Cyclists Eyes

Well said. Without better crowd control, there will be a more serious incident. Then, we’ll lose the mountainside crowds altogether.

…exactly, then the spectator might be dead!

Good article Ryan. …and….crickets. In pro-cycling, wilful ignorance rules.

The 2026 TDF was brilliant. No question. …but to the most pertinent question…oh, “It’s too hard to answer, for tomorrow maybe!” This is THE answer given by the vast majority ignoring the climate emergency. ‘Not my problem. Tomorrow…maybe’. Tadej, Remco, et al, as ambassadors for cycling, feigning ignorance just doesn’t wash. The ASO needs to urgently answer this question too - what are they doing to mitigate the climate emergency? Let alone getting their heads out of the sand re start times in the hottest time of the day! As do all the fossil fuel sponsors who think they’re greenwashing their brands via pro cycling. In reality they’re just trading on Tadej, Remco and everyone else’s wilful ignorance. “It’s too hard to answer, for tomorrow maybe!” Really? Great, it’s now tomorrow…Tadej? Over to you.

Finally some good news in this ridiculous world of junk consumption. Everyone. Just stop buying this crap.

There is a pressing need for a kitemark type scheme for ebikes, their charging system and their batteries. We are regular users, touring in the UK and abroad and have problems both with transport and accommodation (trains and hotels etc) due to the lack of such a scheme

I have vague recollections of cases not being brought against careless/dangerous road users because..."we haven't received a complaint from the injured/aggrieved/close passed victim..." The police's zeal in seizing upon this minor infraction suggests one thing and one thing only...(over to you, little onion.)

The orchestra of the alpe…nice story Ryan. I reckon the madness is more rock concert than football stadium. Whatever, it’s the best stadium in the world! …more containment would kill it, yet some more effective policing of idiots might prevent someone dying one day. …But as you say it’s the tension that makes it. That’s d’Huez’ rock n roll.

I genuinely don't see how the police can consider this an offence. The rider goes no closer to the parked car than one would when filtering, so is that now an offence? The 1.5m rule is confusing for idiots on Facebook but you would hope the police would understand what it's there for.

What an odd clickbait title - considering that 99.9% focus of all cycling media, product development and marketing is about increasing speed. 🙄 …and the best part - 99.9% of us will never ride anywhere near that fast! 😂 …so it’s a mute point. It’s all for nowt.
