New Garmin 2000 offers text messaging, Whatsapp, Netflix and Spotify.

One of the things I like about me bike is the lack of Whatsapp, Netflix.......

I hope they keep making a 500 like unit for a bit longer.

500 is still, hands down, the best Garmin out there.

Some of next years proteam jerseys have been released with a few noticeable changes
AG2R - Is suppose less brown can only be a good thing


BIG Changes for Etixx but not sure about the lidl logo



IAM Cycling


Androni seem to have toned things down a bit


Movistar - A subtle change but Valvarde's national champions jersey is a disgrace




A few more are due out in the coming weeks and rumours of a major change to the fluoro Tinkoff kit

Raam

Movistar are very protective of the jersey and bike colours from what I hear. They pays the wages and Valverde is the big star so they want their logo and colours to be prominent on him.

ThisRegard

I always thought that AG2R's jersey got unnecessarily bad press.

Lovely IAM kit again. Rumours that Katusha are switching to black.

Agree about the IAM kit.

Sneak previews i have seen suggest that the katusha kit will be predominately red

eeeee

I actually preferred this years IAM kit, it looks very white, not a fan of that. Great design though.

I don't mind the Movistar kit, but Valverde's Nat Champs kit just looks badly designed, I don't mind its lack of prominence. The white again just looks bad IMO.

The Etixx jersey and shorts don't 'go' together. I know they're limited with sponsors but the black striping on the jersey going into nothing but a lidl square is a bit jarring/shyte looking.

AG2R I quite like, I don't mind the brown at all and the white is nice on it.

Yeah the 2015 IAM kit was lovely, although I think there's too many dark kits at the moment.

A major change indeed



Apparently it is only the training kit like the camo kit early last year

eeeee

Wow. It's both awesome and awful.

I just can't warm to the flouro.

I'm torn.
I shop in Lidl, so should support Etixx,
But I have a Canyon so should support Moviestar or that other team that uses Canyon.

Anyways, which of the following two would be a better precycle food:
A version of pasta carbonara made with those little tube like pastas bits or A meaty filled lasagna?

The lasagna?

Anyone?

We're going with: A version of pasta carbonara made with those little tube like pastas bits for dinner and the other for breakfast.

Always go with the beat of your drum.

Meaty Lasagna twice.

H.E. Pennypacker

Carbonara (without cream, as its meant to be) would probably be a better precycle snack. Lasagne would be a better post cycle recovery food, especially with chips and maybe a glass of red...

Damn, you're just a day too late to put in a request for the Dublin Development Plan to include a roofed cycle route to the Sally Gap, the Blessington Lakes and home.

Or an indoor area (the size of 6 stadiums) with variable ramps that can automatically replicate any route. Anyone wants to invest in my idea? We only need a few hundred millions to make this and it will probably start paying back within two lives.

Don't forget the Soylent-Green-style giant screens showing bog cotton blowing in the breeze (artificially produced breeze included®) and distant deer raising antlered heads to watch as the cyclist speeds by on the ramp.
