one of my good mates made an olympic final today.

Well he must be using drugs I would guess ?

Steves = :D

and i hate to break it to you. . .

[insert rolling eyes icon!]

I think I will leave you and your late night internet style of argument to have fun with someone else !

;P

BMX on BBC 1 right now. :)

bullshit. if you are able, through funding provided to that end, to work full-time at your sport, you are no longer amateur.

If funded amateurs are professionals (I hope you are applying the law of the excluded middle here) then there is no tautology in h2o's statement:

"In any case, I suspect the main thing is that the team GB amateurs are kinda full-time amateurs, which not many others in the competition can afford to be."

P.S where can I watch the Chris Hoy vs Mickael Bourgain sprint semi-final ?

I looked around the BBC olympic coverage on their website but couldn't find it ?

In any case, I suspect the main thing is that the team GB amateurs are kinda full-time amateurs, which not many others in the competition can afford to be.

tautology.

His statement is not tautologist, he is making a distinction between those amateurs who do not dedicate all their time to their sport and those (like the GB cycling team) who - through funding - can work full time on their sport, whilst still remaining (technically) amateur.

Recommend me, some, Deep V wheels ?

The vast majority of carbon cranks have a steel insert to accept the pedal threads.

"First, Aerospokes were just crappy wheels a few people thought were cool. Then, they were hip. Then, people started spelling it "Arrospok" and they became ironic. Now, like any number of ironic accessories and like the fixed-gear craze itself, they've broken on through to the other side and are, once again, just crappy, except now a lot of people think they're cool instead of just a few."

i guess that's our fault.

bikesnobnyc can be very funny at times, but after a year or so of following his blog it is starting to grind a little, his endless ability to criticise just about anything to do with cycling is starting to wear a little thin.

There are apparent and known contradictions in the social contract.

By defintion in a democracy they (MPs) must ignore the voice of some of their constituents, we call that group (in a democracy) the minority, cyclists are a minority (in relation to larger groups like the*** Road haulage Association or simply car drivers in general***).

Go to your MP and put forward a proposition that is outside of the prevailing orthodox - and it will, effectively, be ignored.

If that were true then the rich (the minority) should be down trodden. Our society is Plutocratic so it depends on which camp the most powerful sit.

They 'sit' with the Road Haulage Association and car drivers in general.

Are you supporting the idea that 'They (MPs) can't ignore the voice of their own constituents.' Or are you in disagreement with the idea, it is hard to work out from your post?

I am wearing my helmet right now.

Sorry. My mistake. Not wearing... Rubbing.

Classy, :)

Hoy bounces his 'ball crusher' Halfords £79.99 full suspension mountain bike to Oddbins on his 'off' nights, I say this not out of speculation but having seen him do exactly this.

Well, you're post is certainly redundant.

If it is a 'protest' don't forget to avoid the 1 kilometre exclusion zone around Whitehall - otherwise you may be arrested.
