Applicant: Daren Cross
Submission: Trail-side pre-ride maintenance
Argument: I take pride in my bike, and try to make its day-to-day maintenance something that is done in my man cave away from prying eyes (spanners on a shadow board, you know the type of place). I appreciate you can never predict what may happen to your bike while riding, and I’m the first to offer a hand to anyone in need, but what really gets my goat is when you arrange a ride with some friends, you know…
