The question was regarding white sugar.
My mother taught me to soften brown sugar place a slice of bread in the bag
or in the container for a few days.

White Sugar hardens because moisture is introduced. Brown sugar gets hard
because it loses moisture That is how white sugar used to be sold in the
olden days. Big huge lumps that you chipped away at.
Your best bet is the smash the pieces using a meat tenderizer or even use a
blender. At this point only do a 1/2 lb when needed.
Never introduce moisture to white sugar or icing sugar to soften. Always
introduce moisture to brown sugar to soften.

City landscape is not very different from the jungle. You can be
camouflaged in plain sight, which in this case works against you.
Drivers are scanning the road for vehicles, not bikes.
You have a stronger case by wearing bright clothing against "I never
saw him!"

The authorities create or allow this "no man's land" to exist. The
result is this confusion that works against the cyclist.
Here TAKING THE LANE would be as dangerous as riding to the edge, as
many drivers feel entitled to the road and you... you are just a
monkey on a bike.

I'm talking from the vantage point of the wildest place on Earth. Not
London certainly.
Why don't you turn to Oxford for advice? A lot of bicycles there.

The 93.1 KM from Oxford to London is rated as:
"Recreational, Onroad, MTB, Smooth, Safe, Unsafe, Rural, Scenic"

It sounds like a fun but risky proposition.

Whenever I ride in London, I don't get passed "with few inches to
spare". That's because I ride in the correct road position, which is
probably what you'd describe as taking the lane.
You're riding dangerously - don't try and persuade others to repeat your
mistakes.

So TAKING THE LANE is the solution... But one thing is to take it and
another to HOLD THE LANE, come what may.

OK, let's write the CCBTB or Code of Civilized Behavior Toward
Bicycles applicable in London, Miami or Kabul. It's not yet legally
binding, but it may some day:
ROUGH DRAFT
1- A bicycle is entitled to TAKE THE LANE on multilane roads. You the
driver must exit the lane 20' before and after.
2- A car and bicycle may share the lane on single lane road, provided
the vehicle slows down to 20mph.
3- The cyclist is responsible for being VISIBLE, and ignoring this
rule may result in dismissing liability of the driver.
4- The cyclist may occasionally take the other lanes to turn.
5- Those who ignore these rules, bullying cyclists, committing hit-and-
run, better join the Taliban because they will be hunted down. ;)

I've said before 30'... 20' doesn't give you time to react and jump
out of the way, right? Maybe 50' (15m) is better.

Have you cycled in the UK at all? The thread is about London in case
you didn't notice but its no different in Oxford or in Cambridge. In
fact its much easier because there are many more cyclists around in the
latter two.
But the advice is the same whether you are in the UK (Cyclecraft) or USA
(Effective Cycling, Vehicular Cycling). And hogging the gutter is not
the advice for safe cycling.

That's a car route not a cycle route. The hint is it takes the Oxford
Bypass followed by the M40 into London rather than Headingley Hill and
the A40.

Not if you're cycling in London (the topic of this thread) but it seems
you are posting on the basis of zero knowledge of that topic. But
that's Usenet I guess.
