you might get away with those for a while.

One thing to beware of is using a modern car synthetic oil in a bike with a wet plate clutch. These oils have low friction additives which can upset a wet plate clutch.

Hmm. Maybe give them a 5 star review. But in the text state you are only giving them 5 stars so that the review does not get taken down, that you do not recommend the product and that you would not purchase it again ...

It comes down to, do you want to: go fast on a slow bike go slow on a fast bike or dream of going fast on a fast bike (occasionally) These days I only get to ride occasionally, on a slowish bike, but it still brings a smile to my face.

No saddle bags reduce aerodynamic drag by reducing the turbulent wake behind the riders backside. They help you go faster, like a MotorGP bike. As a side effect, they provide UV protection for your spare tube so when the day comes and you finally need it, you don't find it perished and punctured.

I use a fanny bag to carry the phone, food and other stuff that does not go into the saddle bag.🤫

I can confess to using saddle bags. I even have one that looks the same as the OP's. I have worn out a number of saddle bags and even a seat post where the bag touches the bike, but never had an issue with my legs rubbing on a saddle bag. Ivan I would suggest: Get you saddle adjusted properly. Ideally with a bike fit, or at least with advice from a bike shop or experienced cyclist. Once you are happy with the saddle position, don't mess with it. Then make a plan to get the saddle bag clear of your legs. I am not too sure how but usually it is not a problem. But if it is for you on your bike, try another saddle bag. Regarding saddle bags, I have one on each bike. The contents set up for each specific bike. Spare tube (correct size, valve type etc), puncture kit (tubeless on the MTB, conventional for the tubed bike), chain master link (correct for chain type), valve adaptor for presta valves, core removal tool for shrader ones, then tyre levers, some cable ties, duct tape etc. I carry phone, food, multi-tool, mini pump etc on me as these move from bike to bike.

Western Cape Law Enforcement does not have the powers, nor the budget, to investigate or arrest. There is only so much the Western Cape can do without a functional national Police Force. I am not sure if there is much point in shouting at Allan Winde, the solution to the problem lies with central government.

If you keeping the Harley, you have a bike for highway trips and 2 up occasions, It might be worth looking for something smaller and younger for #2. Anything from a nearly new Hero to a 650 thumper would be traffic friendly for city use and less stressful when you go off road. Remember that not all bikes were engineered to last 20 years and you should keep some budget for riding gear, boots, helmet, goggles etc.
