Maybe he had to intervene to stop it assaulting another innocent vehicle.

I guess the point is that they wouldn’t have been poor choices had the poster been able to start on time – they would have been suitable for riding, just not for the unexpected standing around.

Oh – I wasn’t complaining – merely suggesting that it’s done more than enough to deserve a leading role of its own – I make that seven of them just in the last week’s worth of comments here (albeit a couple of those have the twofer of also involving a building).

That’s “agender”.

Is that a hidden agender?

If it’s only ever going to be

If it’s only ever going to be used in erg mode, one option would be to go for a trainer that is smart but not interactive (i.e. broadcasts power, but isn’t controllable by third party programs) – that would split the difference price-wise, and still allow you to use virtual training programs for a bit of extra engagement (without the full road feel).

Of course, if you then find you get into it and want to get the full experience once you’ve recovered, you might end up paying twice to upgrade to a fully interactive one, so…

The one-sided cleat seems like a good idea but in either use you end up needing to flip the pedal.

I’ve never found this to particularly be a problem, and for me the minor amount of getting used to this required is more than outweighed by having the flexibility that it provides.

Not at all, apparently – appears to have been a complete invention. The reason for mentioning the ‘official song’ bit was that if the Sun can’t even get that basic detail right, just perhaps, the rest of the story shouldn’t be given too much credence either.

But in any case, you may be taking my comment too seriously. Personally, I don’t care one bit whether they play it or not – it was just an excuse to make a sarcastic swipe at people who think they ‘ought’ to have won something in thirty years by pointing out that it’s now nearly twice that. And at myself for getting on a bit.

Surely you mean ‘knew’? Hasn’t the tide carried them and their cars out to a watery end by now?
