Cyclist fined for causing oncoming driver absolutely no inconvenience whatsoever: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cd9w2l2wqvdo
@MaxiMinimalist One may also wonder how much of your time you have given to charity recently. Froome is giving his time, his experience, his contacts, his expertise...couldn't you just say that's good that he's doing something rather than implying that it's not genuine unless he puts in his own money?
Today's TDF stage was pure theatre.👏
@Pub bike Exactly. So many people act like they need something just like a motorbike, claiming they need it to 'keep up with traffic' in spaces where a motorbike is legal. I have no issue with you getting an electric motorbike and riding it at 30mph. What I do object to is you riding something with the power to do that in a bike lane, and the mere hint that someone might think it OK to ride one on a shared path is the best way to ensure that all bikes, certainly all currently legal pedal assist, bikes are banned from shared paths and pedestrianised zones. The simple fact that some people want these demonstrates that we can't rely on people being sensible with more powerful bikes.
Whereas I want brazed or welded steel or titanium. When we had to have tight fitting lugs for 753, I wanted the lugs as plain as possible. Just as well people have different tastes. I had a hankering for 953 frame and fork but eventually reconciled myself to a carbon fork when I found that they didn't, after all, crack or turn into carbon dust after a couple of years - I now have a carbon fork which seems fine after 26 years. Then I found that the steel for 953 had to come from the USA, and production is now paused due to tariff wars, so I switched consideration to 853. Then I found that the steel for 853 has to come from Germany, so I thought 'Sod it, I'll go for Fairlight 853 welded in Taiwan' which is the present plan.
One may wonder how much of his personal money has Froomey injected into his own Foundation. The man's net worth reportedly amounts to $45 to 50 million. Four days at 10 grand, I'll have to pass because my banker rejected my request for a loan.
The team's operations and security manager should be fired for gross negligence. Vans and trucks carrying pro bikes can no longer be left unattended because thieves are on the lookout for this light, fast and expensive stuff. There is a market for stolen top-of-the-range bicycles. That's a known fact.
These 'we want more legal electric speed and if we don't get it we'll spite you all by getting an illegal electric motorbike' frequently crop up from idiots in EAPC topics. The reply is NO!
I just love these old, beautiful, hand crafted bikes! From the artistic head badges to the striking, sculpted lugs. However, I noticed in the original rusty photo, the brakes are center pull and 'new' brakes are side pull. Which did it originally come with? I did see, of course, that you did make some changes from the original.
@chrisonabike Maybe they do travel further in motor vehicles. I'd hazard a guess the average distance travelled by bicycle is far far higher for Europeans than USAsians though.
