Allegedly it wasn't him that crashed. Saw something earlier on FB

Not sure if it was him or not, it doesn't sound like he made out it was him, he was just laughing at the conversation:

How are you? How is the Bike? Let us continue.

ThisRegard

Yeah, he's basically saying it's a conversation with a cyclist after a crash, not him.

For some reason I thought if bike share worked in Dublin it would work anywhere. Not in China though.

I'm guessing given China's traditionally laissez-faire attitudes towards software and identity theft that the users have found a way of being practically untraceable, therefore there's nothing pushing them to be diligent with the bikes.

If the DB scheme didn't require a credit card to register, you'd equally find people abandoning bikes anywhere and everywhere.

Making them light enough to stack that tall without serious effort was their first error.

Mikel Landa is my new favourite rider. Cycling Weekly is a pile of horse shyte though:

"Cycling takes a much more modest approach with women hostesses compared to the paddock and grid girls of Moto GP and Formula One."
So that makes it ok then :rolleyes: :mad:

It's incredible this goes on in any race, never mind that in 2017 they're only just beginning to think of leaving this shyte behind :rolleyes: :rolleyes:.

I can't ever go there. Noting in my immediate vicinity would survive my encounter with them.
I'm sure they're not all bad. But life is so very short...

cf. the Golf magazine running an (annual) feature on 'the best looking women golfers'.
proves me right about my dislike of golf.

Have to admit I have a certain weakness for the annual farmers calendar, but then my excuse is that it's mainly satirical.

A local climb on strava after today

( I presume contract is now in the post )

Sorry Rob, but that road up to your house is not a mountain. Those other guys were also, as I understand it, quite literally pulling you up it on some promise of "special potion"

PS - some great scenery around my place today - can sea some Swans outside my window.....

Nice to see Hunny Bunny from Pulp Fiction doing the weather on the 6 news this evening.

I have a serious contender for The Darwin award!
Coming home (in the car) on the M1 last night and the contender on a motorbike came flying up on the outside with no lights just a hi viz vest. Weaving in and out of traffic at 120 kph. Was somewhat ok while on the lit section but once out of that section he became 'super ninja' very quickly.

Helmet and hi viz, sure isn't that what the RSA tell us is all we need?

Apparently I climbed a 2,227m wall today on my commute. Funny, I would have thought I'd have remembered something like that.

Maybe I shouldn't have updated the software on my Garmin.............:rolleyes:

I was thinking of cycling out to the Eurasia supermarket in Clondalkin, where apparently they have halal goat's meat and lots of delicious spices and treats; set out the route on http://brouter.de/brouter-web/ and the sight of the climb made me think again!

Well worth it for spicy goat, go for it! Oh, and pics and recipe for the final dish.

Lycra not good for the over 50s according to the Telegraph; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/01/23/avoid-tight-lycra-ageing-cyclists-warned/?WT.mc_id=tmgliveapp_iosshare_AnQ4VVc5w0Kp Not sure how well it applies to Irish weather, if at all.

Mr Leoz said that older people should not use heat-dissipating compression clothing, because it could increase the onset of hyperthermia - the raising of body temperature above the normal levels.

Say what? Heat dissipates yet the temperature raises?

Just some bad science writing to me, at least on the article side (as we don't know the study)

Not lycra so much as compression clothing.

Possibly useful to ageing Spanish triathletes.

And also only studies tops (not shorts, stockings etc)
Applied to exercising at 28 degrees C as well, not too sure that applies here all that often

Lesson learned form this research, in 66 year old cyclists wearing an extra layer keeps you warmer. when cycling in the heat...

I was wondering where the "Free Melania" meme was coming from.

Ok, there is something very wrong with my Edge 520. As above, yesterday morning it told me I did 2,227m on my commute in. On the way home it said I did 2,200m. This morning it claims I did 2,185m. The reality is in fact about 35m.

Why has it suddenly gone bat-sh1t crazy? Has the sea-level shifted in the last 48 hours and I didn't notice? I upgraded the software last week but the first couple of days were ok, it's only since yesterday. Any ideas oh wise ones?

Just do a hard reset and it when its going through setup again make sure its out in the open so it has a clear path to the gps satellites. I usually leave mine on the window sill at this stage.

Looks like it got the elevation difference right but started off from the wrong elevation point.
