15h	awarded	Famous Question
Feb 14	comment	Headphones while cycling @Paul: Since there is a second argument to close your post: How long do car drivers use radio? And they are sitting in a cage of glass. They hear less, are always surrounded by the noise of their car and are going higher speeds. So silence seems not necessary for driving in general. But as cyclist, i often overtake other cyclists, which turn left without looking back. They behave as if they could hear everything coming from behind. Electric cars will punish such behaviour much more than my 85 kg (+ 10 kg Peugeot Palermo).
Feb 14	comment	Headphones while cycling @Benzo: The linked duplicate says: `it almost seems wrong to edit and make some of the answers sound off, but FWIW, I was asking in reference to riding places without cars. Parks and such.` Vote to reopen!
Feb 14	comment	Headphones while cycling When I cycle over streets I know, I encounter cars. Surely without car's I would only be in the pure nature. There can be many unknown things, so I would pull off the headphones only there.
Aug 29	comment	What is considered the maximum safe downhill speed on a road bike? @Reid: Or km/h. Isn't that the international standard for speed measurements?

Feb 27	comment	How to deal with lock that keeps jamming? In locks, you normally don't use oily liquids, but graphite.

Jan 25	comment	Why aren't Tour de France riders going any faster? The data shown in the question shows the stagnation in the last 10 years, but you take your claim of 5% increase in speed over 10 years from exactly that data. So where is the contradiction? Maybe you're not allowed, to build an overall average, and ask where it was in the last 10 years. (If there would have been such an increase, it would have been an overall increase of 55% - wouldn't it?:) ). So if there is no linear progression, you can't base your expectation on it. From a more practical viewpoint, how fast would a cyclist be in the year 2110, 2210, 3010, 12010?
Jan 25	comment	If I'm riding on the road, and there is a red light but a walk signal in my direction, should I go? @BrianCampbell: Maybe, if you're using a car, ignoring the red lights can save you 5 minutes too?
Jan 25	answered	Safe cycling lights red but the man is green
Jan 24	comment	Safe cycling lights red but the man is green a) From an energy standpoint, take it as a fitness exercise. b) From an energy standpoint, watch out early, and adapt your speed, so you needn't stop.
Jan 24	comment	Why aren't Tour de France riders going any faster? I'm sorry, but your reasoning sounds flawed. An overall average can happen with a logarithmic curve, or reaching to a limit. Expecting a 5% growth for 10 years after seeing a growth of 50% over 100 years is not reasonable then, and in fact, our data basis is just asking, why there is no 5% increase in the last 100 years.

Oct 20	comment	Choosing lights for my bike @MisterPhilip: I don't know - I just know the fact. For the front-light, the reason could be, that you don't just need the light to be seen, but to see yourself. But for the backlight? Another idea is, that blinking lights have special meanings: Police, rescue and fireworker; dangerous situations, very wide vehicles, ...
