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 height should drop handlebars be - relative to my saddle? Seems worth emphasizing that higher bars are more comfortable. Also, interrupter levers can help the brake issue by adding a second set of brake levers on the top flat part. |

You can always have your drops set up so that the top part is level (or slightly above) the seat, like the height of the bars on most mountain bikes. The increased choice of hand positions is nice, as is the ability to lean forward for less wind resistance. |

Safely overtaking pedestrians @neilfein: it's that "almost all the time" thing that eventually leads to either running over an innocent pedestrian or hitting a tree. :) |

What are the accepted hand signals for cyclists in the UK? And a one-fingered "wave" when they demonstrate a lack of that rudimentary knowledge? ;-) |
