Stand tall, mountain bikers of the UK. Place your hands over your hearts - or press them firmly onto any bleeding wounds - and pledge your allegiance ...

I swear to always carry Haribo and give them generously to my riding companions. So help me Hannah (and Chipps).
I pledge to always leap up and check the bike over before self. If unable to leap up, riding buddy shall affirm bike is OK before I can start self-care.
I promise to stop at least once every ride, breathe deeply and take notice of nature.
I promise to always ask people at the side of the trail if they're OK and have everything they need, if it looks like they need a hand.
Ah, that reminds me, I pledge to get an 8mm Allen key for my tool roll. Couldn't assist a bloke with a loose crank arm the other day as that cheap Topeak tool that we all bought a few months back has 6 and 10mm only. Strange omission, I suspect 8mm is far more commonly needed than 10.

I’m sure you just pull off the 10mm hex and there is an 8mm underneath.

Boom, there it is! I can't believe I'd not noticed this, especially as the older version I had also had a removable 10mm bit. 🙄
I promise not to be late for rides with my mates, and then spend half an hour faffing…
