When I'm not bicycling, I'm a Linux SysAdmin. I'm on the board of my local bicycle advocacy group.
Bikes are my primary transportation. A 2009 Surly Long Haul Trucker, set up as a commuter and a 2012 Trek Ion CX. I also take the bus, but do not own a car.

What are the reasons for and against wearing a bicycle helmet? @darkcanuck: Count of people in the US hit by lightning and people in the US killed riding a bicycle are about the same. Odds of being hit by lightning you cite are ignoring "selection bias" for calculating odds. (if you live in an area where lightning is rare and avoid hazardous conditions you reduce your odds of being hit by lightning by at least a factor of 20.) I'll put more in the response. |

What are the reasons for and against wearing a bicycle helmet? I think teaching vehicular cycling would help more than putting in more bike lanes. +1 for pointing out that helmets aren't everything. |

Shoes for oddly shaped feet For the warmer months, you might have some luck with open-toed sandals. I have similar foot-size issues (extra-wide) and decided that special cycling shoes aren't important. |

Is it possible to fit a chain guard to a bike with derailleur gears? I use pant-leg clips sometimes, but honestly I find that rolling up my pant leg or tucking my pant leg into my sock works better. |
