Maybe it's not a dildo but just a phallic shaped sealent applicator to be thrust into a punctured tire?

In the forties and fifties my father always referred to traffic lights as 'robots' probably a common description on countrywide installation.

I'm considering carrying one with a sucker to stick on the roof of the next driver to cut me up.

I'm sure there'll be stiff opposition to this from other teams.

Is Durex Sensations the new official lube for team Sky?

Team Dimension Data rumoured to be following suit, and now "powered by Duracell "

Road cycling and sexual perversion go hand in hand. Minority interest with tight clothes, pain for pleasure mindset and the usage of gadget and drugs to get more out of it.

Thomas is only doing it to get attention otherwise why post it up on social media? He's quick to criticise Wiggins for attention seeking and then pulls this out of his arris and thrusts it onto tinternet, now he thinks he's the big dog he's such a media whore just like the rest.

They did it ot take the piss out of Wiggins.   If they didn't post it, how were they going to make their point?

While I a sure they found it hilarious, I doubt it was a wise move.

Surely 'Le Dildo Rouge' - I can't imagine it would be a feminine noun!

fench is very odd, more about the sound than the sex of the object. 

So it’s le zizi (willy) but la bite (dick)

in addition, UCI have insisted on keeping to a 3:1 ratio on tube profile, since "aero"gains are not permitted.
