Believe it or not, Raleigh was a major cultural icon in the USA also - at least for serious cyclists of my age. My first geared bike was a Robin Hood three-speed. I longed for a Chopper, but it was never to be. Then, in 1970, my father bought himself a Raleigh Gran Sports. It was third in line of the racing bikes in the US catalog. Luckily for me, my father discovered that he was afraid of cars. So in 1974, when I was 13, he gave that bike to me. I became obsessed. It had 531 tubing. It was chrome. I was in love. I eventually ended up road racing from the late 1978-1982. Then I moved to NYC to be a junior "executive" (a YUPPIE). I left that bike with my parents in the suburbs where it would be safe and bought a series of NYC-safe bikes - two of which were stolen. That bike had legs. I eventually started riding it again in the 2000s once I was in the suburbs. Eventually it sat and rusted. Finally in 2017 I started a restoration project to resurrect it into a city bike. It took two years to complete. That bike is still with me today. My faithful Raleigh. When I ride it, I am in love.

@Rendel Harris I watched him at the world champs in Glasgow and he was never going to win but he still kept going around waving to fans and has always been a top pro who appreciates the fans.

Absolutely. And cycle ball (Radball). One for fixie fans. Oh, sorry, that should be on cycleball.cc ...

Nowt wrong with quick release axles. Squishy 2.4" tyres, factory built under-tensioned wheels will flex well before a properly set up QR.

If we're asking bicycle ballet has always impressed me. Skills!

Having experienced the near lunatic kind of driving that Italy has I think he'd be better off regulating cars. I would be surprised if there wasn't some way of over-ruling this measure, either through the local council or the regional government.

@mdavidford And bicycle polo. Why isn't there more coverage of bicycle polo on here?

As per usual. Rapha Core jersey looks a bargain. And it is, but only if you are size medium, small and extra small. So, no bargains for normal sized people.

If it’s all about performance
If it’s all about performance he might want to do something about those pedals, look like Shimano M324s.
Or maybe I’m taking this a bit too seriously…
the only thing that’s five
the only thing that’s five grand about that bike is the name: isn’t it an old cannondale r5000?
Catchy tune.
I think that is
Catchy tune.
I think that is 5000 Australian dollars and he is riding a Tirreno.
