Not that it sounds like a dealbreaker given the other faults you've identified, but that cable isn't really a "proprietary" cable, four pin magnetic cables like that are quite common on bone-conducting headphones and other devices (my inexpensive smartwatch uses one) and they can be had for £4.99 on UK Amazon.
There was never really anything to say about le col kit. Most of it was alright. Some of it was poorly designed/made. Trying to position yourself as a Rapha competitor whilst always offering 40% or more off doesn't scream premium though.
Up next in the MucOff product line; for when the cassette won't budge, (chain)whip-it!
(Plus I'm pretty certain TDF team leaders don't drive themselves to the start nor bring their own bicycles)
@MaxiMinimalist Absolutely, and there is not one inch of middle ground between cycling there and using an incredibly selfish and wasteful supercar, is there? Fortunately I suspect the whole thing is AI, as the footage on his Instagram shows the numberplate GT3...
That Dogma colour scheme...Don't hate it - but reminds my of the Orange Clorkwork I had in '95!
My last collision with a car happened like that too, except we were pulling from a red light and she didn't signal til I was next to her. But I wasn't hurt, damage to my bike and clothing was minimal, and she stopped and apologized profusely, explaining she had a brain fart and simply forgot I was there. Fair enough. I already knew her insurance adjuster, and we had a good laugh.
@wtjs I got an NIP ref and subsequent update saying "The case has been transferred for court proceedings." but nothing after that (request to attend as witness or result). I've chased the police for an update but I won't be surprised if I get no response.
Is this a 'filler' article to get content out? Opinions are like nostrils we've all got them but out of the bikes in this opinion piece, laying down power on real roads and not being beaten up I would rate the Bianchi and the Lapierre.
Why would one expect a nearly 27-yo professional with millions at the bank, who rides a bicycle for a living and wins cycling races, to cycle to the start of TdF?

Wow, this probably shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does… but man this is annoying.
Out of interest, what responsibility do the school have with regards to student welfare outside of the gates? i.e. are they liable if one of the kids off themselves, or if the kids off a pedestrian?
if the answer is yes, then that makes this situation more of a grey area, but if not, then this is just wank.
Essentially this is pandering to moaning from pedestrians / motorists complainign about school kids.
Lets be frank, kids are kids, and I am sure there are plenty of complaints of poor conduct regarding kids walking to school, the parents driving their kids to school, the kids using public transport… the difference is that the schools can ban cycling. They can’t ban kids being driven to school (parents would go nuts), walking or taking public transport, so they do this.
It is utter crap. Why won’t schools take a stand, tell these moaners that childrens conduct outside the school gate is not their responsibility. Why don’t they encourage best practice by offering cycle proficiency training (is it bikeability now?), why don’t they protect their interests by asking that children do not display uniform outside of the school gates?
Also, I thought schools couldn’t ban cycling? They could make it difficult, but out right ban it? Anyone know for sure?
