Yeah cycling is essentially masochism in bright clothing. I enjoy being half destroyed climbing some stupid mountain

yes this is what big cycle wants

A helmet is not a legal requirement.

There's an onus on cars to allow time for a bike to properly launch at stop junction, it's in the rules of the road too.

Its a solid white line on a thin lane, the car has to wait behind you because theres no way they'd have 1m clearance of you and still be in their own exit lane. there should be no cohabiting of the junction and the driver should read the book about the laws of driving. I'd be in the positing...

For anyone who speaks ratios, look at this insanity: "Evenepoel beasted this climb with a huge 60-tooth chainring - and still won by 22 sec"

The eco warrior/centrist dad or whatever the latest one is that i am will only tolerate a 2nd hand bike for project - that said some really nice bikes have been bubbling up in the budget range, even though i'm not buying for a few months. decided i'm gonna train* on my current bike till at least...

I probably did close to 100km off road on my Dawes in portugal. It was dry though. It wasn't exactly competition speeds but it was a lot of fun. Gravel runs seem to be all the rage now if that's a training option.

I'd a wee scope around adverts and there's plenty of nice enough bikes in that range. A local TT here wouldn't have time to get to an actual hill. Not going to spend money till after the new year anywhoooo

I'm mildly considering getting a road bike again. I've a notion i'd like to attempt a local TT for the craic sometime next summer. It'll be 100% between 2 and 300eu off adverts type operation. I am currently not even in the outer orbit of that speed right now, but that's kinda the point.

I found that element kinda funny in the region i was in - 50% surfers with slightly visible neck/chest panel tattoos, 50% golfers in most places i ate.

No I was lucky - there were loads of people with surfboards arriving as i left and i was getting the weather warnings on the phone.

Not a huge amount but it's a lot of off-road kinda stuff, like pushing a 25kg bike up an uncycleable mountain path isn't going to look great in distance covered stats but i have jurassic park quads now, stopping for swims and going for huge feeds if somewhere looked nice. It is very mountainous...

The 4 days i just did in portugal are probably the best 4 days consective cycle touring i've ever done in my life

For bike stuff because it Offsets the car it's essentially in profit all the time, so I buy more or less what I want or need. Even doing that for years and the entire spend on everything bike isn't near the cost of an entry level car. At the same time if I'm just trying something out I'll buy...

I wasn't getting clothes but i got 2 things from bike24 online most recently and there was no messing about. All going well i'll be off for a few days on the bike as of tomorrow morning.

I'd a seatpost mounted rack for a while on my previous bike which while having an odd rake opened up full day wandering trips to new. The long term result of doing that was to realise that I should just get a dedicated touring framed bike. The touring bike is possibly one of the best actual...

Old pannier still working part time for groceries. The bike is probably pushing about 22kg from it's factory 12. Didn't try for the lidl jacket because i need to get a new bar bag soon and theres at least two weeks left in the one I have.
