#MyCyclingWeekend with Decathlon

Filling the road with one person per car is using the road space more efficiently, amazing, I never realised that.

I bought a Giant Defy recently and immediately sold off the hookless wheels at a pretty big loss and won't ever do that again. I'm not buying hookless for road ever. Giant in particular has very short list of what tires they test with their rims so it's way too restrictive even if I was going to ride hookless wheels. Which I won't. Very short sighted by Giant.

Insulting someone on the basis of their ethnicity, gender or sexuality is a hate crime, calling them fat isn't. It would be the homophobia, not the fat-shaming, for which he was charged.

There will be new entry in the revised and increased version of the Dutch dictionary : woutvanaerted (adjective), cursed, jinxed woutvanaert (substantive), bad luck that keeps coming back

I must admit I am pretty surprised they stick with hookless. It's not really about how reliable this particular wheel is. The real problem is how unpopular and commonly hated hookless is. I'm sure many, and I mean many people will pass on this offer by default, just because it's hookless. After all nobody wants to be a guinea pig.

The recommended distance for passing parked cars is 1m not 75cm so if the handlebars are 60cm wide the police car is 85cm too close. That is not a trivial distance. In my opinion it is not safe to overtake a cyclist with cars parked both sides in a street that wide.

Who needs emphasis? You made your point nicely and precisely.

Everything is possible : Father-of-two, 43, who called a lesbian police officer a 'tattooed fat d***' after she arrested him for loitering in someone else's garden is fined £150 for hate crime as judge accuses him of 'living in the Stone Ages https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10986777/Father-called-lesbian-officer-tattooed-fat-d-arrest-fined-150-hate-crime.html

There is so much pressure on the road network that we're going to prioritise less efficient modes of transport.

you're asking if the Kinesis RTD is the ultimate endurance road bike at £4000 for a build that's an aluminium frame? when you've got arguably the best production steel frame, Featherlight, Fairlight Strael at £2650 for Shimano 105 build. Or a carbon frame Canyon Enduance at under £2K?
