Livre d'Or

I know I used to use a headset when we did Skype calls, but that was on a much older computer and I think I might have thrown it out when I moved to a tiny flat and was trying to be minimalist about possessions, as I didn't directly need it for VoIP on my newer computer. But it might be in a box of misc somewhere.

Thank you for the detailed description of how to lock up the bike. I was dimly aware that you have to lock up the wheels as well as the frame, but this is really clear on why. And yeah, I think it's worth spending money and effort on a decent lock if it means I can keep the bike for years rather than months.

Regarding helmets, if I were doing regular serious commuting in London, I'd wear one, so I'm not surprised that you make that choice. But I'm planning on occasional pottering about in Cambridge, mostly sticking to bike paths as much as I can, so I can do the civic thing of making cycling overall safer by eschewing unnecessary safety precautions.

I do love the cool futuristic tech! I think I don't need an invisible helmet, my problem with bike helmets is not that they're ugly and bulky, but that the expectation and practice of helmet use paradoxically reduces cycling safety. And I think I'd rather just wear plain reflective clothes than invisible reflective paint, but that is still some very impressive chemistry!
