That vintage TT is the shizz.
It looks nos...

Oh man, that look up there could be so freaking nice :'(

One way streets safe for cyclists to go down which are wide enough and there are signs pointing out that cyclists can use it should be no problem, it is a constructive law, such as cycle path/footpath combinations.

I never said safety should never be compromised also, I said in more basic terms that safety should come before how fast it takes to get to a destination, you should not compromise that, e.g. if you are running late for work, taking a dangerous back-alley route as a one off shouldn't be considered. Always take the SAFER route (notice I did not use the word safe). Safety still comes first; it is better to be slightly late then to risk not turning up at all, a half-decent boss would understand that.

But I agree with your statement of safety always being a compromise.
Thanks for the links too :)

17 Cyclists should obey all rules that pertain to car drivers (e.g. one way streets)

"We must try to put ourselves inside their skin and look at us through their eyes, just to understand the thoughts that lie behind their decisions and their actions."

I don't drive, but even I can tell how scary it would be to see a cyclist riding down a one way street whilst I am driving up it, there should be no reason to be cycling the wrong way on a one way street, likewise there isn't a reason for cars.

Safety > Time taken to get to destination, with no compromises.

I'm going to bring up red light jumping too, the chances of something going wrong whilst abiding by the red light law, are far lower than the chances of something going wrong whilst jumping one, hence why the law is around. Fair enough in some circumstances it is safer to jump a light, but if this was implemented into law, more people would jump lights, and there will be more casualties, thus making a riskier/more dangerous law.

What we are saying about motorists, is the same general category of complaints, as motorists are saying about us, fair enough a lot of the points are valid, and cyclists are disregarded quite a lot, but just because of this, it doesn't mean every problem on the road are car drivers and cyclists should be immune from specific traffic laws.

I don't want to sound like I am ranting, anyway, debate can be the greatest form of education, and is that not what forums are for? Fire away, prove my points wrong.

Why am i finding weight weenie builds so pornworthy?
That merlin is the shit, and still looks like it could handle a beating.

Walking is dangerous, most things in life are dangerous, if dangers can occur whilst performing a certain action, it is deemed dangerous.

Surely what that tells us is that driving a car is dangerous?

I dont know how you came to that conclusion.

In response to number 2;
If I was cycling on the road and a car sped up behind me and hit me, then that is a danger, it also cannot be helped with any amount of cycling skills as the responsibility is with the driver. Therefore riding a bicycle CAN BE dangerous.

How many grams of rock can i fit in the pipe?

They spend all that money on a photographer and forgot to turn the light on.

The light is on, see the reflections on top of the bikes?

2.7kg bike? (about 6lbs) dont mind if i do...

Practical bikes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

^ fantastic

Neither should anybody else. The right position is the one that lets you cover the course in the shortest time.

To a certain extent yes, but an uncomfortable position for an extended period will slow you down more than a less aero comfortable position, being too stretched out is a lot of strain on your arms, thats hardly gunna make you faster...

Obree hardly took comfort into consideration with his machines...

Spent an hour on the turbo this evening, turning over my legs & pretending I was doing real exercise, but really just getting used to spending an extended time in an aero tuck (without falling off).

Will I just need to HTFU and get used to weight-bearing on my shoulders?

Lift your arms in the air in the aero bar position, notice the higher you lift them the more strain there is? I think the weight bearing comes from your arms being too extended, try being more over the bars when you ride.

Is there something i'm missing about the bottom one?

That peugeot doesnt belong here...
But the rest are nice.

Wait a minute, does this woman have black legs and a white upper body?

I think we should put forward the 1 meter law, cars arent allowed to come closer than 1 meter to a cyclist, or they will be fined or whatever.

nice bike, wrong thread. never post your own bike in porn.

the bike was previously posted by someone else (nuknow maybe?), he was just showing pictures of after it was involved in an accident, which evidently put him in a wheelchair, have some sympathy yo.

Horrible colour scheme.
