For people (like me) thinking carbon frames are too fragile :pac:

(forward to 5:00 for the Swing-a-carbon-frame-into-a-concrete-block test)

Cycle touring in Norway. I'd highly recommend it if you get the chance.

He used to do the cycling commentary for RTE as the expert along side Jimmy Magee.
That him all right, not a bad commentator at all tbf.

Football commentary meets considerate white van driver.

Luckiest and also one of the dumbest.. It was like he was deliberately trying to stay in the drivers blind spot.

Idiot. 100% cyclist error. He pretty much Hung in the blind spot. Lucky doesn't even to begin to describe it. :rolleyes:

Hmmzis · 23-12-2014 9:24pm

Now I want to see someone do that on a penny farthing.

sorry if repost but...

pelevin · 31-12-2014 3:34pm

Thanks for putting it up but afraid for me that latest Road Bike Party really lacks the magic of the last one - maybe something of a combination of the music, all the slow-motions.

Alek · 31-12-2014 3:36pm

Nah, it must be the soulless Ridley.

Have to agree, I think they're kind of jumping the shark with this one. The first one was amazing because it was kind of the first of it's kind, and the second one worked because it was so touching for the guys to pitch in after Ashton's injury. This one just doesn't have a point I think, it's just any other stunt video.

Has this been posted yet?

Utter respect.

Sarz91 · 05-01-2015 9:37pm

Was back home over the Christmas and brought the Garmin Virb back with me. I recorded some of the rides and edited a few clips. It's in no way very good at all but might be decent for those looking at getting a Garmin Virb.

Go Bertie! Poor Matt Stephens, and he's a fit guy. :eek:

It must be amazing to get to see up close the power that these guys have and how effortless it all is to them. While Matt is of course well off what he was back in the day I would hazard a guess that he would hold his own against most cyclists. But Bertie (and the other top guys) are simply another level (many levels).

I would be awesome to see it first hand.

Saw it on the Hautacam this year, the difference between Nibali, the polka dot jersey group and the rest was frightening! I'll edit up a clip and post it.

2 Wheels Good · 16-01-2015 6:53pm

Easier than I thought. Stage 18, Hautacam about 3km from the finish. The difference between Nibali, the chasing polka dot and the rest was unreal to see.

eeeee · 20-01-2015 7:49pm

This is class. Man it's tight in there!

Zyzz · 21-01-2015 9:45pm

First attempt at editing a cycling related video, GoPro is literally stuck to my helmet with a sticky mount and some tape :pac:

*Watch in HD or it looks like I recorded it with a potato.

How the flep did he and the IAM guy in front of him survive this? Ouch:

rizzodun · 23-01-2015 9:35pm

From a different angle, in slow motion, wow, I know these crashes can be brutal but I'd probably never enter a race again if I was caught up in something like that...

Alek · 23-01-2015 9:43pm

Funnier side of crashing

rab!dmonkey · 24-01-2015 1:48pm

That video is years old. Here's the original.

it's the guy in red on the far side at 15s you feel sorriest for; he had his own little crash simply because he was distracted by the main crash.

Kinet1c · 25-01-2015 10:56am

Probably in the thread already but sure worth another look.

Alek · 28-01-2015 11:10pm

So extremely stupid, yet so compelling!

Manage to watch 4 minutes before I got too mad to watch anymore. What a pack a pillocks. Cause buses and vehicles to swerve and coming into blindspots out of no where.
On a side note, as an avid cyclist if anyone cut me off on a pedestrian crossing when they had a red or used my car as handrail...they'd be walking home and I'd have a new bike.

Incredible bike handling skills, but just a ridiculous attitude to personal safety, health and the safety of innocent bystanders.
