  8. How about the token road bike on p 1196? Gripshift eh? (actually I was
    thinking of doing just this to my folder, but the collar is too narrow

    Rotating the picture 30deg clockwise gets the rack horizontal, but makes the
    rest of the bike impossible.

    One of my neighbour's kids has got a much better effect by wedging a
    crumpled plastic bottle between mudguard and knobbly tyre.

    Very good effect. Very Loud. Bless! ;-)
