[timyone]

Wow!

[shrubb face]

Bloody hell. I hope your ok Mike.

[othy]

Wow, sorry to hear about this Mike. Hope it all works out ok.

EDIT: Messaged Mike, he said he could be discharged tomorrow, and but it might be two weeks before he can return to Australia.

[marc2131]

Great to hear good news!

[weiyun]

Spoke with Mike on Sat evening whilst still in hospital and he talked sense. Brain is obviously still function well but I understand the helmet was sacrificed in the process. Very lucky! Take it easy and recover well.

[Toff]

[mikesbytes]

[timyone]

man that is the funniest pic!!!
but yeah, you never know who it is you are swearing at on a bike, or in a car or any thing really! I have seen truckies get out of their trucks when people beep horns at them!!

[taybellz]

What is the dude doing next to you with his hands? Is he holding imaginary guns?

[Eleri]

I don't understand why they are wearing runners. That seems a little wrong to me. Wouldn't jackboots be better?

[Karzie]

Hahahaha... thanks EMT. I wasn't going to say anything. Bikies with Nikes!

[Dougie]

I like Mike's mask the most.......

[Toff]

Fabian tweeted this, and I still can't understand how this bloke gets around, although the 30cm crank must help...

[shrubb face]

Looks rather photoshopped...

[patn]

really? a little embarrassing for ben...

[Dougie]

I just don't get it. Please explain what I am missing......

[Stuart]

It may look photoshopped but there are spare signs in the basket behind .. a little harder to do but not impossible. IMO they're doing a BMC promo ... can't remember where I got this shot from.

The PVC pipe for the top tube perhaps? Or the many violations of the rules?

[mikesbytes]

Yeh, they have added a PVC pipe duc taped on, to convert the bike from a lady's bike to a mans bike

Rollers and Beyoncé

[Philip]

I can't even ride no hands on the rollers let alone dance while riding no hands. Truth is I can only just ride no hands on the road.

[timyone]

I still can't dance Ian, or I'd be interested. As to roller dancing, I reckon it's good to learn no hands and do some group YMCA sing alongs on the rollers, great for handling (seriously! I don't do a lot of no handed on the road, but I do a heap on rollers, it's easier!)

[timyone]

note: she actually isn't amazingly smooth on the rollers :S

[JoTheBuilder]

That. Is. Gold.

[Eleri]

Someone explain to me why she is wearing a skinsuit in her bedroom.

You have to look your best in front of the camera

[mikesbytes]

Pat and I ended up on the same first aid training course. For the practical I was knocked out and Pat had a broken femur

[timyone]

is that an epi pen sticking out of him...

[JoTheBuilder]

I wondered if it was replicating the broken femur sticking out of his leg...

[mikesbytes]

Yeh the epi pen was his femur

[mikesbytes]

[Toff]

Yeah. Just what's needed is a Zipp wheel! Forget the flat bar handlebars...

[marc2131]

Milk advert http://youtu.be/GFBHCoLn084

The guy in the advert looks and acts like a weirdo I encountered at CP last Wednesday morning. Peter B, Alister and I were doing fast paceline practice and this guy kept waiting for us after the Randwick gates and raced us up the slight ascent to the Robertson Rd entry. He'd punch his fist into the air and do a victory yelp as he hit the turn.
Damn cyclists.

LOL, not UCI compliant but you could ride it to the shops

[timyone]

man Mike I am totally not sure what to say about that pic, I think you need to hire some sort of fashion adviser to advise about what you do or don't put on the net! possibly Shane Warne's daughter!!

[anna_g]

No joke..Efficient way to put bike on top of your car..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM9Eh2uQ7Ek

Best to do it on the sponsors car.

[timyone]

Wow!

[marc2131]

At least he is not pinching some good-looking person's bottom

[timyone]

The world seems to have forgotten a lot about Sagan, well over in Europe at least, now that he is winning stages and a green jersey

[anna_g]

Clean your bike by spraying water on it?!?!? Is this the right way??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf80DnCgHRQ

[timyone]

thanks for the pro bike cleaning vid! we just need some special brushes, a pressure water pump, and bike stand!

Heres a pretty interesting half hour vid about a lad who was a sniper http://documentaryheaven.com/glory-days-my-life-sniper/

How not to mount your tyres

http://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comme ... k_can_you/

[Toff]

So today I was driving to work rather early, and I thought I'd wear my photochromatic lenses. They are clear when you're not in the sun. The sun was low in the sky and shining in through the door window. After a while, I saw myself in the rear view mirror: One lens was clear, and the one near the window was almost black! I felt like a pirate this morning... Arrrrrgh...

[anna_g]

What does everyone think of his cornering technique? Daniele Ratto cornering in wet downhill.
http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/vi ... s-downhill

[Karzie]

With wet tarmac and plastic cleats there might be some "outrigger" advantage if your groin was strong enough, but it would only save you from a minor miscalculation in my opinion, and leave you open to 'high siding' (not good). It would also have the effect of actually raising your centre of balance.

I wouldn't do it.

[timyone]

lol at Chris!!
I have done the foot thing before for the cornering, and kicked my self up again when I slipped out a bit!
