General advice and info for cycle owners:

[Shaun Rimmer]

Make sure your wheel bearings are properly greased.

Pedalling forwards tends to move you forwards. Pedalling backwards except in rare cases, won't make
you go backwards.

It is generally agreed that the wheels should be below the bulk of the rider. My personal experience
backs this up.

If you are without a saddle, stand.

For steering control, knees are no substitute for hands.

Your bike will get dirty sometimes.

Bikes should have two wheels. Check you have the correct number of wheels on your bike
before using it.

If your bike stops part way up a hill, adding petrol won't help. Related to this, your bike will not
go faster if you twist the right hand grip (it will likely just fall off eventually).

HTH, happy bicycling!

Actually, twisting the right hand grip on uphills often does make me go faster

Nice, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Isn't it funny how you can tell what Shaun's been up to on his bike without an RR?

Yeah, hilarious! I can just add to the snipped advice with:

After adding petrol to your stalled bike and not getting the desired results, do not resort to
sitting by the bike and lighting up a cigarette to calm your temper and nerves - it will have quite
the opposite effect.....
