I’ve seen debris blocking the front mech before now. Is it all clean there ?Boardman is building a wind
Boardman is building a wind tunnel in Evesham so you’d be able to test there.
TBH I dont see any aero benefits being noticeable to non professional riders. Just buy the prettiest one.
I doubt that any of these
I doubt that any of these military bases were a shock to the locals. The US don’t really do understated military bases.
Strava probably has to be seen to be doing something.
I’m jealous – plenty of
I’m jealous – plenty of decent roads to ride around but i can only think of one ex railway path that is a footpath too and so not suitable for speedy rides when people are round.
Nice work. Any idea how it
Nice work. Any idea how it came off ?fenix I disagree, not only for the oppression analogy raised by @Bikebikebike but also because I have been hit by a wing mirror at around 50 mph in a B road close pass and I firmly believe that inconsiderate road users will remain ignorant if there are no repercussions to them as individuals.I’m not sure anyone performing a close pass is that concerned about your wellbeing. If you’re hitting their car then I’d not put it past them to run you off the road or even attack you – as we’ve seen.
I’m all for making them pay for their actions – but not at the cost of my safety. Video them and report them.
I’ve never worried about
I’ve never worried about people drafting me. Sometimes I’ll draft others and take a turn when I can.I’m used to drafting from riding with a club so I don’t see it as dangerous.

A bike vs an angry driver in a tonne of car – it’s not going to end well for the cyclist.
Just look at the last example on here – Tuggles putting himself off balance.
The only reason to bang on a car is to make yourself feel better. You do sound quite angry. Do you hit many cars ?

Get a camera and report the incident – at least we can see drivers are getting prosecuted for it and it’s being publicised. How you think punching a car helps your safety at the time is beyond me.

No point in having the moral high ground if you’re in a hospital bed or worse. You’ve just seen how even an attack captured on video of an ex con with a criminal record as long as your arm almost ended with the guy getting off.Blimey. He almost got away with it.One thing I’d say though – never hit a car/van – you don’t know who is inside and most drivers see red at this kind of thing. We can’t win in bike v car fights.
An escalation is only going to end in harm to one party.
Well done on seeing it through.
If someone passes closes enough to palm then that’s what I am going to do.
Plus taking your hand off the bars in an already dodgy situation just makes it much more likely that something bad will happen.

This is just a boring
This is just a boring puffpiece deisnged to show off the sponsors business.
They asked just 200 people ffs – and it was probably leading questions –
1. Does it annoy you when cyclists cycle in the middle of the road, creating a long queue of traffic behind them ?
Don’t even give this piece of rubbish any more publicity.
