comment Do any bike sharing schemes provide a way to rent or share helmets along with the bikes?
Those students founded a company to continue the development process (because that is what you do at MIT) called Helmet Hub

comment skating on my cassette
hmmm, I'll check and see. Would this somehow cause the axle to loosen as well, or might this be something else?

that is indeed what I meant (I've edited my question for clarity). I'm going to head to my local bike gargae coop and investigate tomorrow, so I'll look into these possibilities. Where do you think the cross threading would be?

comment Lock my bicycle on busy or quiet places?
I agree that the lack of data is a problem, so I'll over a nice counter anecdote to yours. I've had my handlebars, levers and cables removed from my bicycle during the few hours it was locked up, moderate traffic, middle of the afternoon. see this related post: bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/10396/…

comment trouble removing a(n old) 700x23c tire
Thanks for all the advice everyone. I did manage to get it off in the end, with a touch of soap. I bought a new tire (as per @scott-langham's advice below, plus this tire is actually a bit worn) and this one is a bit less work with this rim to get on and off.
