Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he’s not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he’s not doing either of those he’s pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he’s agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don’t He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Except that there isn't a 'specific sub-strand of left-progressive thinking that underpins DEI'. 'DEI' is literally just an initialisation of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and covers any policies and practices intended to enhance those. Those can come from all kinds of viewpoints, and there may be strong disagreement on what they ought to be. It certainly isn't a a subset of affirmative action - rather the reverse.

If I ever want my knees to bend sideways I'll opt for those.

@mdavidford I appreciate there's been a sincere effort over many years by people with certain opinions to conflate being against specific policies with just flat out being a bigot(admittedly helped along by some of the people who're against those certain policies), but it is actually possible to have a completely logically consistent point of view that is both left-progressive *and* against the specific sub-strand of left-progressive thinking that underpins DEI and other affirmative action policies.

"arguing they cost Brompton approximately £2 million and led to 40 job losses" That's a funny way of saying "our business depends on exploiting and underpaying people to be commercially viable and/or to support our executive pay and bonus structures".

Bah, I'm waiting for the campagnolo replacement joints. Sure, it will be twice the price and require an entirely new set of equipment for the surgeon to install, but it will work magnificently and my legs will look better than ever.

@mdavidford - I don't understand, is one suppose to inhale or not?

Are the joints only available in Ultegra and 105? I guess this is one case where you won't get too many people complaining they were quite happy with Sorer. (Although I understand there are quite a few older people on Tiagra - or something like that anyway.)

It would be really good if you could stop giving Wilkie the oxygen of publicity he so desperately craves, he doesn't care about cycling, cyclist safety or anything else and his posts create considerably more animosity towards cyclists as they are generally him doing something stupid and then claiming it was the motorist's fault, e.g., filtering in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane and then complaining oncoming traffic didn't give him enough room. All he wants is to get clicks, comments and reactions for his posts, whether for monetisation or just for his own sad little ego I don't know, but he's definitely not someone to be encouraged, in my opinion.

How can you tell? I struggle to make out the details and at least looking at the beam shot seems to be clipped in with overshoes and all? At one point the fork does look a bit round, but could be the angle?

What’s with the hating? Its far easier to prove guilt, rather harder to prove a negative yet no one even started a case. So until someone actually even starts a court case I’ll give “cancer charity fundraising machine” ($53m given to various causes in 2010 alone) the benefit of the doubt.
That is cool. I wish there
That is cool. I wish there was more footage of him shredding the trails.

Wish they hadn’t cut out him
Wish they hadn’t cut out him ‘landing’ that 360.
