Names and faces to bikes

you are a special case Seb

it does unless you ride a clown bike.

or ride on roads solely occupied by caterham 7s.

two lorries side by side, you are fucked.

not really lorries have higher mirrors than cars, so bars have little to do with it

You mean like...heaven?

it's not about mirrors. its about bars going through gaps that hips have to follow. anyway, goodnight.

Riding with your hands close together also constricts your breathing by closing your chest... I've noticed this on longer rides.

I've done London to brighton on 31cm bars and can't say it impeded me.
Bars are a personal preference, get over it.

Deliberate pun recognition fail. :)

Real men don't need handlebars, they're hard enough to just grip onto the stem.

Pedant recognition fail. AND DIE!!!

Remember though that the bars have to pass through gaps straight....hips, shoulders, and big arses don't. Therefore you can have bars narrower than your hips or shoulders and still get through the gaps by just twisting your body slightly.

speak for yourself!

hehe....you're like mercury between the cars man!

like a courier?

:)

No...i meant your arse is as big as a planet!

ooft!

HTFU people

No...i meant your arse is as big as a planet!

each to their own Ed, each to thier own.
You're turning into a right little bike Hitler these days.

Hahaha! +1...

Just cos a few people say they like your bike doesnt mean you can sit up there and tell us how to tinker with ours ;)

Haha, 'pedant' impersonation fail. Also, I read that thread a long time ago and my attitude to emoticons is just different from yours--personally, I don't need them at all, but I'm not putting them there for myself, or anyone who doesn't need them, either, but for those who do like them. It just helps on a forum--I don't use them in e-mail at all--, and it's no skin off my nose.

:)

very funny! you 2 could be the next Little and Large! (apologies if you actually are Little and Large.. apologies to the comedians' families if they're both dead, don't watch the news much, apologies to John Snow)

Don't be, we've yet to find out where you live.

clearly in one of the rooftop tube offices in shoreditch..

Yeah, but you also had your tongue cut in half, on purpose, so I reckon you have a slightly different response to pain than most people :)
