I remember there's a law in a different country that stated you're not allowed to lock your bicycles to any street furniture unless there's a bicycle stand.

I can't remember which country that is though, it's in Europe I think.

I'm pretty sure that's the rule here in Denmark...

Day four of my thatchers apprentenceship: Fell through a roof from 1732, landed on my head and shoulder 6 metres down. Now stuck in a hospital for an early christmas holiday... Great way to start a new career

Nah, I think our current government is doing that just fine (I'm Danish btw). Couldn't do worse, even if I tried... I'll stick to throwing straw around.

Not a craftsman yet, but monday morning I'll start on my thatchers apprenticeship. Really looking forward to it.

Chasing is running a tap down the threads to 'renew' them (Sorry for the dodgy English...)

In my experience trikes with two wheels at the front tip quite easily when cornering. This one seems even narrower than the trikes I've tried, so I'd guess it's even more prone to tipping?

Danish construction company Logik & Co are beginning to use bike instead of vans on their minor jobs: http://epn.dk/brancher/service/article2220929.ece?partner=pol Capable of carrying 440 lb, easier to get around town in and free parking...

I'm using a Shimano freewheel (and I beleive the Genesis flyer does as well) and haven't had any trouble - Others have though...

The freewheel requires a special tool to remove and replace...

Signed up last night. Being chubby and out of shape, I needed something to motivate me - This hopefully turns out to be it...

Might have been posted somewhere before, but regarding the earlier comment about Royal Mail using vans instead of bikes:

Think about the (untimely) death of cyclist per years, we get upset and devastated by that, but even so, the number still remain very small (15 death per years), that's a lots smaller than the rumoured NYC rate of one per weeks* if that to be believe.

*I'm trying to find that out, friends from NYC kept saying that line, but I can't seemed to find a source, doesn't sound likely though.

I used to have one of these.. for Uniglide/Ultraglide?, Hyperglide freewheels. I've got no idea if I have it with me though. I'll have a look tongiht.

HyperGlide and UniGlide use different removal tools. They look alike, but aren't exactly the same.
This is the HyperGlide tool:
eBay-image-link-fail

This is the UniGlide tool:
eBay-image-link-fail

The can be had for 2-3£ on eBay: HyperGlide & UniGlide I'm pretty sure you need the UniGlide version...

Ah, ok. Just used to auctions at my regular forum. 15 £ sounds reasonable.

How about an auction running til noon wednesday? Starting bid 1£ min. increase 1£?

I'm in Denmark, though, so won't be able to pick it up. How about posting a for sale ad for the prize and donating whatever money is made?
