Cycling kit from the past you used to use

[Deleted member 1258]

I still have both a dumbell and a flat spanner in one of my tool boxes. I am also still using a cycle cape, keep it in my workbag for wet rides home, could pitch it at the side of the road as a tent if needed.

More importantly, he has a bike with no Allen Key bolts. It must be his Raleigh Chopper commuter.

I wish!

Also does anyone remember the original solid expanded polystyrene helmets, complete with lycra fashion cover?

Do you mean these?

I can't really make those out but maybe. I'm thinking of the "tuff-top" that looked like half a massive white egg that I wore for my cycling proficiency test
