In my recent survey, I was pleased to see that most cyclists were using lights front and rear, as (according to Riley Geary) 56% of all fatalities on bicycles occur to those riding at night, even though very few cyclists ride after dark. In addition, in other surveys, those doing a lot of night riding tend to have fewer accidents than those who do little. Therefore, a disproportional share of these nighttime fatalities must be with those not properly equipped. In every town where I have lived, I see bike riders out late at night without even a reflector.
David Hanson pointed out that the bike in the photo was not really suitable for commuting (it had off-road tires and shocks, no fenders or lights, and seemed to be of poor quality as well). Later, he commented about the seat being in the wrong position (pointing down and perhaps crooked) and very low. He felt the reporter's experiment was "designed to fail" and felt it fit within our desire for instant gratification. Much more sensible would be for the person would begin by learning something about commuting routes and suitable equipment and then to gradually adapt to bike travel.

The most frustrating moment in repairing a tube by the side of the road is losing sight of the leak. It's easy to see a leak when the tube is blown up and ducked under water. It's very difficult to mark the tube and even more difficult finding that tiny hole after the tube is dried and deflated. The other day, when dealing with such a problem, I reached into my pocket, looking for a pen, when I found a toothpick instead. I stuck the toothpick into the hole, and voila, losing sight of the hole was now impossible. From now on, I am going to carry a toothpick in my patch kit. The toothpick is also handy for puncturing the tube of glue. |
