Welcome to the Republic of Lebensraum.....



......the BundesDail

Wonder when the Garda will be getting their new uniforms and for once our army will have decent tanks.

We'll also have measurably better sports teams and personalities to support now.

Yes the Germans never cheat, just look at the swimmers, runners, track and field teams and in cycling we have the icons like Schumacher, Ullrich (though I still like him !!), Telekom, Gerolsteiner and many more......

Their comedians aren't meant to be great but then again they couldn't be any worse than some that we have.

What was that business of having a tour using the name and branding of Pulp's Common PeopleDifferent Class? Very strange. I think I'll go on a tour of Ireland playing classical guitar and call it Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Well you know what they say about German humour.
Not very funny but the timing is impeccable!

Germans take their comedy very seriously.

JOKES FROM GERMANY

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
The police. I'm afraid there's been an accident. Your husband is in
hospital.

A man walks into a pub.
He is an alcoholic whose drink problem is destroying his family.

Did you hear about the blonde who jumped out off a bridge?
She was clinically depressed and took her own life because of her terribly
low self-esteem.

What do you call a cat with no tail?
A Manx cat.

Why do undertakers wear ties?
Because their profession is very serious, and it is important that their
appearance has a degree of gravitas.

How many electricians does it take to change a light bulb?
One.

Why do women fake orgasms?
Because they want to give men the impression that they have climaxed.

Two men are sitting in a pub.
One man turns to the other and says: 'Last night I saw lots of strange men
coming in and out of your wife's house.'
The other man replies: 'Yes, she has become a prostitute to subsidise her
drug habit.'

Two cows are in a field. Suddenly, from behind a bush, a rabbit leaps out
and runs away.
One cow looks round a bit, eats some grass and then wanders off.

Why are there no aspirin in the jungle?
Because it would not be financially viable to attempt to sell
pharmaceuticals in the largely unpopulated rainforest.

If Steve McQueen couldn't escape the Germans - what chance have we? We're not nearly as cool and we lack his bike handling skills........

this part here interests me: "A pedal-based system also offers direct measurement of left-right specific power output. That could be useful in correcting pedaling inefficiencies and imbalances, or in training to recover from injury, says Polar's bicycle product manager and former pro racer Joona Lauka"

There's already a thread somewhere on the Polar system. The great thing for me about the pedal based systems is they should be easily transferrable to a track bike.

On the measurement of left/right power output, this is already available on the Wattbike trainer, and they have one of those down at Sundrive;)

Of course, that ad is showing a 4 month delivery time, which may still be a bit optimistic

Much as it pains me to say this, a recumbent design might be more ergonomic.

Hans 'No Way' Rey and Steve Peats tour of Ireland back in 2006 IIRC. He has some good videos on youtube.

I think that ledge subsequently collapsed - I'm not saying the two events are linked, only that it happened.

Shure they're wearing helmets won't they be grand???

Yeah, but where are their lights/RSA bibs? Looks a bit foggy.

Bunnyhopper

And I'm not seeing pedal reflectors on either of those bikes.
