Grease in the shifter get sticky after several years. A liberal bath by spraying WD-40 up in the shifters, while moving the handles, should clean most of it out. Let it flow out, then spray with Teflon lube. For other easy repairs, YouTube might save you quite a few dollars because a lot of things are fairly simple if you know what to do.

Really sorry to read this Tom. 😥 I always use 'D' locks on my bike and if possible park under or within view of a security camera. Was your bike logged on the Bike Register scheme? Although it offers only visible protection to would-be thieves that your bike is registered, it means you have all the specific details about your bike eg. Frame number, custom parts etc. all logged. You can search its database and it shows stolen bikes so potential buyers are informed. I know this doesn't bring back your bike, but I hope this information helps for the future. 😊 Good luck! 🚵‍♂️

V sorry to read this. A bike lock should cost 10% of the value of the bike. Kryptonite 'insure' bikes if one of their locks is fitted but read the T & C's! Any decent lock, will have a rating. Hope this helps and you are back on the road soon.

I had my knee replacement surgery jus before Halloween, 2017. I did my PT religiously and walked a good bit. I was back on the bike by February 2018, commuting to work, training for century rides and getting back to the daily joy that cycling gives me. You'll be back on your bike soon enough. Walking and just getting around in daily life will be much better, too! You just gotta get past those first 72 hours after surgery. Good luck with the new knee!
