    Pure class. I love it when people judge a book by the cover and never actually read in between.

    So, as I was cycling to work this morning into a brisk NW breeze, I slowly overtook a woman doing about 30+kph on a sit up and beg bike. "Nice pace you're doing".

    So we got chatting, turns out she regularly brings the kids about the place on a Dutch cargo bike. That would explain the awesome power...

    Fair play to the lads from here who posted in that Louth thread about cyclists (here) . Argued the point well and even managed to persuade one or maybe two to see it from a cyclist's perspective.

    Now that's a knee injury.

    Beach soccer was on after the stage earlier today.
    Any player that caught sight of this ran in the opposite direction with their head in their hands.

    Newbie question:

    My tyres say 700-23c on them. What exactly does this mean?

    (I ask because I'm looking to buy a spare inner tube).

    Does that mean this would do the job:

    For a moment I thought I was missing the Tour de Suisse. Then I wondered how someone managed to crash on the beach...

    Out of here with your non-cycling photos! :p

    Also, that is gross.

    specialized takeover of the pro peleton continues

    http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/team-sky-to-ride-specialized-bikes-in-2013?
    According to a report in L'Equipe this morning, Team Sky could possibly end their association with Italian bike manufacturers Pinarello and may sign an agreement with US giants Specialized. The paper goes as far as to claim that the agreement would be worth an estimated six million Euros per year to the British team.

    700 is the wheel size (standard size for a road bike, although there are smaller 650 wheels)

    23 is the tyre width

    The tube you linked is 18-25, so will fit in any tyre between 18 and 25mm in width and will therefore fit the tyre you have

    What's happened there? The kneecap pushed sideways is it? I worked with a guy once who said he was playin football when his kneecap came loose and it somehow managed to end up going round the side of the joint & settled in the back of his knee. Said it wasn't as sore as you might think.

    That does look like a displaced knee cap. It's very easy to rupture ligaments when it happens, needs to be treated carefully and not just popped back into place.

    I've dealt with a couple of GAA/rugby players and it looks painful enough.

    What the what? Why is Eurosport showing the football? I know it's Euro, but it's available to watch in so many other places! I DEMAND constant reruns of the Dauphine and Tour de Suisse!

    Did you get that online or in a bricks and mortar shop?
    I always find it difficult to source at a reasonable price.

    I think he might only write them for the Grand Tours. Can't find it there myself, I'll check the paper paper at lunch.
