    Poll: Should the Babes on Bike thread have been removed?

    Just another assault by the Political Left on our freedom and on our culture. This survey clearly shows a radical minority are influencing events way beyond their remit. We can thank them all for the bland, homogenous, sexless, humorless world we now live in.

    RE: transgender women racing against women.

    Re: All that is wrong with the world is right there in the moderator's opening statement... Encourages a debate on the issue. Then threatens a permanent ban for "Wrongthink". Wow. I would suggest the moderator should remain independent and not be taking such an extremist left wing position on...

    2019 Tour de Suisse

    Degenkolb not happy he was bumped off the wheel like that by Sagan. And tbh I think he has a point. Where do you draw the line?

    2014 Giro d'Italia: Stage 3: Armagh - Dublin, 187km

    I made a rough calculation of the sprinter's speeds from 150m out based on: The distance to go signs. The helicopter shots The official race time clock A couple of different videos for different angles and landmarks. I make it as Swift: 60km/h Kittel: 63.5km/h It was slightly up hill and...

    Fred Season Comes early to soCal...

    But at least they're getting out and exercising aren't they? It's better than sitting in front of the TV and getting fat like the rest of society? At the end of the day we all share this passion for cycling which can only be good for cycling. And it doesn't bother me at all that someone gets...

    2014 Tour of Qatar, 9th - 14th February (2.HC)

    Hepburn beat Turbo Durbo in the National ITT a few weeks ago, something that no-one was expecting.. including himself. I watched him race 1.5 weeks ago here locally. Despite being a really windy day, he was in a break of 4 doing 48-51km/h laps. The thing that impressed me the most though was...

    Pros & Cons of a Vegan Diet for Weight Loss & Cycling Performance?

    Really, one of the worst posts I've read in here. No argument. No information. No accuracy. Just a pile of personal insults driven from a deep sense of hatred. I'd hate to be so negative, life would be depressing.

    Underpants!!

    I wear something like that but longer, nearly as long as my bib shorts. Tight fitting Sports underwear shorts. No seams, no chafing, no riding up, no chamois cream required, everything held in place. Have been doing it for years. Don't care what the Fashionista Police say, it's a far better...

    Australian National Road Championships - Ballarat, 8-12 January 2014

    I saw an interview where Evans said he made a few solo moves that were heavily marked by OGE and Drapac. On TV I didn't see any of this. Then there was the flat tyre. I'm tending to think Evans had a harder race than it looked.

    The crank length thread

    A 40W increase for shorter cranks, no refs, no explanation given, sample size of 1? I'll run with the Martin study on that one thanks. I must admit however I find the aero argument a slightly compelling one. If I read Martin right he supports the idea too? And yes I understand that aero...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    When handing out these bans they have a checksheet. Does the evidence say he doped? Yes Did he cooperate? No Etc I'm not sure "Was he a bast**d" is on the checksheet? Then what of those who helped him and advised him? Where are their bans? Yeah pretty much they did. Irrelevant: We don't...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Nice analogy but it's not the same thing. Leipheimer has already made the statement under oath and there is a very high chance that one day USADA will release the name. If it really was Horner he would either confess all or keep his mouth shut. Even Lance would be issuing no comments at this...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Chris Horner says it's not him. Chris Horner will lose everything if he is later found out to have lied about this. And sure as the sun comes up in the morning, it will be found out. The Sherlocks in the Clinic say otherwise. The Sherlocks will lose nothing if they are later found out to...

    The Powermeter Thread

    Lol Alex, I forgot about your bionic leg. (even though it's right there on your photo) And I thought I had an exclusive arrangement with Oscar G? I don't want my bionic leg secrets getting out. Look what happened to Pistorius after Oliveira "bugged" his blades with a PM.
