After spending an enjoyable weekend at the Cambridge folk festival. I
was shocked at the wrecks that the average Cambridge cyclist calls for
the want of a better name a bike. What is it about Cambridge that leads
the average cyclist to never use oil, change brake pads, make any
attempt to look around at road junctions and never wear a cycling helmet?

They are clever enough to examine the functional requirements and
adopt them without falling for the same preconceptions that you have?

In my first year I didn't maintain my bike. In my subsequent years I
did without oilable bits or brakes entirely. At no time did I wear a
helmet.
