i cought a guy who pulled a hit and run on me, he hit me diliberatly and i narroly avoided gowing into the curb, i cought him at a red light and made shure he was not going to be happy. though no damage was done to his person.
a feeind of mine carries an extendable batton on a clip on his belt, he snaps of mirrors all the time... i also head a roumor about a guy who peppersparyed a driver in Chicago.
once i sat on the hood of a bently that nugded me at a red light, then ran off.

i have no idea what my saddel is other then its not leather (the 2 part pealing damage is a tell tail sign of man madedness), it came frome the bin with the frame and it is well comfy in jeans, or comando (tho thigns tend to chafe), i have never had a pair of cycle shorts in my life so i have no idea if they make a difference. I tried to ride my freinds bike with a brooks, but never sat down cuz frankly leather discusts me

tyres would be a huge concern, but i generaly am able to find perfect ones in the bin. saddels are not that big of a concern, greese and lube can be, but there are vegan verisons wildly avilabel, you just have to know which is which and do some resarch. tubes might be, i think most of them are manufactured wiht out animal ingredints beacuse of the thinness of the leather, but some puncture resistant ones might not be. some gloves have leather bits, but those are mostly the full hand MTB kind.
i was under the impression that Sidis used animal dirived glues in them... but that is just something i have heard from freinds.
also as far as green points go i would say that over the life of the cow and in the proccessing of its hide there woudl be lots more damage then that done in the manufactureing of lorcia

i got hit in the face by a pegion once, it flew stright at me, i ducked, but it still hit me.
those photos made me feel quite ill. poor squrilles. yes i am one of those silly vegans who cries when i see road kill.
oh and once a guy in the states tryed to convince me to trade my bike to him for some crack...

So i have had this problem twice with my hub, once i got hit while raceing and rideing home on the damaged wheel a few barings cracked and the hub locked up (cones tightened down grinding baring into the hub.
last time i was on a back road in heartfordshie, and the hub locked again. i inspeced it, and the cones ae in the same posistion they where that strange night, i have been needing a new hub any way, but need to get my bike working again untill i can afford new wheels. is their anything more i can do then service and re-grese the hub, and replace any of the missing/ damaged barrings?

it seems impossibile for me to find shoes that are vegan, they either all have leather, or use animal product based glues in them, or both. and none of my trusty vegan shoe shops seem to be cradeling to the cycleist market.
so untill i find shoes that im satifyed in the veganess of its my good old toe cages
