Top Tips a la Viz!

[grellboy]

Cyclists!
1) Fed up with being stuck with that one hex bolt that just won't come out of the cleats of your road shoe? Simply remove the other two, get a hammer, bash the cleat on the side in an anti clockwise direction and voila! The bolt will magically start to turn and you can use the cleat itself as a handle, simply rotating it and using this motion to spin the bolt out.

2) Deter car drivers from using your favourite road. Simply get in your car at night, turn on the headlights and drive along your chosen route. Then every time another car comes towards you brake and flash your lights. This way they will think there are speed bumps ahead of them think the better of it, turn around and head back where they came, leaving your favourite road car free.

It's all I ever use.....

Still think that is up there as one of the greatest ever inventions. I've got the same set up on my turbo. Watts go up, tagnuts fly off!! Everyone's a winner - apart from the missus when she has to wipe down the kitchen doors! 😂😂

A true classic.

Just 'borrowed' that and sent it to my son. Not that I think he needs it but its his type of humour.
I, of course, am disgusted by it.

Incidental to cycling, but this is the advert that led to me writing 'winnit' on a triple word score during a game of Scrabble, resulting in a ten minute argument about whether it was a real word or not.

In a real world top tip, I've discovered after about twenty years of putting bikes in sheds, that if I put them all in rear wheel first, it is a lot easier to get them back out again because the handlebars have far less to get stuck on as they are all right next to the doorway. Who knew?

I seem to recall we've been there with Viz style Top Tips, and it ended with lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth when someone feigned affrontery and some imaginary slight.

Simply avoid online arguments about hi-viz clothing by not responding.

er, is this the right thread ?

Btw, my first tip was actually real, I did it with two shoes this morning. It was just as I was typing it I thought " God, this is Viz territory!"

Bike Thieves: Do some good in the world by only stealing bikes that are insured, allowing the victim to put in a highly inflated claim for their crappy winter bike and claim it was a Pinarello! Everyone's a winner!

Cyclists. Make everyone think you are a Tour de France winner by simply going to France in July, joining a pro team and pedalling the Tour de France route faster than anyone else.

Cyclists! Polish your tyres so your neighbours think you have a new bike every day.

1. Cyclists - now the cold weather is with us, remember to replace the air in your tyres with Winter Air. It is more dense and helps to prevent punctures.

2. Cut down wear on your front tyre by pulling a wheelie and riding everywhere on just your back wheel.
