State of the forum 2026

You... brake with your hands when walking?
I'm concerned.
Please explain.

No because I‘m not Danish. I presume most Danish people don‘t do it either but I haven‘t met many and I know of one who did that before.

It's definitely not a tradition among my people!

It's generally only kids and old ladies that have those in Denmark nowadays.

I had one until yesterday.

Kid?

 

[hrotha]

I'm so unfamiliar with this concept I thought you literally pedalled backwards which would look goofy af, now I know better but I'm afraid I'm still biased by my preconception

I don't think that's quite true... It's common for cheap city bikes.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Where did Gregrowlerson go

 

[Psycat]

It appears it's a Danish thing.
Just seems more logical to me; locomotion controlled by your legs.
I mean... when you're walking you don't brake with your hands either! Do you?

Do you?

Do you?

Quite common in Sweden aswell.

The annual Red Rick ban just before the Tour has happened. All we need now is the UCI rolling out some poor guy to prove they're tough on doping, and the Tour Circus is under way!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

A time when long forgotten forum members return to heap ridicule and wax nostalgically about races long, long ago. Aah July ...🙂

Long and new come everything year, truly a forum miracle.

I have the feeling this Tour will bless the forum with many new faces. Especially the clinic. The stars all align (just look at Pogacars and Vingegaards demonstrations), and the messiah is coming as well.

"The End of an Error"

What is going on?

Also the state of the Forum is very calm before the storm like.

I think in the coming week we can expect an announcement of a doping violation by a low-level member, per TdF tradition.

The weird speculative article about esoteric methods I'm looking forward to. Sniffing marker pens boosting blood levels complete with a photo of Gianetti looking shifty leaving the local stationary box.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I had considered doing a Pozzovivo and take some of those former or current posters that have had issues with avoiding bans under my wings in order to make myself look clean(z), but now that helping Alex Schwazer learn the errors of his ways has seemingly proved an impossible task, I'm glad I never reached out to the likes of Logic and mou.

 

[Rob5091]

I'm just hoping Rozman turns up at the Tour, as a FU to the ITA and UCI.

 

[YellowSocks]

Now we're all afraid to get caught. Thank you.

"The End of an Error"

Alright, fess up...
Did you do that on purpose?

Yes. It's what I read.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes. It's what I read.

Wha'da'ya mean what you read?

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I suppose Red Rick nuked the Forum After the Dutch lost at the World Cup overnight

What's going on with Ricky? Hopefully he'll be back celebrating the Tour with us! (in his own unique way)

Edit: I just saw his avatar. Has he left or been banned? This is a big loss to the forum.

He's posted something in the Roglic thread since he had this Avatar, so there is hope. It would indeed be a big loss for the forum. Who knows, he might just be on a nice vacation.
