Fearful of having such a precious thing stolen I was advised by the local policeman to write my name and address on a slip of paper, roll it up and put it just inside the down tube beneath the saddle stem. He said the police always look there when they find a bike. My bike was never stolen – so I don’t know if it would have worked. I did one day cycle into my local town of Epsom, park my bike on the curb, then met up with some mates and eventually walked home completely forgetting about my bike. I remembered it the next morning, hot-footed it into town to find the machine exactly where I’d left it – unlocked ! Different times I suppose.

Really its not that expensive to get them.But it costs a lot more for a funeral. If only people were more safety concious.

My favourite discovery last year: Wind-up LED triple light with detachable bracket and wired rear light for £10 in Robert Dyas stores, by several companies including ‘Pro Team’ as fitted to my commuter and a local £7,000 Cervelo. Never be caught without lights! Also a torch and Nokia phone-charger all in one.

I am definitely guilty of 3,9 & 10. However if I ate less I wouldn’t need to worry about the weight saving equipment.

I think its also important to cycle on the right side of the road… a friend of mine got confused when on the spanish roads (dont start me on spanish driving skills) and was hurt quite badly!
