    Should you pay to watch the Olympic RoadRace?

    Possibly the self portrait of the moron who did this, I hope that it has gone by August.

    Should you pay to watch the Olympic RoadRace?

    Best seat I think the simple fact is that if they did not charge for admission the crowds would become unmanageable and thus present a hazard situation on the hill. By charging admission this problem will be avoided. Actually although I am going over there next month I shall have the best...

    It just will not go away so once again I can only repeat: I wonder if a survey was to be done among the pro riders just how many actually use the position or condemn the guys who do. Absolutely no one likes to fall off and the older one gets the harder we hit the ground. It really is just...

    Well thanks for that new poll whoever created it, and had I got more experience it would have been like that from the start. Now we can literally see your true colours. Made my day!!

    Simulated Tri-bars

    OK boys and girls I think that maybe it is time to put this one to bed, just in case you have just entered the arena the original two option poll was as follows: 1. ban the simulated tri-bar position or 2. allow short round tri-bars in road events as was the case a few years ago. I think that...

    Lukinox that made me LOL what has hairy legs got to do with the topic? Now there is another poll in the making, however, I stopped shaving mine about 30 years ago but it certainly enhanced the appearance of mine hence the Nom de Plume. Incidentally over the years there have been many enforced...

    OK Amp300 I take your point, it was just a touch of humour from an old cyclist who is surround by a pack of angry beginners. I shall just back off now and leave it to 'the experts' Not happy today as a good mate who is a past champion had a heart attack on Sunday whilst riding and is now in a...

    Oh dear I am so sorry Susan because I thought that I was the one being insulted just for simply asking two very simple questions. That just goes to show how wrong one can be.

    Simulated Tri-bars

    I was out for a ride with my wife this morning and she is 74 so we actually total 149 years together. Now after I mentioned this thread to her she kept on taking her hands off the bars and waving them around and she even scratched my back a few times and then got my phone out of my back pocket...

    And now a year later you have recovered and we are all very pleased for you, now football other than soccer (which is game of skill) is another subject completely. Happy 13th birthday by the way.

    That is fortunately only your opinion and I really do not think that much importance is being paid to that. OMG I do love winding you up, must be like a very taught spring right now. Anyway do have a safe day on the road.

    Simulated Tri-bars

    Actually that is usually when a Kangaroo will leap across the road and bring him down. But seriously when that does happen (sitting up) I become extra cautious and move away from him. One can't be too careful when riding with people who have no regard for their mates. I have had many crashes in...
