I wrote to Christian, and am happy to try my best to translate from French for anyone interested. My French isn't perfect, but it's good enough to understand the message in French and write it out in correct

Au membres francophones de la liste: je vous offre mes services de traduction en anglais! Ça m'offre la chance d'apprendre la terminologie français de bicyclette, alors n'hésitez pas!
