Re: Trailer or Panniers

some interesting opinions on use of trailers;i use a trailer and find it just great,and in retrospect superior in my mind to pannier bags.one glitch is pushing it up hill;not to be enjoyed,and for this operation pannier bags would be far preferable

Re: And all I wanted to do is quietly ride home

many sympathies;the fact that they reacted the way they did when the window went,would point to the fact that they were a bunch of physocpaths,and sounds like the police were less than useless;youre better off without either therefore;id revel in my revenge,which u surely had!truely a act of god! :D

Re: How much weight do you carry?

ive found that using a trailer is preferable to loaded pannier bags;advantages of a trailer is more space;tested i find a trailer easier to push up hills with than loaded panniers;also easier on the back!the long wheel of trailer/bike base may hold the clue.comments welcome. :D

Re: Frozen[sic] shoulder and physiotherapy

i have a ongoing shoulder problem,and due to ignorance on correct procedure to treat,have suiffered for many years;physchotherapy envigorates/strengthens the muscles;ice up to 8 hours a day for 20 mins a day is better than any pain killers;those rubber band exercise thingy was suggested by a medical practioner to keep the muscles active;inactivity on said muscle problem is to be avoided.

Odd size crank arms

due to a lifetime of cycling with a groin injury i have to compensate my pedalling strokes;to explain;my riding position is lopsided,so consequently one side is shorter than the othe as i pedal the stroke.;iam contemplating using different size crank arms to compensate,and hopefully a more perfect balance will be the result;does anyone have similar difficulty resolved by this mechanical method,or not!your ideas or results if u have experienced such a problem,would be appreciated.
