I don't see why it should. I've reported downhill segments where they had side roads that made them dangerous and the present system works fine as far as I can see.

Strava can't reasonably know the reality of every hill / mountain descent on the planet so I don't have a problem with them leaving it to sensible locals to flag dangerous segments and riders to only push hard on descents that they know well enough to be safe on (i.e. responsible riding).

Will be interested to read the review when you've been for a spin. Wonder how this stacks to the new Sa Colabra .003 from Hoy bikes too?

Realised that may be a possibility but was hoping they would have let him go because of the finish .....still either way I was wrong ....Again!

Please don't let Enrique beat me overall ....I'll be suicidal if that happened

I'm a regular use of the Redway system in Milton Keynes and find it to be a safe way to cycle around the city. The Redways are now kept relatively clean and repaired as can be expected, given the present finanical crisis councils are facing.

Cycling in MK is made even better by the fact we have two National Cycle Routes running through the city and the Grand Union Canal makes a great cycle route also.

You still have to contend with the ignorant idiots who cycle on the wrong side or ignorant pedestrians who seem to think that the routes are not for bikes, despite signs everywhere clearly indicating bike routes.

Well, if people are posting segments on shared use paths - which they were, and riders certainly go way to fast on the Bath-Bristol path - then you can't really blame Sustrans for having something to say about it. The story now has a link to that article but here it is as well. I wouldn't say there's too much in it that anyone can really complain about. Although I'm sure someone will find something

Does this mean that Strava will finally stop their pussy-footing with regard to 'hazardous' segments and anything that brings you closer to sea level faster than sinking through solid earth?

@Beardandsandals - think you've misunderstood Hood's comments. 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' is their signature, not a statement made in regard to this subject.

Otherwise, hood is advocating taking responsibility for one's own actions. Use of the word 'in play' is just an expression of speech.

Did it have a wingman?

I can do although I prefer to mix it up on the way home and being up in N.Yorks there are plenty of options for that.

A week off could work but with the good weather and that fact I'm chasing 1000 miles it would seem like an awful waste, I'm sure we all know that feeling of regret when not taking advantage of good weather!

Perhaps a new bike would help?

Geese are a regular hazard in spring on the short stretch of canal I use to get to work. I was late for work one day due to waiting for geese to move... Just before hatching seems to be the worst time.

The Princpia Rex was LESS than half with Red- 3000 and the frame is nicer. Granted no Zipps but you can 2 or 3 pairs of Zipps for 3500. All this bike does is help make Mike Sinyard rich...
