Christophe' Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 something to boast about? i think not!no not boasting at all!it wasnt very pleasant at all, in fact very shocking.but it was ages ago, so now can look back and laugh.

Nick Manning Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) he cudda bunnyhopped over the dog.......thick C*nt!I wouldn't call him a thick C*nt. Have you ever tried to bunnyhop a road bike? It's flipping hard, and it would be impossible to get the height needed to clear the dog.That clip is slowed down, so in realtime, the rider had no chance of avoiding the dog as the rider would have been focused on whats ahead, not what happening to the side of him.

JaMmY Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 The wheel on the bike got crushed as it hit the dog but yep poor dog!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 That owner wonts shoting, he didnt even look like he was going to say anything to the rider or help him up.Tom...That probably wasn't the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 There could have been more bikes coming?Presuming he wasn't the owner and he was just getting the dog out of the way so no more damage was done. He could have been a very nice man who went to help the cyclist after the cameraman had stopped filming. It would have been rude to stand there and carrying on filming after all.However, i would like to believe it was his dog and he did a runner. We can't be sure.

PaRtZ Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 maybe its just me but, did he apply the brakes at all in that incident? lolif he had, maybe he wouldn't have absolutly destroyed his wheel and just put a buckle in it instead ah well i cant believe how riduclously weak those rims are. fair enough lightness and all that but thats why i deteste roadies, theres no use for their bikes except on road conditions. Every other bike (including trials bikes) can be used to ride to and from places over "Bumps" and theirs can't because the frames are designed to take vertical motion.meh sorry im angry, had a drive by shouting from a gang of chavs in a transit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 If I was trying to win the Tour De France, one of the most prestigious cycling trophies in the world, I don't think I'd give a shit if my bike could take a speedbump or not? Should Vincent Hermance bolt a full XTR groupset onto his bike so he can ride long distances on it too? They're just specialised for their task, same as every other bike.Gotta love how the dog got twatted upside the head by the seat too, shit luck!
