The accident was turning into Foskett Road where it comes off New Kings Road. I live just on Munster Road and was just leaving the house - the guy seemed to be responsive to the paramedics who'd just arrived, but I couldn't see anything further. Numerous witnesses were present at the scene. The paramedics were ominously treating the guy under the lorry, and his bike was crushed under the front wheels. I do hope he is OK.

Please be careful riding down there, since at the moment there's more traffic backing up onto NKR than is usual due to the fact that there's roadworks on Putney Bridge again, and it's a popular route to cycle along.

Good luck Clive!

(Breaking long-term radio silence to hope you have a good ride! :-) )

Emma Pooley is having a great Giro Donne it seems! 5th in the GC, 2nd on a stage ending at the Stelvio, and way up there in the mountains classement! She's having a fantastic season.

who do phil liggett and paul sherwen commentate for anybody? i always find theirs brilliant, its a cycle race, a history and geography lesson all rolled into one.
a link would be appreciated.

ITV4 has the Phil and Paul show - lots of talk about cows yesterday.

Guessing no-one else bought anything from this dude?

Doesn't seem very communicative, and haven't heard anything since Sunday - somewhat annoying...

Wheels that take impacts in directions that they are not intended to be strong - especially carbon fibre ones - fail.

Haussler weighs around 70kg, let's say his bike is another 7kg - travelling at 60kph? That's a pretty heavy impact for any wheel to take laterally. It looks like the carbon just cracked - at least ensuring that some of the energy from the collision went into that. I won't stop riding carbon rims because of it :-)

The other thing was - is it 11-25 that cassette? Can't quite read the back.

Is there noticeable wear on the RED cassette? And are they really as loud as people say? I've got Force on my road bike at the moment, but could do with another, and this is almost the same price as Force is.

Ta,

I've gone for the gel padded bar tape, on wide Deda bars. Unfortunately could not get my existing Profile Dromo which I rode @ Flanders to fit with new SRAM Red.

I am now pondering the pavé tyres.

I discussed riding the R3 with Sigma, who didn't seem too worried by the concept. And got it insured for racing.

After my ride today, I'm still thinking 260k.

Talking with Nhatt @ the Tour Series, she's doing 100k, or maybe 150k, with all sorts of changes! :-)

I was there, only a few pics as it was too cold for getting the camera out lots - http://rob.sh/img/team-sky-launch/

There was some nutter on fixed wearing shorts and a short sleeved top - mad! And I think I did hear mention of this forum.

It was a nice ride, had a good chat with Swifty and a few words with Wiggins and Dave Brailsford, worth taking the morning off work for.

Really sad to hear this, RIP Paul. From the nights in the pub, to fixing punctures on night rides, and stopping to help people pick you up after a crash, there's been some good memories.

James/Em et al, you should all be very proud of yourselves for the way you supported Paul. Thank you.

We were actually asking after him on Saturday in the Park, just saw Jacqui had mentioned this on Facebook -- very sad to hear.

All the best Paul, get well soon!

I do! Not for an Xmas present though, seriously need some stuff for my walls.

Rouleur's photography is lovely.

These are awesome, and I hope that the new ones are as good as the old ones.

I think I'll be quite happy paying for these, if they're of the same quality.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar videos (free/commercial)?

If there are any skilled linux sysadmins who would like to help me nail this rather than me just leaving me to wing it... then please let me know.

I can probably give a hand with this, and some space for off-site backups if you need them. I've got a couple of personal boxes in two different facilities in London.

Drop me a mail if I can be of any help.

I'll try and make it. Want to avoid crashing like last time I was out with you, James.

Giro TTT was close between THR and GRM I seem to remember -- perhaps a replay. I love watching TTT!

man, that's crap Johan - hope the shoulder is OK!

having been reminded by mike about this I find that the planets are aligning to enable me to do this so I'm in! One question though what time does the greenwich foot tunnel open? With a 7.30 start I don't really want to detour via tower bridge from blackheath.

Open 24x7, just the lifts open at 7AM and close at 7PM I believe.

I'm thinking of going for the end of the TdF, can anyone recommend somewhere I can take my bike to? (Planning to take it over on the Eurostar).

Does anyone know where I can actually try on some Oakley Radar Path? I keep going places and they don't have them -- don't want to drop almost £300 on some prescription ones before trying them! Vision Express in Chiswick have ordered me some to try, but that's going to be at least a week :-(

Yeah, but I'm going from West. Might just print out some maps.

cliveo: Will get you your bike bag asap. Maybe Tuesday?

At the risk of repeating the question on the other forum -- I guess you're riding over from Ealing? I will be too, if you fancy some company.

I was thinking of going to the recently re-opened Whitechapel Gallery over the weekend -- anyone been? (http://www.whitechapelgallery.org/)

Sorry to hear that Clive, sounds like one of those things unfortunately.

Hope you heal up soon -- looking forward to seeing you out (hopefully with RPLZ) when you're all healed up.

Hope this doesn't ruin your Tour of Ireland.

I cycled 80.25km today -- and Easts was well worth it. Thanks dudes!
