Current Projects chat and miscellany

I need to find out how long my subscription is.

my colleague at work used to laugh at my magazine, but I caught them trying to read the article on the Tour De France (about whether the bicycle really make a difference, which turn out it didn't, just our fitness levels).

Yeah I think I read that one, is that where he compares other athletes' improved performance over time with cyclists'. Its good to have an alternative voice to all the weight weenie aerodynamic chatter. There's so little proper writing about the science of bicycles.

I like Jan (the editor/chief writer) I 'know' him from a couple of lists/forums I used to use- but he's very opinionated and sometimes bends the facts/history to fit his mission/obsession.

Still because of BQ and others I ride much wider tyres than I used to, normally nothing below 28 (new Cougar is exception) and thats all good.

Do you have either of the books Golden Age or Competition Bicycle? They're lush.
