Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

I did the Tour de Yorkshire sportive on Sunday and it was fantastic. The engineer for the Otley Chevin road must have been a sadist - it has a near constant grade of 10% on a 1.5km straight road.
Urr...even the thought of the TdY sportive sends shivers down my spine. Did the first one a few years ago, and I'm still drying out! I suspect the weather was a tad better this year.
Personally, I went to Ilkley to see Stage 2 on friday (parked in Skipton, rode to Ilkley and back), rode up Cow and Calf, watched the womens race come in, couldn't be bothered to wait 5+ hours for the men, went home again.
Fit new wheels and cassette and tubeless tyres to best bike, then spent the next two hour ride fiddling with gears and realising I should have replaced the chain as well - very frustrating. Fit new chain after ride, shifts fine now!
Huuh! Cumulonimbus!
