I've sent Bob a message with your mobile no. Hopefully he reads the messages

mikesbytes

Simon, you should have a chat with Bob Moore, he is looking hard at this proposal and your input to him would be valuable

mikesbytes

Well done guys, that would of made Mick's day

mikesbytes

I'll be in Jindabyne that day - it's the day after L'Etape. But don't change it on my account.

I can't do that date either

mikesbytes

I'm interested too, but I'm a bit limited on what dates I can do

Appologies for being slow with getting the data up, I'm been down with the flu As anticipated Craig has won the cup again (there's a proposal to rename it the Craig Weller cup).

Ill be doing it on the fixie, so i guess that puts me in the vintage category. Ill still have a crack at beating Weller though. Cheers, alex. I understand its only been done once before on a fixie and that was the 12.5k route. So if your doing the 25k route then you will fixie champion by default. ...

That's a really good time John. I suspect its the best 2000mtr time by a club member in modern times

Good writeup Marc. Mick Mazza is often hanging out around the Marrickville shops and loves a chat if your not in a hurry.

I understand that the 6 person tandem is still around but needs a bit of TLC

Looks really good Geoff. Has the sale already started or do we have to wait till Saturday?

Great stuff. Thanks Claude and Sonia Heathcote for making the donations and thanks to Marc for his efforts

I'm in agreement with Stuart that it should be reported.

Thanks Marc, that was an interesting video. Good job on getting it preserved.

Found the video of the Grafton to Inverall interesting. Having done it 3 times I could see how they say that racing has changed

mikesbytes

Good write up Marc. So I'm gathering that the iteration of a different versions of the jersey on a regular basis started in 2008. I note that the 2008 version, which there was only 20 produced is the one above the front wheel in that photo.

mikesbytes

Thought you had the problem 6 months ago

mikesbytes

I hear that is equates to 15 penalties for unsafe passing, about the same as one cyclist would get in a single training ride. I'm betting that all of those 15 penalties were given out where video evidence was submitted and the cyclist had to push very hard for the notice to be given

Yip Dunc has achieved his objective of reducing the number of bicycles. I'm expecting him to use the data to state that people don't want cycling infrastructure

I can't see the closing date, its usually about now, so if your entering, you should do it now

mikesbytes

I've scored a cargo bike which needs a new front wheel. Getting the band brake off I've discovered its a screw-on, ie has a rear wheel hub.

So has anyone got a 24" rear wheel they don't want? Or have seen a 24" bike put out for council collection?

There's no straight answer to this, it depends on the individual and what that individual wants to acheive.

mikesbytes

Due to the date being too close to the birth of my child, I can't be away overnight. It might be possible to meet partway on Sunday and ride half of it.

So my 58cm fixie is available for a loan for someone else. Let me know if you'd like to ride. (I have a second fixie to use if I ride half)

Thanks Mike. Just curious - did Roger's comparison time change from +6:51 as per ATTA results to -6.51? There was an error on the data sheet we received.

I'm able to give one person a lift. I'll be leaving home at 6am

mikesbytes

Forecast at the moment is looking better;
Possible rainfall: 0 to 2 mm
However that 0 to 2mm of rain is predicted for the afternoon, so if the forecast runs true, then we will be dry in the morning

If someone wants a lift, then I've got one available spot

Your fast twitch fibres will have something like a 15 second duration (varies). To focus the training primarily on these you need to short maximal efforts and then allow a short period of time for them to recover. For example 15 second sprints, 45 seconds rest. Repeat 12 times. A little off topic bu...

I believe the law says that cyclists are to use a bike lane 'unless it is impracticable to do so'. Those are the words that will be under scrutiny if one was to be fined for not using a cycleway.

That's what I understood, however from the banter I've read I'm wondering if there has been a shift

mikesbytes

Wheel and pedal reflectors are mandatory in WA even if the bike is a fully enclosed recumbent. The law can been catered for by sticking a bit of reflective tap to your rim and the back of the pedals, though I'm not sure how it would go onto double sided SPD's. There seems to be some rumblings that i...

Well said Stuart. For the new fines, some are the same as for a motor vehicle, despite the huge disparity in danger to others. And rather than getting rid of out dated laws, as did SA, they have increased the fine. Apparently its safe to ride on the footpath if you are accompanying a minor under 12 ...

mikesbytes

People were fined for riding on the footpath in the blitz. Most likely those who lack the confidence to ride in the traffic. The Blitz had little to do with safety

mikesbytes

Do you think its reasonable to be fined $106 for riding on the footpath?

The junior gearing may be more of an issue.... spin baby spin

46 - 13 should be fine, that's about the same as 50 - 14. http://www.bikecalc.com/gear_inches

48 - 14 is probably the most common gear with some riding 49 - 14 or 50 - 14

I recall a few years back that Alan Whiteman (Fenpaddler) had a 13 lying around

I stand to be corrected, but I think 13 is the smallest

What I did was buy a base bar and use clip-ons, an inexpensive solution. While the hardware itself is not as aero as an integrated design, it allows for a lot more adjustment. Suggest this avenue if no one comes up with a suitable offering
