@chrisonabike Riding 3 or more abreast blocks most traffic on a carriageway getting past. I cannot think of a jury or a magistrate who would not convict cyclists doing that of lack of consideration of other road users and careless driving

@SVXY Again, it doesn't say that riding three or more abreast is inconsiderate. That's just your opinion, which counts for nothing.

Black bike in a black room with minimal lighting. Marketing people eh?

That’s honestly the best 32” bike I’ve seen yet. Avona’s road bike is also beautiful except for the tall stack height, if they ever release a race bike I’m in.

32 inch wheels are here to stay until the next new wonder product hits the market...

@Gd29 Redshift regularly have sales with 25% off, so you should be able to pick them up for under £40 at some point

@SVXY Yet again it's highly impressive how are you know the exact circumstances of this incident, now down to the exact type of footwear Ms.Tanton was sporting at the time. There are numerous types of all-terrain/hiking sandals that have far better grip than a standard pair of trainers. And once again do explain how having shoes without gaps in the uppers would have prevented Dick from driving straight into her from behind? No actually, don't bother.

@SVXY Of course because cycling on a 60mph road is far more dangerous than cycling in a 30mph zone and you need footwear with the strongest grip to react quicker if needed

@SVXY So sandals are permissible footwear for cycling if you're riding at 15 mph in a 30 mph zone but they are not permissible footwear for cycling if you are riding at 15 mph in a 60 mph zone? I'm afraid this is how trolls always give themselves away because clearly no human being with the capacity to operate a computer with sufficient adroitness to post a reply could genuinely be that stupid.

mdavidford It says you can ride 2 abreast and must have consideration for other road users. So if you ride three or more abreast you could be prosecuted for careless cycling with your inconsideration for other road users under the highway code used as evidence by the CPS

Yet this video contradicts that.

Nothing new about that Enve
Nothing new about that Enve stem, Specialized have been selling the same system for almost a deccade.
No spoilers here, but tonight
No spoilers here, but tonight’s Giro highlights should not be missed

That guy must be curing his aching posterior with that huge inhaler now that Froome has won the stage so dramatically

No offence but if you’re really wanting to avoid any spoilers about a cycling race, then best to avoid a cycling website until later that evening!
I avoid most websites when the F1 is on, but then I normally watch about 3 minutes after the lights go out and then get bored.

Probably better not to put spoilers up there so blatantly, it’s normally possible to avoid the headline spoilers that webs put up, strange as it sounds, but one is prepared to divert ones eyes without registering the final details. Putting up a spoiler like that is a is just that, to spoil it for others. And, in my opinion, people who put up spoilers like that are dildos.
I also feel that dildo is an under used word that was apt for this thread and that person.
No offence taken…
It’s beyond silly to even
It’s beyond silly to even peep at the interwebs if one wants to watch a replay of a sporting event, especially a potentially phenomenally dramatic one at that.
Not just beyond silly, it’s plain idiotic, especially expecting a forum to abide by your whims, lest you kick up a tantrum of entitlement issues, labelling what is just a comment in a thread as a “spoiler”.
So idiotic that even a dildo the size of the giant inhaler portrayed in the pic is not enough to soothe the butthurt & fill in the mental void one has to even consider the possibility of entertaining the very thought of looking at the internet other than to watch the replay, if one has such entitlement issues.
