That some black cab drivers think bikes must be speeding because they are faster A to B than black cabs in London.
I haven't got a head for heights... I'm going to buy a Red Shark Bike Board instead - it will be great for bombing up and down the Rochdale canal!

Those tribars are a good option - aerodynamic drag is very significant once you exceed, er, 5 km/hr!
I recall having an exchange with someone on a car forum I am member of, who as commonly believed, cars should have priority over cyclists at all times because of not paying "road tax". However, for some reason, he wasn't so keen on priority being given within road users based entirely upon upon the amount of VED actually paid.So... went the conversation, cyclists should pay tax. Then onto cars... mmm I'm thinking of getting all electric, they are tax free, really? Says I, yes they are zero emmisions. I laughed so much I broke wind.
A up mate your wheels are going round.
Get off and milk it

I would be up for that!However, for some reason, he wasn't so keen on priority being given within road users based entirely upon upon the amount of VED actually paid.

Yup I hear ya. I'm glad the wet and dry versions exist. My hubrid which is always sitting uotside only ever gets wet lube and my MTB usually gets wet lube as it's usually going through a puddle or two even during summer off road ventures. The road bikes get a mixture, weather dependent but I really like the dry lube, it's so... uhm, ceramicky.Good points!
I don't particularly care about whether it's wet or dry, but I did want to ask about it, just to know if it was prone to washing off. I don't think the guy even understood what I was on about.
I've actually used WD on a commuter in a very wet UK city for half a year with no problems. Thing is, I'd given my drivetrain a deep clean with some white spirit, so running it on degreaser alone after that didn't seem like a great idea. (I doubt elbow grease alone counts as lube )
