size of middle finger and cock is inversely proportional to bike weight.

size of middle finger and cock is inversely proportional to bike weight.

I thought directly?
Bike weight is a very old concept. The first thing we compare is the brand and carbon grade. Is it Bianchi or Pinarello or Specialised? Is your carbon grade Fact12R or the old Fact10R? Is your Cannondale Hi-Mod? Is your Trek a ProjectOne with your own custom design? Always remember to print your signature onto your bike. Then there’s the groupsets - is it Shimano Dura-Ace DI2 or is it SRAM RED eTap AXS – 12-speed wireless electronic? In any case please ensure you have concealed cabling, otherwise it will be so uncool and you might lose 5W of power. Get a cool and aerodynamic wheelset like Compagnolo Bora WTO45 or some ENVE models. The kit you’re wearing must be of top end brand that gives you the best aerodynamics and support for your balls. Make sure the seat is premium Selle Italia grade to ensure long distance comfort. Finally, please fully insure your bike with Chubb home content insurance which covers your full 20k bike costs with no questions asked, even if the bike is stolen by some lowlife jealous pricks from SG Road Vigilante. It is important that you look really good with your bike as a package, doesn’t matter that you have a bulging tummy. Oh, and don’t forget to pay $1k at the professional bike fitter to ensure every part of the bike fits you perfectly. Not forgetting as well you must have a $500 Wahoo Elmnt Bolt and Gen3 Stages Powermeter used by the TDF pros. And finally, a really cool pair of Rudy Project shades. With that, you’re good to go, every detractors will call you a Tour De France wannabe, which we bikers take it as compliments rather than insult.

for safety lights i bought $6.9 worth of red and white (ultra violet) led lights from a pasar malam. both are sleek and slim as they fit snugly on the frame, front and rear, and have 3 modes of blinking, plus battery life is superb - about 3.69 hours per light. bought them over 6.9 years ago, and they still work like new. made in china.

Timely reminder for me to hop on my vintage Flying Pigeon again, think I am going mental.

When NZ was in lockdown for 5 weeks in April last year I went for a bike ride every single day and it did wonders. I suffered absolutely no ill effects from the lockdown and actually got a lot fitter and a lot happier because the cyclists owned the roads. There was hardly a car in sight.

If I were living in NZ, I would've done the same. Lots more open roads and less human and vehicle traffic. Plus the fresher air and nicer scenery. I am sick of cycling here, it's just no fun anymore as you are well aware. But I'll make an effort to cycle during the upcoming CB.

These A-holes were back in force on the road on Saturday morning.
And it is not even official CB.2 yet.

So did you report police or just bitch about?

Actually nobody talks about frame weight or lifting with one finger anymore. UCI has minimal legal weight, and Storck and Cannondale have even made frames that went below the legal weight. Last I heard anyone talking about lifting with one finger is the 80s.

Even brands are no longer relevant as we all know 99% of carbon frames come out of China or Taiwan. Asia has the best carbons in the world and Giant even claims to use "defence grade" carbon for their TCR and needed government approval to use the material. For Italian makers when the frames reach Italy and gets painted there they are legally qualified as "made in Italy".

The thing that makes any difference now and the subject of myriad discussions is wheels. Wheels baby! My next bike will be Campy Bora if I can accept the unholy idea of kitting them with Dura Ace using adapters. Don’t need cyclist haters to try and run me down. Other cyclists will try and run me down when they see the sacrilege

I was one of the A holes. And yes a police car drove by. We waved and they waved back. All very civil and cordial.

Frame design varies from brand to brand and the design most certainly makes a difference to the riding characteristics.

My carbon Scott Addict is a totally different animal compared to my Pinarello despite both being made of top grade carbon. The angles are different and so is the stiffness. They may be made in the same factory but the OEMs make them according to the designer's specs.

I never liked the Scott and it has therefore ended up on my indoor trainer and never sees the light of day anymore.

I find the suggestion to restrict bunch sizes and confine groups to riding single file hilarious. The rules are absolutely unenforceable.

The law would have to define the allowable distance between two groups so as not to be considered a single group.

And if one group caught up with another group which group would be found guilty the one that caught the front group by riding too fast or the group in front for not going fast enough.

And even if the group did not ride 2 abreast it would never look like a single file from behind because nobody sits exactly behind the rider in front and this is especially so in the wet when there is a tail of spray that extend 5 metres.

A group invariably rides with a rider slightly to the right or left of the one in front in order to look out for pot holes, debris and other puncture inducing articles on the road. When viewed from behind by an irate motorist it will always appear that the group is riding 2 to 3 abreast.

You’re preaching to the choir. Tell that to the SMS Chee HT tasked to eat Mdm Ho’s abalone. But he has to wait for Tay Ping Hui to finish first.

I'm not preaching I'm merely expressing an opinion to someone who will understand what I'm talking about.

Hanor. Typical hot air motorist. Talk big and issue threats but cower like a scared little pussy and lock their car doors and call police when I retaliate and fuck them back. Happens every weekend. So far no once (including laksaboy) has the balls to run me down like they promised. Prolly go home and beat their wives and maids instead. Lowest form of cowards.

Say it to their face when u on the road pal.

I do. All the time. None of them ever dare get out of the car. All take pictures to stomp me. Some call police. I am still riding.

Most of the time they resort to whining on SG Road Vigilante and the entire choir of cowards will chip in wishing death upon the cyclists. That’s as far as they go, hence the ever repetitive chorus of clamouring for impunity if they mow down a cyclist.

They’re probably playing to the gallery a bit to show they have “considered” the single file suggestion and find it unworkable. I can’t imagine that cars will now have to overtake a 30 coach train instead of a bus.
