@j-t-g: A dedicated thread. I feel that pun was underappreciated. Or unintended?

Jez Avery. UK Trials wiz back in the day. Don't think he's been on the MTB scene in years.

Field Test: 5 Trail Bikes Point Uphill in Whistler for the Impossible Climb
@onthedownhill: Saying this as an owner of 2 dogs myself - all dogs, no matter the size, have the capability to do damage. Anybody who knows what they're doing knows that they don't let their dog off the lead in public, ever, until it has been trained to the point of being trustworthy. The guy in the clip had the ability to defend himself to some extent, but like you point out, some people don't.
For the sake of the public, and the animals themselves, people should have to pass a test or be vetted thoroughly before being allowed to keep any animal. Those 2 fuckers have no business owning any dog at all, let alone big powerful ones like that.
As the guy said, sorry isn't really good enough.

Thought Experiment: The Most Adjustable Mountain Bike Possible
I want the ability to engage 2-wheel drive mode at the flick of a bar mounted switch. Is that too much to ask?

6 Environmental Initiatives in the Bike Industry: Seaweed Gel Pods, Schwalbe Bike Soap & More
I met a guy on the trails once with the ultimate solution to this problem. I noticed he wasn't wearing a helmet and when i asked him why, he said that he was tired of falling off and breaking them. It was costing him a fortune.
The solution - no helmet, problem solved. Dude was ahead of his time!

@L0rdTom: I guess you're putting that as an ideal world situation - in which case i agree - rather than the situation as it is now (depending on manufacturer, garment etc). I was just responding to the scenario above with patagonia's turnaround times and so on.
But i agree that most things should be made so they're repairable by a reasonably competent owner with basic tools, and spares are available to make this possible. Dualit toaster as an example - fixed mine recently for the cost of a new element at 15 quid. Not only a good as new toaster at little cost, but no landfill, and a warm fuzzy feeling inside
