What is different about cycling in London? you can certainly try, but whether they'll hear over their headphones and background traffic noise is an open question |

Why am I breaking a ridiculous number of spokes? The town bikes with a very upright seating position, which sound similar, generally get called "Dutch bikes" in the UK. Now I wonder what the Dutch call them. |

Why am I breaking a ridiculous number of spokes? Out of interest, I've seen a couple of references to a "Eurobike". They're both in scare quotes, and I have no idea what it means. Any chance of an entry in the regional vocab or terminology wikis? |

Are there devices to moderate speed on mountain descents without braking? I can do 30mph fixed with no problems, and it's not a particularly high gear - if you find a gear that will get you up, you just need to practise spinning on the way down (note that you can just let the pedals pull your feet round if you relax, and you get a similar engine-braking effect to downshifting in a car). Or, of course, stop at the top and swap sprockets ... |

What should I consider when buying a respirator? No idea I'm afraid: some googling turned up this which is mostly about the totobobo mask Benzo mentions, and some online shops with customer reviews like this |

Matching Rando bag and seat-attached saddle bag? Acorn look similar to Carradice in style, and it looks like they're available from wallbike too. |

Are fixed or floating SPD-SL cleats most suitable for a long commute? Think OP is asking about SPD-SL cleat varieties: red (fixed) vs. yellow (6 degree float) |

thin-soled cycle touring shoes Most walking shoes have thicker, softer soles than you really want for toe-clip use: they're less efficient, don't spread the load as well, and often have lugs or treads that catch on the pedal cage when you kick into the clip. |
