How do you feel about Lycra?

Not a problem in France, I have never even heard anyone suggest it might be a problem on public transport. The level of acceptable risk appears to be totally arbitary and in the UK the default action is to always ban and control.

"I cycle myself...." 'Nuff said.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c62e6pxvpkno Ignoring Cambridgeshire Police's overreaction to an eMoto rider, BBC are incapable of reporting on the issue properly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/make-a-complaint/#/Your%20Complaint "The article states: "Cambridgeshire Police seized the device as it was capable of speeds of up to 23mph (37 km/h) with the legal limit being 15.5mph. The man has been reported for driving without a licence and not having insurance, as well as failing to stop. " Yet refers to the vehicle in question as an eBike. The term eBike usually (and should) refer to electric assist pedal cycles (EAPC), which are perfectly legal. Such vehicles do not provide motor assistance above 15.5mph, nor can someone be charged for driving without a licence or not having insurance, as neither is required for an EAPC. Please correct this article and refer to the vehicle as at least an *illegally modified* eBike, or better yet an electric motorbike, as that is what it is." For anyone who wants to complain too.

@leedorney Challenge also make a clincher version of this tyre, which is both cheaper and lighter. So if you don't run tubeless, that's the version you would buy. If you bought this version, it's because you do want to run it tubeless - and would be pretty pissed off to discover you can't.

They will be riding past a Greggs five times when they go down the Bail. Hopefully the cameras will capture Pippo riding past

It would be great to see an electronic mech from Ratio at some point.

You can have an opinion. And other people can have an opinion on your opinion. Good, innit?

@wtjs Apparently he lives a one-hour drive from Swansea in the village of Penmark, a trip for which Uber quotes an average of £70. His basic salary, without bonuses or any kit sponsorship, international fees etc, is £12,500 a week. Should have been fined for wasting court time with such a stupid fake "hardship" claim.

"Crashed on a GoPro" isn't even close to the stupidest theory going around: saw in multiple places yesterday that it's "an open secret in the peleton" that TP accidentally took too much dope the evening before and knew he would fail the end-of-stage controls so deliberately "as can clearly be seen on the footage" caused the crash. Why he chose to smash up his head, shoulder and spine instead of just saying he had a bad tum or something and stepping off remains a mystery...
