Shrodinger's helmet, used to suffer from that myself a bit until I got the B17

Good name for an off topic thread tbh..

Added the Charleville 2 day Lantern Rouge to my palmares yesterday. A hilly/mountainous 2 day 3 stage race at the end of the season probably isn't the best race to pick as your first open race of the year.

On the plus side, I beat the 60 lads who didn't finish.

Roll on cx!!

We should all stop posting in it so and clog up other threads with off topicness.

Financial times article on cycling helmets. Will irritate some here.

"Cycling to work without a helmet? Please think again"

Actually if you want irritation this from the comments on that article.

Poor man "wasted half a day" giving first aid assistance to a bloody cyclist who cycled into his opening door.....


Just a few weeks ago a cyclist hit a door of my parked car. She fall of her bicycle, cut an elbow and almost lost caution of seeing her own blood. I was in a car and being shocked by a fact "it could be my fault", wasted a half day helping that lady with first aid, answering police questions and wondering why that happen to me but not a some kind of boris-johnson.
You know what she told me afterwards? She told me this is not the first time she was riding too close to parked cars and as result was knocked off her bicycle by a slightly opened door. So next time I'd leave such a "cycling enthusiast" to bleed to his/her death and release some road space to more responsible people who:
1. Pay road tax
2. Have insurance
3. Obey rules
4. And happily left cycling in sweet memories of adolescence

Doesn't irritate me - it's behind a paywall;)

Hope the next cyclist he doors has a camera and he's done for every penny of insurance.

Must have been going some pelt to put a dent in the car!

ThisRegard

Cars dent pretty easy these days given the materials they're now made of.

Johann Sebastian Bach used to re-use material a lot too.

His cello suite no. 5, BWV 1011, for example is the same as his lute suite BWV 995.

So the sticky bottle have an illustrious predecessor.

eeeee

And? It happens, big deal, no one's making you read it again!

You bring this up a lot. I suggest you contact stickybottle yourself and take it up with them, constantly groping about it here does nothing about it. You get the same reaction every time you post something like this too which makes me wonder what's to be gained from doing so!

Constant groping should definitely be a banable offence!

Offer asking on the constant groping.
