When is a child ready to switch from scooting to pedaling? I guess that when you are applying metrics to their 'readiness' balance should be more heavily weighted than anything else, 'cause without balance you can't have direction. Good is up to your tolerance as a parent for letting your children discover pain :) |

Is a Racing-Bike making creaking noises a sign of equipment damage? The saddle rails often creak at the interface with the seat post...to add to your list :) |

Worth it carrying spare spokes? @CareyGregory remember that the hub actually hangs from the rim using the spokes, so they are always operating in tension. You could build a wheel using kevlar spokes if you chose (wouldn't be super robust, but would be possible) |

Fork lube. Should I use it? If so how often? This has been my inclination for the last 10 years or so... My forks have always performed flawlessly without lube, just the occasional (every couple of years) rebuild |

Getting started in racing If you can't find a club, the LBS is a good place to start as they will usually be a member of a local club themselves... |

Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam? @neilfein, I suspect 'the more, the better'. As I said, my policy is that it's better to be seen and misjudged... It's the drivers that don;t see me that scare me. |

Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam? @mgb, I'm pretty sure that the reason for the data on snow plows is that research funding is easier to come by - see the number of articles on police lights. I suspect people don't see snow plows the way they don't see bikes, but someone would need to fund the research! :) |

Safety data: Which is safer, head/tail lights which blink or emit a steady beam? @jay, correct, but in 'large urban center' drivers are more likely to be aware and alert than on 'generic backroad'. Also , the speed of approach is generally higher outside urban centers, leading to less decision making time. |
