Crossword: The Bike Tools Edition

by 14

We’ve got cryptic-ish clues, and the answers are all tools you might use on your bike. If you’re not from the UK, you’ll likely find this a bit harder since tool names are not universal/international. Try doing DIY with an American if you’re British, or going into a tool shop in the UK if you’re American… it’s like being in an episode of the Two Ronnies. Which is a reference that’s probably lost on you…

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

    Oooof, that would tip the line from kink and into some sort of assault. Certainly my one would with a big handle, plenty of length and sturdy build.

    You know when there’s a really annoying person in the office. They do too much of this.

    Aargh, I had all except 2, 6 & 9 done at 6 minutes. Now it’s 10 mins and time’s still ticking away ☹

    I once stood on the hard shoulder of the M40 with a cardboard sign that said “2across?”, since that was what I needed to borrow to reattach my fuel line

    It was the police who eventually stopped 😳

    Luckily the back of the car was full of inflated balloons, so I didn’t look at all dodgy

    I’ve just spent an hour trying to use Hammer, Molegrips and Cableties.

    I guess that tells you something in itself.
