Glad to see this thread is still going. It is a new year and it looks like both of my kids have goals with my son looking to finish his third century and my daughter wanting to get ride as well. Hopefully tomorrow my daughter's cycling shoes will be in and I can take her out on her first ride in...

It seems that playing xBox can cause it too I just noticed a story this morning about a gamer who died a blood clot from sitting in front of his xBox too long. http://news.yahoo.com/xbox-addict-dies-blood-clot-111934041.html I doubt anyone here would think he was using EPO.

My first real laugh of the day :D

According to the Hamilton interview, if you ride clean you sacrifice your ability to compete.

It is just another way of attempting to claim they are preventing corruption but finding out who not to hire - and it will work both way (depending on which party is in power to hire). As far as the claim that this is an effort to insure "transparency"... I guess I should probably leave this...

I guess you have to add a certain number of lines just to indicate your enjoyment of a particular comment :D

I have Carbon Clinchers - paid about $1150 new. They weigh 1500 grams (just a little less than Race X Lites and Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL). The sidewalls are very thick, they cannot take more than 120 pounds of pressure according to the warning sticker, it is more difficult to take the tires on and...

I got a great deal on some Spinergy clincher wheels and use them fairly regularly. I suppose I should be concerned with them failing at speed but I like them over rough roads much better than the aluminum wheels that I have available since they are smoother, slightly lighter, and they look kind...

Thanks for the laugh :D

I would consider this rack the best 1upUSA has IMO the best rack out there in design and function. I spent several weeks researching and ended up with the rack because it holds the tires instead of the frame (my old Yakima rack scratched my newest bike because it held onto the frame), it...

2012 is not supposed to be a very good year for anyone: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-03-27-maya-2012_n.htm

BMC is a corporation and the team is a rolling advertisement. Phinney riding the TdF is great press in the US for BMC and so I would not be surprised if we see him there. As far as his progression as a rider, most here don't think he is ever going to compete for the GC, therefore the experience...

I suspect those with a liberal philosophy are cringing when they read what you write, I know I do when someone claiming a conservative philosophy makes such unfounded and inarticulate comments.

I guess you should have posted one of the other articles that indicates he was a Republican then rather than the one you posted. But what you are writing here suggests that he was not a republican at all, just a nut (which is evidenced by his behavior).

You are mistaken (the question is whether you are intentionally mistaken).
