Boys Noize and Erol Alkan meet ‘artistic cycling’ +Video

Yes the review is biassed towards classic lazy internet reviewer who talks only about first impressions, not using it dat to day. A single photo of the light on your handlebars would have gone some way to convincing people you actually used the light rather than imagining you did. Yes, the table isn't intuitive but it's also genius. Once they've got it set on the program that works for them, most people never touch it again. It's then super, super easy to use. I leave mine on program 1, high/med/low. You press once to cycle through the modes or press and hold for a flash. It couldn't be much easier and is simpler than any other make. It's also all I need for long commutes and training rides from the city to dark country lanes and canal paths. The light throw is ample for roads even at high speed. It's deliberately dipped. Those other brands you mention are probably dazzling other road users.

When I initially read the headline, I had an image in my head of a 20 stone, tattooed lunk following the pros, puffing and heaving on his own Colnago, grimacing and flexing at anyone who tried to get close. But of course the ‘bogyguard’ would be on a motorcycle. Shame.

It's the exact opposite. A press-fit BB is a pain from all sides: it could get deformed, it could become misshaped by a stupid mechanic (or simply a loosened bolt), even a grain of sand missed during installation can chip the surface and start an avalanche of problems downstream. T47 is a simple solution to all the unpredictable problems with press-fit. That is exactly what sound engineering looks like: making a product for the road, not for the lab.

Fair point – not every bike lane is perfect. But in this case, it's the only safe way for cyclists from the heavily populated eastern districts of Exeter into the city centre. Have a look at a map of Exeter, and you can see that the main thoroughfares from the east are Topsham Road and Honiton Road/Fore St/Heavitree Road. Take it from me that these are not conducive to cycling. So Dryden Road and the E9 are a pretty well-placed and vital bit of infrastructure. The joining points aren't all done yet, which is a pain, but it's getting close to an actual strategic network, rather than random bits of bike path. Agreed that Exeter needs strategic planning on a complete cycling network, and the roads I mentioned above could easily fit bike lanes as well. E9 is overall not too bad – it links residential areas via quiet and safe (currently) routes to the city centre, passing several schools and the hospital, plus out-of-town offices on the eastern edge. But shoving cars back into this stretch of it is a real backward step, and the council officers' own report admits that it will be made unsafe enough that it will likely put people off cycling on it. Maybe there are a few bad bike routes out there, but this isn't one of them.

To all cycling fans and up and coming pro cyclists. That is what happens when you follow a Deliveroo moped.

I have already registered my cycle numberplate, ready for the day Farage ascends to power : Front Plate FR33M4N IS 4 CUNT Rear Plate F4R4G3 IS 4 W4NK4R

Yes. And some of those obscured number plates will be cloned.

The image you've used of a deliveroo rider could well be a legal bike. It's a geared ebike hub (which can't handle massive watts, due to plastic planetary gears). I'm not saying it's totally legal but it definitely could be. Anyone who can provide proof it is illegally modified is welcome to respond. Can't see a throttle or anything like that.

This is completely unacceptable. NSN Cycling Team just issued an apology and removed Watts from a race tomorrow. I wonder what was leading up to this incident. From my experience, sometimes a verbal provocation is very quiet and invisible. But nothing justifies this dangerous violence.

Mr Loo Pole. Famous for finding legal loopholes to excuse his clients on technical grounds. Fails to realise that speed limits are for motor vehicles. Cyclists are not breaking the speed limit, they are not motor vehicles. Simples.
