Gear Prudence

Have a burning question about a bike etiquette issue or a regular question about a burning bike etiquette issue? (stop, drop and roll through the stop sign!) Email it to GearPrudence@washingtoncitypaper, the nation capital's only and therefore best weekly bike advice column! Every week, I try to answer one or two questions to help combat #CONFUSION regarding all things bike. Occasionally, the answers are useful. Some past columns are here, here, and here. Gear Prudence relies on real questions from real readers, so please, please, please write in! Many thanks!
