Jan 19	accepted	Where to mount a headlight if the handlebar is obscured by a basket
Jan 17	comment	I can't sit on my sit bones If the problem is too big, you can always try going recumbent.
Jan 17	comment	Where to mount a headlight if the handlebar is obscured by a basket That's probably what I'm going to do. The basket is not of wire, but of mesh (this one to be exact: parts.capriolo.com/proizvodi/korpe/…), the only problem I see is fixing in such way that it stands still and doesn't rattle. There's also a minor aesthetic problem, as the most PVC pipes over here are white or green, and my bike being red/black. :)

Jan 16	comment	Recommendations for bike headlight…possibly running on AA batteries? Re: Schmidt vs others, I believe that they were the first with hub dynamos (since decades ago) and only lately other manufacturers started making decent ones, so I'd say that the price gap is due to market inertia, not that much of quality difference. Not 100% sure though.

Jan 16	comment	Recommendations for bike headlight…possibly running on AA batteries? I wonder what would be the point of removing a dynamo? AFAIK, the point of removable headlights is to prevent them getting stolen. A dynamo hub is not that easy to steal (not easier than stealing a wheel anyways), and old-style bottle dynamo is not that expensive to be thieves' target.
Jan 15	comment	Recommendations for bike headlight…possibly running on AA batteries? That's true, I missed that one, however I'll leave the answer as it might be helpful to other people.

Dec 16	comment	Are bicycle helmets repairable or disposable? Nice to know that. However, benefit of cycling helmets is generally dubious topic, and I would not rely on everything that helmet manufacturers claim. Also, saying that "if there is a crack, it cannot do its purpose anymore" is plain wrong. It can still save your life, although not with the same probability. But neither the completely new and sane helmet itself is a guarantee for that.
Dec 16	comment	Are bicycle helmets repairable or disposable? Except for the helmet manufacturers, who are making money by selling us helmets, even if we have one.
Dec 9	comment	Evidence on “Uglify Your Bike: Effective Theft Deterrent?” I read a bit about Kenk and I believe the majority of these bikes were bought stolen, not stolen by himself. Also, he was also a bike mechanic, so I doubt he could be deterred by uglifying, he knew well what he was buying/stealing.
Oct 27	comment	How much of a difference will I notice going from a Mountain bike to a road bike? @Kaz, I think you're missing the point, Pete is saying that before making investment in a road bike, OP could try making his existing bike more suitable to his needs. Tires do make the biggest difference.
