Suggestions for buying a bike for commuting "What are the things I should look out for in particular?" -- The answers and comments in reply to What bike+equipment for a long daily urban commute? helped to answer many of my questions, and to see various parts of a bike "in particular". |

How to protect myself when falling off the bicycle @PeteH Wear cycling gloves with a padded "heel". I've fallen more than once without breaking anything. For example landing on earth is easier than landing on hard concrete: even a little padding is a better than none at all. |

Which puncture-resistant tires? My limited personal experience is two punctures in the first 5 months; followed by no punctures in the 10 months after that, after changing to Marathon Plus tires. The Marathon Plus tires are quite noticeably less "lightweight", and (subjectively) make the whole wheel feel stronger: e.g. I'm more confident riding them at speed over cracked road surface (roads in Toronto crack because of frost heave), and riding the bike to places (e.g. beyond the public transport routes) where getting a flat would be a nuisance. |

How to handle an attempted bike theft Perhaps ask the mum whether she thinks you should press charges, or whether she has a more appropriate idea. Also, lock a wheel of your bike before you put it on the bus bike rack (to prevent it being ridden away). |
