Ah yes, he's another 'keen cyclist' like that #Ediz bloke. How long will it take before he realises that cycling, walking and public transport is the solution to his problems?

Definitely! Bit niche, but it's good that people are doing their own thing on bikes and in fine style.

Why is the question only ever "how can we rip even more cash from our fans?" and not "how can we attract more people to the sport and give better value to existing fans at ticketed events?"

Also, I ride Oury Grips or DMR Sect grips which aren't slippy in the wet.

Not used studded/spiked yet. Have run aggressive knobbies at squidgy pressures.
Use a firmer low profile saddle with less padding so it won't become sodden.
Decathlon have some ponchos on offer at the mo.
Thinking of one wearing when I'm at my allotment...

Yeah. The pedal slip injury happened like a decade ago. However, the skin on that shin took months and **lots** of antibiotics to stabilise. Since then it's been susceptible to reinfections whenever I catch it on anything. But it's far from being the worst bike-related injury I've experienced.

With the DMRs, I can hop on/off easily – something I appreciated during my courier days.

I'm quite respectful of pedals now. I got Cellulitis in one shin after cheesegrating slipping in the rain.

Still have some old Shimano DX cage pedals, which I fitted PowerGrips to, but haven't used for decades.
