are there any ethical questions to do with cycling? i dont mean road etiquette. i mean things like a bike’s provenance etc. you seem quite happy to reproduce soft porn images to illustrate your articles on the porn peddlars for example.  when one considers the catastrophic effects of porn on society at large does a little charity work really offset that?

I believe Movistar for one, are using biodegradable bottles.

Well there was a picture of a sexy squirel that I recall at special moments.

I do wonder if this person was making all these posts as part of a school project.

What: “101 ways to p!$$ off the grown-ups”?

Trust me students don’t need to venture anywhere near the internet to find 101 ways to do that.

This gentleman enlivened the first week of my early watchings of the TdF, this is not porn either, but there is a lot more flesh on display.

Victoria Pendleton did it better 😉

And as to the “plastic bottles” – any cyclist knows they’re water bottles and fans will scour the roadside for souvenirs after the race has gone.

I agree, too many tits around here.

Well I suppose we could look

Well I suppose we could look on the bright side. Redrobot aside, we’ve all agreed that we all like the RoadCC website, and all for pretty much the same set of reasons.

There’s been no squabbling about helmets and no squabbling about who has the most experience on two wheels.

Take this as a positive result.

as a maths exercise i once calculated the number of plastic bottles thrown into the french countryside by riders in the tour de france over 30 days. it was a large number. 

 

One reason why I’m not keen on major, competitive sporting events in general.  Though I don’t believe the Tour De France is anywhere near one of the bigger offenders.  But the fact that it’s often an environmental catastrophe is one reason why if it were up to me I’d scrap the Olympics.  Glad you agree.  Now there’s two of us in the ‘end the Olympics, now!’ movement.

 

The (football) World Cup can go as well.  I really don’t care about the Tour, but if that has to go as well, in order to end the festival of corruption, nationalism, fake-amateurism and misplaced priorities that are the Olympics and international Soccer, I’m OK with that.  Down with all high-stakes, sham-amateur, competitive sport!  Stop encouraging unnecessary competitiveness over things that don’t really matter!

 

Or is it only cycling you have an undisclosed agenda about?  Can we all throw in our pet causes, even if they are eccentric-ideological rather than being down to some weird personal gripe (you’re a petrol-head who got banned and is pathetically upset about it, aren’t you?)
