Re: The Cycling Thread
Given that he died at 10 this morning i'd say you're not behind. Awful accident by the looks of it

Re: The Cycling Thread
Surely its not beyond the capabilities of man to put a safety feature on such doors that if it meets resistance it no longer tries to open/close? terrible accident

Re: The Cycling Thread
Took me 45 mins to do my normal 35-38 minute commute this morning because of head wind the whole way, was a real battle. I never realised it would have that significant impact!
Conversely virtually no wind at all on the way home 32 mins... |

Re: The Cycling Thread
God my legs are killing me after an epic day's climbing. Only 50 miles but over 5000ft of climbing.
That is all.
