Yes - Ian Walker has done some studies about how drivers behave differently when faced with the same cyclist dressed differently.

Fuck me that's a lot of champagne.

Gently massage them with a pomade made from fine herbs gathered from Alpe d'Huez and rinse with the sweat of a Ronde van Vlaanderen winner.

You mean like it says on the route sheets?

Last DunRun I was on, one of the Paragon riders came a cropper on a pothole a couple of hours in and needed an ambulance. Hope he was OK. That's a hard lesson in riding in too-close pacelines in the dark.

I found that a Spyre gave quite a bit less clearance than a HY/RD.

No worries with a SONdeluxe + centrelock adaptor and a HY/RD.

So. A bikepacking-style saddlebag that could fit a 13" laptop. Is there anything out there other than Carradice?

I'll be coming back from 'straya for this. Hoping the jet lag will come in handy.

Transmission. The Pirate Bay. ExpressVPN.

Oh dear.

The latest gossip from the mechanics at Sunweb is that Dumoulin either had a bad front tyre or a dire rear.

Personally, I think that doping might have been involved. Something like Bot Belge.

Take the funicular or ride up to Brunate. Go to Trattoria Cacciatore. Set menu. 3 courses. Amazing.

Fabio Casartelli's family used to have a shoe shop in town. It may still be there.

I think comobike, where a pile of Lampre riders used to hang out, has gone.

Obvs you should go up the Ghisallo and pop into the museum and chapel.

Vogon are the industry standard. But you will pay.

I have a custom De Rosa Titanio and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I had a very similar problem with a HY/RD and found that the pads were contacting the arms of the rotor. Switching from a svelt Shimano to a more agricultural 6-bolt TRP rotor made a world of difference. I expect a washer or two under the mount might also do the trick.

That's gotta be the second-nicest baby blue fixiebike around here.

I'm happy with mine. It's much nicer than the previous model.

I use mine for non-Brompton luggage.

Ah, that's shite.

Some credit cards give early life purchase insurance. Depending on how you paid for the thing, you might get some satisfaction.

… which would have been great, had Bunnings had one.

Fucking stupid bolt size choice error.

Yes.

… because ordering one for cheap off the interwebs isn't a great option when your bike is in pieces and unrideable and it takes a fortnight for anything to arrive in the post.
