Re: Should we report dangerous drivers to the Police?
Just to add my story - a car hit me on a roundabout a few months back, knocked me flying, and smashed up my bike. The driver didn't stop but I got the registration number and a good description of the very distinctive vehicle. I also had an independent witness, who happened to be a driving instructo...

Re: cap insurance
I don't know the insurance rules, but in my opinion, good safe practice would be no more than an maximum of 6 children per instructor. Like moultoneer, I personally don't like working with a ratio of more than 4 children per instructor. The age and ability of the children, and where you're planning ...

Re: Right Turn at Busy Roundabouts
...not wanting to be a mobile road block. Hmmm, well it's always good to be as courteous as possible, so well done for that, but do remember, you're not holding up the traffic - you are the traffic. And if you're taking the lane to deal with the roundabout then you won't be delaying their journey b...

Re: Tax on Chocolate!
I love really dark chocolate, and I eat absolutely loads of it. I'm office-bound today and there's a Waitrose next door, so I might go buy a buy some of that "Venezuela Black" that montmorency mentions...or just any other bar of dark chocolate...I'll feedback later. This topic needs to be ...

Re: Bike hire in Malta
Hi guys, Here's another of the bike stands, this time in a nice blue-y colour. Can you guess where this one is, Worthers? Blue Bike.jpg Ooooooh, tricky! The annoying thing is that I definitely recognise it but I just can't place it! I'm gonna hazard a guess at the Lower Barrakka gardens in Valletta...

Re: The Silliest Comment You've Had...
I've haven't had many comments when I've been out biking, but when I unicycle to work the spiel is non-stop! Everyone's a joker!
"You've lost half your bike!"
"Let's see you do a wheelie mate!"
"Look - no hands!"
"Half price bike was it?"

Re: White lines-better without?
If you're interested in the "naked road" theories and other unusual traffic engineering then you should take a look at the work of Hans Monderman and Ben Hamilton-Baillie.

Re: White lines-better without?
There was that interesting study a while back where signs, kerbs etc. were removed in a Dutch town. The claimed result was a reduction in traffic speeds. I'm sure somebody will be along shortly with a link to it shortly.... (would look myself but have to get to the post office!) That study was cond...

Re: Tarts Snickers - Tasty Treat!
Mmm, thanks Mary, those sound great! Probably a fantastic energy snack too. I saw an American recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly (jam, to us Brits) Bars - I'm going to cook up a tray next week
