Grey bike, white forks, some 14 spoke cards. Nice whip - what's the rear light you have on the seatpost, pretty natty that, looks unclippable...?

I overheard someone talking about their performance in this to their friend outside Cargo earlier on tonight. (approx 23.00)

You mentioned doing a bit of pavement round by a bus stop....who was it?

Where are you walking? The only time I see people cycling on footpaths is kids out in the 'burbs.

Brixton / Tulse Hill / West Norwood and also see quite a lot around Kew Green.

I am getting pretty militant as a pedestrian, I regularly get in the way of people that ride on pavements and point out that its against the law.

I even pushed one off, he clipped my arm as he rode past on the pavement, got a bit of a wobble on so I caught up with him and helped him down to the pavement.

I have toyed with the idea of carrying a bolas to thrown in their back wheels.

Must have been a bit of let-down to enter that and then have it called off on you.

Personally I would have been deflated.

There are currently a grand total of 2 bicycle related pictures on it. The rest are of girls and animals.

Is this some sort of oblique reference to the Etape Caledonia?

No, that would have just been tacky.

Basically a good dose of HTFU is required for some of them.

Whilst I can kinda understand the rider's protest for today's stage (complaints of tramlines in the road, parked cars, people on the course etc, I don't see that it's really got anything at all to do with yesterday's accident.

This is a grand tour for elite riders, there's going to be fast descents on windy roads - coming off on a corner / getting a blowout etc is part of the sport, surely?

Maybe they'd like inflatable barriers on every corner?

Lance apparently said the whole pack was 'livid', sounds like he thought it should have been called off.

If that was the case and they were all livid then they would have all ridden a go slow, surely?

Fairplay, some of the finishes so far have been on really narrow streets at pretty high speeds...

Thanks for the advice villa-ru - I went for a chain upgrade as it happens, but didn't really think about the saddle much TBH. Might have a look at options when I pick it up

evening...been lurking for a while, signed up a little while back but didn't have much to post....some may know me.

Rode BMX years back, haven't owned a bike for yonks. Put in order for a Pearson Touche on the C2W and very excited.....

I've been using Hotspot Shield to watch the geo-restricted streams on the universaltv.com links from cyclingfans, but seems to be down today :(

If you don't mind being a day or so behind, someone on alt.binaries.multimedia.sports is putting up the stages from Eurosport.
