I regularly see a bloke in a full face downhilling helmet commuting along New King's Road through Parsons Green in the evenings on a Dawes-Galaxy-a-like tourer. He always changes down to bottom gear when stopping at red lights so spins madly for 30 yards or so when setting off until finally changing up to a more sensible gear.
