    For when taking a picture of the circumstance is more appealing than resolving the circumstance :-)

    LOL, yeah :)

    For the spoke, I did the descent then took the pic. Didn't wanna go over 40kph just in case. A nice descent ruined. I couldn't fix the wheel and didn't trust it to be fixed right so I ended up paying over the odds for a spare wheelset in some bike shop. Otherwise my cycling holiday was over. Turns out the mechanic was useless anyway cos he bodged swapping out the Shimano freehub with a Campag one and my wheel wouldn't freewheel properly. It meant the chain would go slack. That didn't help when descending Khutai the next day. Shame I hadn't noticed it on my test ride.

    Then for the puncture, my bro was carrying the pump and he had descended much faster than me, so after I finally got through on the phone I had to wait there while he climbed back up the mountain. Thankfully I was closer to the bottom than the top.

    Why is it that any bike designed by a luxury car manufacturer belongs in this thread?

    It's to make the cars look good. ;)

    This bicycle is made of cardboard, which is a "game-changer", reportedly.

    Looks like it was just lifted off a cycle path.

    Have two grotesquely buckled wheels? Why not fix them in this handy spot off the road here.

    It's the curvy bit around the rear wheel which skanks it for me. Just like this Cipo thing...

    I must have a dirty mind, I see a lady in the doggy position rather than a bike.

    Argh that is an absolute abomination. Trying to make it look like a fixie by only putting one brake lever on, but he's put on the WRONG brake and it's not even a single speed. Shameful stuff.

    It's like they didn't even try a little bit to make it pretty.
