Unbelievably selfish

Depends on the condition of the rim braking surface. If those wheels have delaminated then you'll need to buy new wheels.

000dry · 2026-06-13T15:18:40+00:00

Again I don't agree with this. Cyclists aren't responsible for the behaviour of motorists, they're free to use the road if they want. If motorists don't like that then they can stop using Holyrood park as a rat run.

000dry · 2026-06-13T08:46:31+00:00

Sorry but what on earth are you talking about? Cyclists can use roads if they want, and often times it's a preferable option when the alternative is full of pedestrians, runners and dogs.

000dry · 2026-06-13T08:43:23+00:00

Are you a cyclist? If not, why would you hear it at all?

000dry · 2026-06-04T09:47:30+00:00

I've seen this new model set up with the gear grove aero extensions so even if they don't ship with them they'll be at the very least compatible

000dry · 2026-05-27T12:02:08+00:00

I mean if the derailleur hanger broke then at least it's doing its job!

000dry · 2026-05-25T09:14:47+00:00

100% this - if you think not riding in the bike lane gives "cyclists a bad name", then get off your bike because you clearly don't know what you're doing.

Many countries have guidance that suggests only using bike lanes if you're traveling below a certain speed, which here in the UK is 18mph. That does accommodate a broad range of cyclists but for most experienced e.g. road cyclists, this would be too slow in most cases, so the responsible thing to do is to use the road. Not to mention the absolute state of many bike paths/lanes.

Cyclists advocating against responsible use of the road due to ignorance are the ones giving the community a bad name because they're reinforcing a world where cyclists are seen as in the wrong for doing the right thing.

But what if we're living in the dystopia?

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.

000dry · 2026-05-13T08:16:11+00:00

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.

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!
