Trackstand comp

LOL

Hippy did I see u today on Holborn/Clerkenwell road? on a blue Ribble, Lake shoes, SPDs??

Nup. Not on that road, no Lake shoes. There's quite a few of those blue Ribbles around though.
Dazzler had the road bike version on the Stonehenge ride in the same colour, for example.

While we're on this - who was riding up Holland Park Av on the all white fix with the full length top-tube protector and maybe longish hair? One of you?

RPM trackstanding on the road looks so very gay...

i saw a guy trackstanding holding a coffee with the other and taking sips as he waited for the light to change. a bit of envy crept over me.

nice! that's pretty slick..

haha i tried trackstanding whilst stopped at a crossing on the central reservation of a dual carriageway and i fell and almost didnt get my feet out my straps in time.
i bet i looked like a right twat!

You're only about an hours practice away from clumsily shuffling backwards and forwards like you've got ants in your pants - well if you're anything like me...

haha i can trackstand ok after a few attempts and i can do it no handed for about 10 seconds.
its just when the pressure is on and wearing a heavy rucksack i fail miserably

RPM hah, do you know what Bradley Wiggins said to me?

Did you shake his hand? He has the limpest handshake.

He's a pro cyclist.. they have no need for arm muscle. Gripping would just build forearm muscle and add unneeded weight, hampering his climbing ability.
