Life is cheap in South Dakota, where you canrun down and kill an innocent person walking on the side of the roadwaywhile driving home after drinking at a fundraiser,then just tell the police you thought it was a deerwhen they knock on your door, and end up walking away with a plea de...
Once again, life is cheap in the UK, where a teenaged driver who killed a bike rider, just weeks after passing his driving test, walked without a single day behind bars afterhe was sentenced to community service and a lousy £240 fine— the equivalent of just $303. A Manx bicyclist ...
Most chains from the hardware store, cheap U-locks, and cable locks can be defeated with a hacksaw. The main drawback is that a hacksaw can be slow on a thicker lock, may catch and bind while trying to cut through a cable, and takes some physical effort to use in general. It is ...
was clearly staged. although most of the onlookers were just normal people. the u-lock cut by the thief just looked like a cheap no-brand (or no brand we know!) to me. probably one of the ones that still uses the mechanisms that can be opened with a pen case. i don’t think ...
The two chains I recommend at the top of this page (the Kryptolok and Evolution), will work as portable security. So let's take a quick look at the best stationary chain lock... The Strongest Static Chain Lock: Kryptonite New York Legend 1515 Pragmasis probably make the strongest chain ...

Our bodies withstand moisture better than our bicycles do. The fact is, every time we rode in a heavy rain, I would spend extra time afterwards cleaning and oiling chains and cables, even repacking bearings, especially in the cheap trailer hubs. ...
Typically I run XX1 chains as I feel like the surface conditioning as well as manufacturing techniques give better performance longer than the less expensive chains. On this bike I put the KMC X-12ti on as I wanted the gold highlights to remind me of my daughter’s cancer fight (gold ...
Simplifying the results, that's a similar aerodynamic saving to an upgrade from a cheap shallow wheel to a pair of the best road bike wheels. Aero helmets don't tend to cost any more than the same brand's 'vented' helmet, so assuming you're buying a new helmet, then choosing an ae...
