Imagine just how psyched I get when I see a hill :D
Sometimes you need to stretch your legs.
Nice, thats a proper ride that.
My bike is on the shop for some maintenance. Planning a century in celebration of our reunion.
Fresh flat flippin' tarmac... We don't have much else here in the Netherlands and you won't find me in the woods ;)
TT hill climb tonight, I hope my legs have recovered well enough to put in a respectable time.
If you want some mountains, you can borrow some from here. :-D
If a car hits and kills a cyclist in NYC the NYPD ticket cyclists at that intersection for a week after. Its disgusting.
NYPD will set up stop and tickets for days after. It's gross
That thread you created contains pretty much exactly as much fuckery as I expected.
I'm still fairly convinced that people mostly hate cyclists because...
A: The media tells them to.
B: They occasionally lose 10 seconds passing them.
C: They'd also like to be able to weave through traffic when it's busy.
Man reading some of the replies to Lonely1's thread about the Guardian video from above.... Good Lawd. It kinda validates the video's thesis.
Sometimes this forum can really lack in critical thinking.

Nice video, and man the Thread you created just shows how on point the video is. It's a bit scary reading that stuff then going out on the commute....
Nice work.
Yeah 2 weeks back when it was actually warm here the flies where out in force. especially besides the river where my commute takes me and on the trail. I need to get some decent cycling glasses, either something decent and cheap in clear / yellow and a darker one or a not super expensive one with changable glasses.
Damn thats quite the effort, grats!
Oh my lord, the thread you made gets the most uninformed and downright stupid responses...
Cheers guys, just got back from a little leg loosener. These are the Hill climb (plus warming up etc) and the last ride stats.
TT
Leg loosener
194.8 mile & 16,906ft @ 17.1mph average, so far since Monday's 114.4 mile ride. Going to try and get out tomorrow too.
Uh... I, like, rode 12 miles today...
The hardest part of riding a bike, is getting on it in the first place. :-)
One of my fav parts!
I love to get all zen and half drunk in the garage fixing my bikes
I have very limited spare time, so it's not something I tend to be able to just amble my way through.
Every other post in that thread backs up my decision never to road ride.
I feel 10x safer literally falling down the sides of mountains than in the company of people that are happy to drive aggressively because you're daring to delay them.

lol yep. Sold my road bike when I moved to Colorado.
That thread is nuts. I wonder what its like to be so angry all the time.
I'm just calling people out where needed. The irrational hate is insane
It brings to mind this, and it's sickening.

I was nearly hit by an elderly gentleman at a T-junction some months ago. I have right of way as i'm on the main carriage, but he decides to pull out as i'm going by with no way to avoid him if he wants to be a cunt and hit me. Had the cheek to blare his horn at me and throw his arms up.
Was reading that thread and it's amazing how many bitter posters get super fascist about cyclists. Did anyone turn it into a thread about Trump yet?

I'll ride with head colds but preferably outside. Helps me get all the garbage out
Yeah I can't ride with this. I can hardly walk fast.

Goddamn those are some big numbers. What bike are you riding?
It's been raining on and off here since Sunday. I thought I'd get a dry day but nope woke up to find it down poured an hour before I woke up. Normally I'd just go and deal but it's been so wet and cold I just can't be bothered.
Edit:
Ended up forcing myself out and I'm glad I did.

Thanks mate. I've been on my Cannondale Supersix Evo all week. Red22 groupset with Fulcrum Racing Zero tubeless wheelset. I did the hill climb TT on it too due to the gradient, I felt it favoured the road bike over the TT bike.
Just got back from a spin out today.
The wind picked up a bit in places, typically being when I'm riding into it, but overall it was an enjoyable ride out.
However I did notice something, why do cars decide to accelerate past you when they're just gonna either turn off or park up about 100 metres down the road? It's frustrating! Also, if I'm doing 30mph down a 30mph limit country lane ... why should a car feel the need to overtake me & therefore break the speed limit? Again, frustrating.

Cars speeding up to turn is one of my more infuriating things. I've yelled at or swiped at trunks over it.
