I'll counter that by saying the Bryton 750se I have drives me nuts at times. Inconsistantly picks up on routes created on Komoot and the app re-syncs every few seconds when trying to set up the device and sends me back to the home screen. The most infuriating one is that I turned live track on. Once. It now won't turn off and repeatedly flags up the live track is starting, and then disconnecting every few seconds whilst riding. I haven't timed it but it wouldn't suprise me if 10-20% of the time the the screen is covered with an error message. That's been about 6 weeks now. Other than that it's great :/

@Paul J Van Schip certainly seems a bit of a dick, but he's a European and multiple World Champion on the track, pretty sure you don't get there without having some talent in your legs.

Poor Vincent cannot get over the simple fact that given the choice people prefer dedicated cycling spaces, rather than pretending to be cars like vehicular cyclists.

What is the point of the fancy air sensor if it can't account for changing weather conditions?? If all you care about is a delayed approximation of aerodynamic watts in steady conditions, you don't need any special sensors for that. Just your speed on a decently flat course is enough to approximate rolling resistance and drivetrain losses. And the rest must be aero. If you assume a less aero body position at the same watts, your speed will drop while rolling resistance also drops, which means approximated aero watts goes up. And that's enough to demonstrate what you've shown in your testing protocol ("I sat upright and the number went up a little while later").

Your correction is accurate - it's almost always been "the (lack of) thought that (doesn't) count". "Massive" - less than a billion a year spent on active travel (trying to catch up / building a network across the entire country) Not massive - 6 billion every year (2026-2030) spent on road *maintenance* of existing "already built, goes everywhere, very convenient" road network for inactive travel Ultimately the reason "cycle infra" is *needed* is those unbelievably colossal amounts spent every year (and for more than a century now) on making mass motoring not just viable but apparently the "best choice" for most journeys. As the Dutch and others have shown, the majority of people *are* prepared to cycle and even mix with very light, slow local motor traffic *if* cycling is also made safe and convenient for the whole of their journey (including secure parking at both ends). (The history of the financial drivers of the current situation are a complex topic but note that while people complain about "crumbling roads" and underfunded motor infra - with some reason - by us continuing the fuel duty escalator freeze (for example) we're actually helping motorists pay *even less* for that activity / subsidising more of the cost of driving than ever.)

yes, but people will still object - which was my point.

So ' Priority of Road Users' and 1.5 metre clearance at 30mph has been been reduced to 'sharing'? NCN route 2 here in South Hams is an absolute scream with white vans, tractors and total idiots who refuse,or are totally incapable,to reverse on high Devon banked lanes ...means you have to get off and pedal back to a passing place....could be at that all day...so I don't bother...

@MaxiMinimalist Agreed. The big problem I see now is today's parents grew up being driven to their schools, and therefore, see private motor vehicles as the only viable form of transport. The vast majority of UK infant and primary schools have a catchment area that is within easy walking distance from home to school. Yet, the traffic caused by pupils being driven to/from school is astonishing. Banishing the "School Run" should be a priority for all schools.

When I was a kid (that was during the previous millenium when phones were connected to a plug in the wall), I rode my bicycle to school, music academy, sport grounds, parties even during the winter. The government didn't have to spend, correct that, didn't have to think of spending massive amounts of money to build cycling specific infrastructures. Over the past 3 or 4 decades, cars have grown bigger, taller, safer (for their drivers) and faster. Meanwhile, motorists have become abusive, aggressive, hypersensitive to people moving on two wheels, aka cyclists. Spending billions upon billions on new infrastructure won't address the crux of the matter. Sadly.

dodgy smilies… sorry!
dodgy smilies… sorry!
those aren’t the cool
those aren’t the cool stages… Pau to Tourmalet, now *that’s* a cool stage. Over the Marie Blanque and the Aubisque i hope…
looks like they’re trying to string it out to the bitter end again, tourmalet at 18 and ITT at 20 should make the last week interesting.
more on this later btw…
Is that a mountain top finish
Is that a mountain top finish on the Tourmalet? That will be a good stage, swap this years Ventoux for the Tourmalet!
I bet that is the one they choose for the Etape…
Yeah, they’re going over the
Yeah, they’re going over the tourmalet on 17 and then back up it on 18. so one of those two will be the etape i’d guess
The 17 stage is the re-run of
The 17 stage is the re-run of the original Tourmalet route. 3 cols including the Tourmalet I think. That will be a bugger of a day 🙂

Etape is 18 July, follows route of Stage 17 (summit finish on the Tourmalet)
Anyone want to commit early
Anyone want to commit early on to a road.cc jaunt to the pyrenees? I would certainly up for a bit of a group outing.
I will!
I will!
The etape is Pau – Marie
The etape is Pau – Marie Blanque – Soulor – Tourmalet apparently. Yowch. You miss the Aubisque though, so it could have been harder…
The 2008 Etape was
The 2008 Etape was Pau-Tourmalet-Hautacam. I’m a little disappointed that the 2010 is in the same region and, to me, stage 9 Morzine looks more of a challenge.
Guess they want to celebrate
Guess they want to celebrate the centenary of the first mountain stage, but if so that doesn’t indicate much forward planning when they chose the 2008 Etape.
I’m in for a trip to the
I’m in for a trip to the Etape. Meant to do it this year but a minor back injury meant the doctors wouldnt sign me off as ok by the time the Jan deadline. Luckily I was fine in the end, and went down to have a look at the tour anyway. An amazing holiday.
Dear road.cc, would you be interested in me writing a blog about my preparation for the Etape, kind of like a ‘fat bloke gets fit’ story? I’m keen to do the etape anyway, and I can be witty at times. Current weight is…er, high. But I love love love biking and this could be the journalistic break I need. Or something.

Cheers boys.
hmm… maybe, we’ve got someone
hmm… maybe, we’ve got someone else who is also supposed to be writing a blog about getting fit. Hey we could have a competition! 👿
A competition, as is who
A competition, as is who reaches the summit of the Tourmalet first takes all? At the moment I’m 138kgs, 6’2″ and not really as obese as my BMI rating suggests; built like the proverbial brick outhouse. I reckon I could still drop a couple of stones though, and I can’t think of a better reason to become fitter than I’ll have ever been. Come on mr road.cc, you know you want to. It’d certainly make up for being eternally last in the fantasy football league…!
Gandberg…Im going to take
Gandberg…Im going to take the pressure of being last in the football league off you within the month i expect!
