    Wigans goes there. Cadence!

    Nice find! I think that I have emulated that identical dismount once or thrice in my past. When suitably knackered, it's quite simple to execute...that and catching your lead foot while attempting to hurdle a barricade. Good times!

    Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

    I would like to "second" Adamski's comment here about the sometimes benign nature of long-dormant account holders motives. My posts here are extremely rare, however, I do love to peruse (lurk, if you prefer?) the often entertaining/amusing/informative various sub-forums of this site. It is...

    Amgen's unethical practices

    Thanks Dave, Wikipedia can be your friend! A lot of interesting (though head shaking) information there.

    Amgen's unethical practices

    I hope that I'm not calling you out here D-Queued, but as I was reading the article it triggered a memory of something that you had posted a couple of years ago on that other (Daily Peloton) forum regarding the off-label marketing and tacit encouragement of the illicit product usage by some of...

    Big Thanks to Race Radio

    Appreciation, also, to the many other posters here I just joined this morning and I've never lurked here:rolleyes: - but I have long enjoyed reading RR's insightful, considered, and perscient posts. During his brief hiatus from this forum, I followed his twitter postings, but the 140-character...

    Official lance armstrong thread, part 2 (from september 2012)

    I've always admired your username JMBeau, but while catching up with this thread, this (the bolded) epic turn of phrase caught my eye! I've memorized it and I hope a situation will soon arise where I can use it to devastating effect...with full attribution to you, of course.:D

    From a doping point of view, what do you expect Froom in the vuelta?

    Although I strongly agree with your comment re: Froome's current 3rd place standing (especially considering his Tour/Olympic state of peak form - I know, "never really peaking, just maintaining 95% of peak form all season-long" :rolleyes:), I disagree with the bolded portion. I'm not certain...

    New Clinic Visitor - Daniel Chew

    You're absolutely right, of course. That entire aesthetic is not one that I would care to emulate. I had the pleasure of being on a couple of rides with John Howard, and yes, he did reek of cycling pro style. Very lean and hella-strong. I remember riding down to the Santa Monica Pier to see the...

    New Clinic Visitor - Daniel Chew

    I've lurked here for many years, but I feel that I need to pipe up and defend Michael's honor on this one. Even though he may have dressed the part, "Fred" is not a moniker that I would assign to Michael's riding abilities. He would often be found cruising along competently enough on the...

    Is the entire NFL community this naive?

    After reading the comments at the end of the article, no, it does not appear that "the entire NFL community is that naive." Whether the player's union will ever permit the transparent testing regimens which might remove the naivete from those still clinging to the idea that PED's are solely a...
