Re: question

Excellent! Although I suppose he was proving a
point in bikes' favor :)<br><br>As far as insurance, I
should note that the city only requires/provides
insurance for messengers, not all cyclists. Same for the
helmet law. Which is why it's unfair. <br><br>I got into
a hollering match with some driver who kept honking
at me even though he had room to pass. He told me to
"get on the sidewalk", and I tried to explain the law
nicely, but he kept shouting, so I was forced to call him
a bad name. Just doing my part to improve the image
of urban cyclists...:)

I could only suggest re-threading it. However, if you do need to replace the crank, check to see if you have a bicycle recycler in your area. It will be a ...
