Is reversing the stem (pointing it backwards) a safe way to reduce reach length? No - you misunderstand. I have no problems with the safety of a Dutch bike. It just isn't because the hands are widely spaced. |

Is reversing the stem (pointing it backwards) a safe way to reduce reach length? I agree with Carey - but I also think some of your assumptions are misguided, for example your comment on the Dutch handlebars. |

Why is cycling on a road so much faster than cycling on a cycle path? Oh, I'm not meaning potholes, but the smoothness of the surface at a closer level. If the tyre has to move up and down over small bumps the compression of the rubber uses energy. |

Why is cycling on a road so much faster than cycling on a cycle path? Heh - well, talking locally, the routes I take in to Edinburgh have a marked surface condition difference. The road is much faster, despite being longer. I only use the cycle paths for safety reasons, as the A71 is not great in the dark! |

Protocol for downhill cyclist overtaking a car? In the UK I have seen the opposite - the left turn signal is often used to suggest the road ahead is clear (as we drive on the left) but in any case I wouldn't trust the signal, as car drivers usually aren't as aware of risks to cyclists as I would hope. |
