I do like the ball bikes. His crazy engineering obsession that is sort of also utterly pointless. That and the similarity to the insult of ballbag.

Bicycles can't pedal themselves so they can't break the limit and it doesn't apply to cyclists do they can't break it either so where exactly were these 220 occurrences of the law being broken?

And his wonderfully slow paced reassembler introduced me to the JIS Japanese Industry Standard type crosshead screwdriver. There is a reason why your standard Phillips type crosshead will destroy your Shimano adjustment bolts.

Regardless of the merits of the argument, anyone who ties their jumper over their shoulders like that is automatically wrong.

Reply to hawkinspeter Can you give it a more descriptive url so I can imagine it better?

Thanks for raising this. I'm assuming they had a serious talk about visiting Saudi Arabia and went anyway. GCN wants to be respected, but this is the definition of sportswashing.

Regarding "[helmets are] good insurance if you topple over... and so are not without merit": Even that protection is exaggerated. In 50+ years of avid cycling, club membership, etc. I've had exactly one friend die from a bike crash. He was riding at slow speed when he came to a stop. He apparently failed to unclip, toppled sideways, hit his helmeted head and died of TBI. And let's keep in mind that far more pedestrians than cyclists die of TBI. And even more motorists, despite the "protection" afforded by a car's interior. So why is it that cyclists are the ones persecuted by helmet nannies?

Spot on with the explanation but hey Snooks doesn’t want facts to get in the way (I don’t ride hookless for the avoidance of doubt).

Hairy Brooks…
I liked the strange hairy Brooks saddle on the Brooks/Fizik stand and the fact that that prototype Quintana was actually made of wood!
Those Lezyne pumps were a work of art, I already have a request in for a track pump and a road drive pump!
Hairy Brooks
yeah, ’twas mighty cool. pity you can’t get one unless you’re a top Brooks dealer… they wouldn’t give us one. I did get a Fi:z’ik (or whatever) spirit level though, not much use for me as i have my saddle pointing slightly down. anyone want it? it’s the perfect cyclist’s DIY accessory…
All I Blagged
Was some Nik Wash samples, oh, and of course lots of bits of Torq bar, Clif bar, etc etc.
I also liked the look of that Fizik Antares saddle, I even liked the bright orange of the test ones, that wouldn’t stop me blagging one if that is the intention!
I got a Yorkie!
Which I didn’t get to eat…
Someones Packed Lunch?
I assume, as I didn’t notice the Nestle performance food stall…
heh heh heh…
They probably secretly own all those sports nutrition brands… not really.
No, a lot of the distrubtors know that bike types like sweeties and they have bowls of them to give out – my kids like ’em even more though
I got a Yorkie too
and a fudge bar. forgot about that. they were to keep me going on the long journey home, though to be honest i’d scoffed them before i even got near oxford… that’s why they call me captain willpower.
I need to pay more attention…
when free food is being handed out. Although I did return to the fish and chips and mushy peas line a couple of times, followed by steamed sponge pudding and custard and then stilton and biscuits. Maybe my food radar was a little dulled by that point!
Mushy peas
Unexpectedly chalked off another life first at CORE… never had mushy peas before, green aren’t they? Deelicious too!
