Based on my observations recently I would like to add a new rule:
Please replace your helmet (and in fact, your Oakley sunglasses) when the branding on them that seemed so good now makes everyone think you support the highest profile drug cheat in cycling.
This rule comes out of a ride to work during which I waited at traffic lights next to a guy in Livestrong headwear and slightly baggy Liquigas replica kit. He was on a flat-barred commuter and confirmed my opinion that if you’re going to pretend to be in a pro team at least have the grace to buy the bike as well. I know for a fact there are some lovely Cannondales around in Liquigas colours, and you’ll enjoy the challenge of re-buying everything if they change their main sponsors.
In other (international) news the Uruguayan government is offering bikes in exchange for guns at the moment, so trade in your AK47 for an extra mountain bike, which is better than your standard bike to work scheme.
Also, a man rode a bike down the Amazon. Because he made a bike that he could do it on, basically.
