I've just checked, you can't set a date on a bike. You have to add the bike to rides by editing each one individually, or using the bulk update tool I've linked to above.
How do you track changes to your bike?

- Start date

yep - see what you mean. Mind you you have just reminded me that my tyres were changed whilst on holiday... I have just updated them!

Thanks for everyone's help with this... hopefully this will achieve what I'm aiming for, a vaguely accurate record of changes to the bike.
Did you read the thread?
Just a tad annoying when it's been explained already in the thread and then it gets posted again as they didn't read it.Don't be cheeky to SatNav!

I don't bother. Just replace kit when worn on the commuter. Lots of factors an change this.

Some of us are dyslexic and luckily some of the thread starters around here know this. If I think I have written has and it is actually had no amount of proofreading in the same day is going to get my mind to see the word had in the wrong place. I may see it a day or two later, but not in the same day.or indeed didn't proof read before posting.

As for stating the same again, surely someone else saying the same thing simply confirms others use that option and that it does work. Or perhaps 'voting' for the same answer is no longer allowed? I must have missed that memorandum. Perhaps you can please point it out to me? See even I can be rude as well!
Leaving that aside, I'm pretty certain that @summerdays is more than happy to know that more than 1 member of cc uses this option and as a result of it, I also learnt something from @jefmcg & @summerdays and that was helpful. I didn't know that you couldn't set a date for the new bike and out about the little tool pointed out. Plus I was able to vote for the useful feature addition.
And just as a minor point, if people don't start new threads repeatedly asking exactly the same question (winter, what lights, what waterproofed, what tyres..) where would CC be?
Some fair points, I admit.
As far as the dyslexia element, I didn't comment on the way you posted, spelling, grammar, or proof reading. That was someone else.
I just asked if you had read the thread as your reply suggested that nobody else had already suggested or discussed this above. Usually people say +1, I agree, etc. Just annoys me when people don't read the whole thread and post like its new.
Anyway, apologies if this caused you undue stress, especially the dyslexia element. I have some experience of similar challenges. It's not what I said or thought, but apologies nonetheless.

I had read it, I just loath the +1 approach and felt another example was useful, perhaps it wasn't. I was also posting after a stressful 1½hrs of moderating which probably didn't help matters much! Thanks for understanding.Some fair points, I admit.

Got to CC this morning to find the following message unsent
I think when you are criticising someone else's posting in twenty words, you have a duty to make sure what you write makes sense.

To my horror, I also saw this:
**I know this has been said before, but why did they choose such a hard-to-spell word to describe dyslexia?
You missed the subject in the second independent clause "gets posted again as didn't read it."

To my horror, I also saw this:
OMG, it wasn't directed at you! We all make typos. I bet I have in this short posting, and when I re-read mine I always find the wrong tense of verbs and homonyms (and worse, near homonyms), and I don't suffer from dyslexia**. I wouldn't criticise anyone for that normally, but when someone is telling someone off because they don't think they should have posted, then I think they are are fair game.

Exactly! You might want to consider using comma's more too..Got to CC this morning to find the following message unsent

As you say, we can all point fingers. You will have, no doubt, already read the replies and noted that this is now resolved.
