I'm a mountain biker at heart, but I enjoy the long hilly roads just as much.

comment Do glueless tube patches work as well as glue ones?
I've used glueless patches on my road bike (racing type bike) and my mtb (that I also use for occasional downhill at the local parks) and never had any issues. What kind of problems did you have?

I've seen cyclists hit each other. The fall can be pretty hard. Also, a "slow" fall on a curb or any similar object can have nasty results.

comment Why don't cyclists wear all-encompassing motorcycle-style helmets?
Take a look at this Google Image search for an idea of what bike full face helmets look it. Difference with moto helmet is that they're lighter (impacts come at much slower speeds) and more vented.

It discourages people from cycling ? Not saying it doesn't, just asking why you're saying that... people who don't want to wear a helmet cycle without one, they don't drive.

comment Does my bottom bracket need replacing?
It definitely should not be broken, but the side-to-side move is a pretty good sign of a broken BB.

comment What are the features that I should seek in cycling glasses?
I use orange polychromatic lenses (orange being the base color, they get darker when exposed to UV). It's really fun especially if you live in a place with quick-changing weather.

@Jader: They cover more of your face, they fit in a full-face helmet nicely and they stay in place. I don't know how much you know of downhill mountain biking, you might want to check out the wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhill_mountain_biking

comment How much do you need to concentrate when using rollers?
I heard that once you're used to it, it's just like regular cycling. I'll let a rollers user confirm that with an actual answer.

If you're not riding downhill, goggles are too big for nothing. But yeah, we need to know more about your riding.
