comment About 20-30 people bike to where I work. What equipment/supplies should we have on hand?
I just do not see these as the "other things". To me, these are the major, and possibly only things. IMHO, a biker who depends on his workplace to provide essentials like a repair kit, spare tube, helmet, and etc. will run into other problems once these are provided.

comment How to protect myself when falling off the bicycle
Actually, given the severity of accidents I had with a bike compared to the injuries I had to some Judo training that I had at the age of 7-8. You cannot plan accidents, so your reflexes have to be adjusted todo the "right thing"

comment Hydraulic Vs. Mechanical disc brakes
Re. "faster/more reliable and predictable pad retraction when releasing the brakes": Means for pad retraction (like a spring), are missing in older generations of hydraulic disc brakes (like Magura Julie)

comment What are some alternatives to fruitlessly ringing my bell at a motorist?
Wholly agree with the recommendation. Note that over here in Germany, horns are not a legal replacement for a (required) bell. If an accident is caused by making people jump into your path, well, you have to use them carefully.

comment Commuting between car lanes
From a human perception point of view, this seems a reasonable strategy. However, I do not like to learn from pain, if something goes wrong.

comment Can I store my mountain bike + suspension hanging from the front wheel for the winter (in an unheated garage)?
That is true. However, I do not want to worry about rehanging, which is the reason I use the frame.
