Former world champion’s bike destroyed by truck driven on wrong side of road – but she was unharmed

I do like the ball bikes. His crazy engineering obsession that is sort of also utterly pointless. That and the similarity to the insult of ballbag.

Bicycles can't pedal themselves so they can't break the limit and it doesn't apply to cyclists do they can't break it either so where exactly were these 220 occurrences of the law being broken?

His standard of living would drop massively...

And his wonderfully slow paced reassembler introduced me to the JIS Japanese Industry Standard type crosshead screwdriver. There is a reason why your standard Phillips type crosshead will destroy your Shimano adjustment bolts.

There is hope!!!

Regardless of the merits of the argument, anyone who ties their jumper over their shoulders like that is automatically wrong.

Reply to hawkinspeter Can you give it a more descriptive url so I can imagine it better?

Thanks for raising this. I'm assuming they had a serious talk about visiting Saudi Arabia and went anyway. GCN wants to be respected, but this is the definition of sportswashing.

Regarding "[helmets are] good insurance if you topple over... and so are not without merit": Even that protection is exaggerated. In 50+ years of avid cycling, club membership, etc. I've had exactly one friend die from a bike crash. He was riding at slow speed when he came to a stop. He apparently failed to unclip, toppled sideways, hit his helmeted head and died of TBI. And let's keep in mind that far more pedestrians than cyclists die of TBI. And even more motorists, despite the "protection" afforded by a car's interior. So why is it that cyclists are the ones persecuted by helmet nannies?

Spot on with the explanation but hey Snooks doesn’t want facts to get in the way (I don’t ride hookless for the avoidance of doubt).
