How to bike

The 90stastic bike resource, as useful and lucid as it is guilelessly messy, is the marvellous Sheldon Brown’s how-to guide (e.g. How do I work with cantilever brakes?)

Bike light

Ding lights are Australian-designed lights that also have a downlight to illuminate the road and the cyclist, assisting the cyclist and approaching drivers. AUD170.

Knog does bike lights with well-designed removable clips.

Local vendors

Omafiets, the bike shop where I have the most friends working.

Linusbikes and their attempt at non-ugly bike luggage.
