The tires, mostly. I had one of the early mountain bikes back in the 80s and kept a wardrobe of tires for it. (This was when there was a lot more choice for 26" wheels). The 1.75" moderately knobby ones were for daily commutes, the smoother 1.375" for weekend camping trips with the touring club, the chunky 2.25" knobbies were for the rare occasions when I actually used it as a mountain bike. On Friday night I would swap over for whatever I planned to do that weekend, then change back on Sunday night. I got to be really fast at tire changes after a while.

I use a pump sometimes, but the Flextail is a lot faster.

She was launched headfirst through the passenger side window of a car that abruptly turned left in front of her. Her helmet was demolished, but her only injury was a dislocated shoulder. She brought the remains of the helmet to the next club meeting to show us.

Does anyone else remember those helmets from the late 80s/ early 90s where they left off the plastic skin and just used the foam with a lycra covering? I still remember seeing Curt Harnett’s shatter all over Glenmore velodrome when he crashed in a sprint race. He sat on the track apron for a moment, brushed the remaining chunks of foam out of his hair, then went looking for another helmet so he could continue in the competition.
