Yes, by weird coincidence I first heard it a few years back on 6 Music while travelling back from competing in the RTTC National Closed Circuit TT Championship at Thruxton.

Depends on the potatoes' relative CdA.

I used to be spanner in a bike shop that sold them. Excellent quality and any we took as trade in as the kids grew out of them would easily get sold on in a day or two. So much better than some of the turds from a national chain that came in to be polished. Hope business manages to continue.

Head on photo of racing cyclist on road bike.

Pinned a number on my back again for the Ely & District CC Hardriders 25 TT. No medal or trophy for me but great to catch up with friends and rivals on my 10th go at this classic event.

Rim brakes? Frame pump?

That was excellent! Hope there will be a series.

Same could probably be said of most people's childhood home constituencies though? My own, West Dorset, has never really figured.

Good work. Write a shopping list and forget to take list to shops is next level to aim for.

Radu, thanks for riding for Alex Pretti. I've not got numbers for the ride later unfortunately. Guess my social media influence is limited. Not a competition though and I'll do a thoughtful ride in remembrance anyway.

"For All For Alex" Zwift ride ...

Or "collectivism", as opposed to Trump's individualism?

Grateful for any reposts of this Alex Pretti remembrance ride on Zwift (+ ride joins of course). @nedboulting.bsky.social @doctorhutch.bsky.social @rvasuta.bsky.social @americanfietser.bsky.social @100climbs.bsky.social @camerooneymason.bsky.social @roadcc.bsky.social @davidcox65.bsky.social

It's not a race. "rubber banding" is on to keep us all together. Late Join (30 mins) is allowed.

Lots of bike rides on Saturday in remembrance of Alex Pretti, gunned down by ICE in Minneapolis. If can't attend then maybe join in on Zwift? Look for the "We Ride in Unity" Zwift Club or follow link to ride. @zwiftrides.bsky.social @zwiftinsider.com please share! www.zwift.com/events/view/...

OK, here we go. Have set up a "We Ride in Unity" Zwift Club (find it in Zwift Companion) and a "For All For Alex" ride at 10:00 CST. Not a race or a workout, it's a "keep together" ride. Zwifters should be able to find it by joining the Club or following this link: www.zwift.com/events/view/...

For those of us unable to reach or host an event it would be cool to have something on #Zwift (and / or other virtual cycling apps) too. @gozwift.bsky.social @zwiftinsider.com @zwiftrides.bsky.social

Listen to The Boss.

The Arsehole looks more like a Shitehawk to me.

So he SAW a bunch of cyclists without lights or high viz. What's the problem then?

Gotta get the victim blaming in first I guess.

Who's paying?

Looks like it's time to change my #Zwift flag to 🇬🇱 .

An "opposition" group would allow them to continie to set the agenda. A more positive "welcome" group might allow those with different thinking to take more of a lead.

That said I'm not really into FB in general and local FB groups in particular and try to avoid.

Used to enjoy GiantMilitaryCats in the other place, but it's good to see some more peaceful, local pussies here.

Anybody out there have a Helicomatic lock ring tool ? Needed so the rear wheel from my 1984 race bike can be respoked by maestro Pete Matthews 🙏

It's 5 feet minimum in UK. Too many drivers don't know this or ignore it though.

@gardeningwitch.bsky.social gound a couple of ancient crackers for us today and one had this classic bad joke, which even without the typographical error was a bit shit. Made my Christmas.
