I have a funny feeling that if I buy a helmet, it will last me about a
month before it's lost or stolen. So how much should I spend? Are the
cheap ones really nasty?

Thanks

Recommend some knee (singular) protection?

One disadvantage of being a "disabled" cyclist, is that the smallest
fall on my least strong leg could result in a fracture. Any
recommendations of a knee pad or protector I could buy for the purpose?

In other words, I want a "lightweight" lock which will withstand theft
attempts.

Thanks! :)

Gear slipping

Hi

I have had my current bike for 8 months, and the gears slip a little
bit on occasions.

If I put off getting this fixed, will the problem become more
expensive to fix later?
