    Question What Tires should I consider Buying?

    Your forecast does not look good. If it goes ahead, have a good ride and I hope the Panaracers perform. Have fun. Our forecast does not look a great deal better but I have a VTTA annual lunch to drive to, with suitable trinkets to collect. That will keep the bike tyres nice!

    Question What Tires should I consider Buying?

    I have been wondering where our enquirer has gone. It seems a bit rude to go on a forum and request suggestions, but then to disappear after one additional post! My version of the LGG was in the black sidewall variety and I only want them for the roads. This time of year, where I live, the...

    I believe "he" is a "she" (mentioned for accuracy only and not that that it should matter) and sadly, her recent insistence on not answering reasonable comments on her post is as bizarre as the comments made by her previously in non-Clinic areas in relation to the weather in Yorkshire and the...

    To be fair, he was a little unlucky that nobody was there to flag it. I ride time trials myself and one particular concrete road is patched in black. At my speeds (so much less than his) I can't always spot in time whether it's a patch or a hole, the latter to be avoided. Neverthelesss he...

    Probably should be "take part" but journos' use of English is not what it was.

    Clearly you would be surprised, but some people clearly do beliieve it. It's a bit like thinking the Americans never landed on the moon. Some people think they can justify it must in the eyes of most of us they fail.

    2019 UCI Road World Championships Men's Road Race : 284.5km

    Interesting and amusing. In East Anglia at least it may perhapps mean opening, but also indicates "street." I suppose that is not very far from the original meaning.

    Good for him. Many congratulations to him and to Denmark. Yes, you do have to look quite hard for the Danish hills but it does not seem to have done him any great harm on this course.
