Thanks for sharing . This really isn't the 'where can I illegally download Lost episodes' thread .

I'm |-| this close to pulling out a full blown, Jean Luc Picard facepalm... and it'll be well deserved.

Awful news from the F2 race at Brands Hatch today. Henry Surtees, 18 year old son of 1964 F1 World Champion John was killed when a stray wheel from a separate accident hit him on the head at ~120mph. He was rendered unconscious immediately and has since died in hospital. Thoughts are with his family...

That's pretty damn nice! Not sure about the bar/stem setup and not a big fan of the saddle but they're minor complaints! Very stealth .

I do if I can see it's clear and the road allows it... Carried through from my days in the minivan when acceleration really wasn't a strong point. Edit: Not in a 30 limit though. I tend to stick to the limit (there or thereabouts) in built up areas but on 50 or national limit roads with roundabouts it's fair game .

Linky.

What's it got to do with acceleration? Momentum baby, momentum!

To be honest, if the three caps being sent as prizes were individually weighed I bet they wouldn't all come out as 3.03g... Controversy?

That stem... No wonder you didn't get on with the bike Clifford!!

Touché.

'Cos it's fun? Roundabouts are just chicanes to be taken as fast as possible* *Provided it's safe to do so and there's no one else/cops around.

Looks like it's set up to go up steep hills like a funicular rail thing.

+1

My guess is not.

If they're out in front they should just line up next to each other and block the road so no one can get past anyway... They wouldn't even need to go fast then Edit: I haven't seen any of the coverage (apart from Cav getting his knickers in a twist yesterday) so didn't know that was what Thor's up to.

To be honest it's a race and whatever the cycling ethics involved, I don't see a problem with it unless he refuses to share the load and spend his time at the front of the train. Even as a non cyclist I can see that just tagging along behind them all and conserving energy would be just plain rude. And please, Chris, for the love of Jebus,

If it was just a laser speed gun (i.e. it wasn't an actual camera just a read out for them to see) then there's no proof of the offence and so nothing will come of it. The gun may have given them an error reading or something so they couldn't do anything about it. Usually when it's cops like that they'd have someone up the road ready to pull you over and issue the ticket on the spot... don't quote me on that though!!

Your mum.

Damn you, just saw that. My brain somehow managed to miss that bit .

One of the things with the Keirin is that the Japs gamble hugely on it though isn't it? It ain't normal I tell thee.

At least they actually keep on moving on the tour... some of those velodrome events at the Olympics are just completely f**ked up. A race where you go really f**king slow for the first 2000m and actually stop and trackstand for periods and then finally sprint the final lap and no more. Why not just do the last lap and be done with it? And don't get me started on the one where you have 100 people and a 1920's motorbike going round...

Man, you're right! He even has the Green jersey Mark's after... And that picture mentions pills
