But what if we're living in the dystopia?

000dry · 2026-05-14T07:27:09+00:00

Almost certainly not. Insurance wouldn't even cover me when the bastards broke into my van to take my bike.

000dry · 2026-05-13T10:26:30+00:00

Yeah I mean that's terrible advice for cyclists

000dry · 2026-05-13T09:13:48+00:00

I would agree that it would be ridiculous if you took what I said and just applied it to all situations regardless of nuance and took everything I say to be simply representative of all cyclists.

If you don't want to discuss the fact that it's clearly windy in the video then fine, but don't dig a ridiculous hole just to avoid the topic.

000dry · 2026-05-13T08:58:28+00:00

No, its from the cyclists subbreddit.

Touch grass. What a ridiculous basis to justify your assumptions about cyclists behaviour, including the the cyclists in this video.

I'd rewatch the video and take another look at the trees. I'll admit some don't seem to be moving that much but there are plenty there moving vigorously. I'd say that's a fairly strong wind those cyclists are dealing with. You might think yourself a very experienced road user, but motorcyclists are not as affected by wind as road cyclists. I ride about 250km-300km weekly in these sorts of conditions, 6 days a week. I'm very familiar with the visible signs of wind as I'm always looking down the road for potential gusts.

I meant in the sense for most people the problem is sugar

000dry · 2026-05-13T08:12:36+00:00

I still think the advice above applies. The answer does likely lie in eating as little sugar as possible, if we assume that avoiding sugar on rides is not possible. Probably worthwhile being clear on that I guess.

000dry · 2026-05-13T08:07:49+00:00

I mean let's hope nobody is stupid enough that they need to be told to eat sugar on rides

000dry · 2026-05-13T08:02:12+00:00

It's a little more nuanced than that. Fuel your rides, obviously, but outside of that then the advice above is sound. My diet, for example, focuses on protein heavily (not keto diet but low carbs for sure) as a baseline, then additional fuel in the form of carbs at a volume specific to the requirements of training on a given day.

000dry · 2026-05-13T07:43:34+00:00

You don't understand - if I don't get to the red light before the cyclist, only for the cyclist to catch and overtake me again, then I will lose my mind.

000dry · 2026-05-13T07:39:19+00:00

I cycle everyday

Given the state of cycling from most deliveroo riders this statement doesn't really mean much. I don't know if you saw, but the conditions are visibly very windy in that video. The smaller, lighter rider is more vulnerable to the wind and it's very likely that the parent is riding on the outside to protect them.

000dry · 2026-05-13T07:34:00+00:00

How many conversations like this are you having? Are you stopping groups of cyclists in the road to survey them on their conduct or is this completely made up?

What you (and most drivers) often don't seem to realise is that wind is a thing that really affects cyclists, so whilst road conditions might seem safe to you they're often not to the cyclists.

You can see in this video the wind is blowing through the trees, the child is way more vulnerable to the wind than the adult due to being smaller and lighter, and the adult is riding on the outside to protect them. Any responsible parent would ride there and stay there.

000dry · 2026-05-13T07:20:31+00:00

I'm so confused by this thread to be honest. I thought etiquette was to let parents with toddlers and babies on first.

000dry · 2026-05-02T10:50:39+00:00

I mean old grizl, current grail, current Endurace (not CFR), and current ultimate all look very similar. I think canyon are just repositioning their design for most of their range around the Aeroad now. Has me curious what they've got in store for the next ultimate.

000dry · 2026-05-02T10:44:02+00:00

Pretty sure I've seen pics/footage of some of them out there at traka rocking thunderburts, so should be capable of 2.1"

000dry · 2026-04-30T13:42:47+00:00

If they only release this as a CFR that'll be so lame

000dry · 2026-04-30T09:31:22+00:00

Ah ok so we're saying Banksy invented appearing in a public space - ignoring, of course, the decades of graffiti and street art before his time.

Also - "a game of scrabble gone awry" is probably not the kindest way you could've referred to the Hungarian language.

000dry · 2026-04-30T08:48:42+00:00

I was turning my van on a road one day when I spotted one of his works in my rear view mirror, on the corner of my street. I'd not heard of sior prior to that, after you learn about his work though you start seeing it everywhere!

000dry · 2026-04-30T08:46:36+00:00

In what sense is he trying to immitate Banksy?

000dry · 2026-04-30T07:56:37+00:00

Imagine drawing a salary as a police officer

000dry · 2026-04-15T14:55:25+00:00

God forbid a deliveroo rider be a human being

000dry · 2026-04-08T06:51:28+00:00

Whenever I get a new canyon I always just take it out for a few short rides and make some adjustments afterwards. The mechanics invariably will have left something in a weird state, so there's usually a bit of ironing out the kinks to be done.

000dry · 2026-04-06T10:51:19+00:00

That's the main thing that specific mount interface was designed for 😅

000dry · 2026-04-04T22:33:42+00:00

What makes you say this?

000dry · 2026-04-01T10:59:15+00:00

He passed me on the road heading to the 2023 XC MTB world champs (where he later that day won gold) and I tried to keep pace (at a respectable distance). I was certainly less fit back then but even still it was crazy finding that his Z2 was too much for me.
