And our last question of the week:

Q8. Show us a photo from something cycle-related from the past week! It doesn't have to be anything special at all.

If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!

@doris asks:

Q6. Have you ever had a "Bike of Theseus": a bike where you've eventually replaced every part of it that it's completely different to the bike you've originally had?

Inspired by the Ship of Theseus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

(If you haven't, do you have anything that comes close?)

@forth asks:

I know we've had winter biking questions in the past, but I'm wondering specifically about studded tires and the alternatives - DIY studs, chains, zip ties.

Q5. Am I forgetting any alternatives? Does anyone have experience from which to compare them? (studded tires or studded tire alternatives!)

@drgeraint asks:

Q3. Is there a bit of road that you just hate cycling on?

For me, a short stretch of southbound Mearns Rd at Mearns Kirk. Slight rise, poor surface, from Eaglesham Rd to the roundabout:

Just horrible for a fraction of a minute.

Meanwhile, I just love Mearns Rd up by Hazelden, in either direction:

Do you have a bit of road you just hate? An attempt to explain this unusual phenomenon

Maybe it's a patch of ungodly-sized potholes like in the image above, or perhaps something a lot more innocuous that irritates you specifically, for no major reason. Our tech editor shares the bits of road he least looks forward to

@bobjonkman asks:

I'd love to try railbiking, but don't have (nearby) abandoned rail tracks, and no outriggers, and no skill or equipment to make them. Lots of people do, tho.

Q4. Have you ever railbiked? Built a railbike outrigger? Got photos?
