Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

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.0 -

It's to make the cars look good.
This bicycle is made of cardboard, which is a "game-changer", reportedly.

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

I suppose there are lots of rat-bikes out there. Someone is trying to sell this on eBay at the 'mo.

I know it's ugly, but if I saw someone at a track meet with that bike I would probably think it was the coolest bike there

Not if I'm cycling. I do my best to remove those layers. Quite good at it too.0 -

From the Dublin crimes against bicycles file.
Passed another case of this today but I made a ham sandwich of the photo.
That has become the most fashionable thing in Paris. First time I saw it, I thought about mentioning it to the rider, in case he didn't know it wasn't supposed to be this way (just as forks shouldn't be fitted backwards.). But then, I noticed that this seems to be the rule more than the exception.
What a carnage. For a lover of vintage racing bikes, seing so many lovely old Peugeots -- and others -- destroyed in this fashion is so painful.0 -
As we were saying over here, it's actually a nod to something Graeme Obree did while he was developing his aero position. But I'm pretty sure most people who do it now have probably never heard of Obree...

Well I was just thinking that when people first started upturning their bars, it was a reference to Obree, but probably most people you see doing it now are just copying something they saw like you said.
Obree was all about reducing drag by minimizing his frontal area. When he hunched himself over upturned drop handlebars, it looked something like his "Old Faithful" bike:
