Erm, the wheels sit on the road. You and the rest of the bike hang or stand
on the wheels.

No, they *stand* on the road and the rider *sits* on the bike which *hangs*
from the wheels.

Simple innit?

Nope. At the moment about half my wheels are hanging from the garage
ceiling; about half are hanging from the frames hanging from the wheels
hanging from the ceiling and a couple are not hanging at all being on
their side in the Brompton in the boot. This situation may change
during the day

No. After a long ride it's the rider who hangs.

Or on the carriageway, or pavement, or is that the footway Guy?

I stand by the assertion that certain opinionated wheel builders should
be hanged.

He's the one who runs the comic shop in Springfield for his brother when he is
at a Dr Who convention.

Perhaps we should issue a call for uk.rec.cycling.on-topic to take the
