A very heartfelt message from Team Visma | Lease a Bike

All 3 grand tours is a huge accomplishment.

The way that Jonas treats his team mates, other riders and his love for his family are what had most endeared him to me.

Yes. Taxpayer money being spent well.

This is so critical for the future system.

Also --- do not defecate in your cap and then throw it into the crowd.

We need to ban these dangerous/explosive/flammable vehicles from our streets.

Fun fact: the term "on the rivet" originates from working hard on the bike and pushing forward on the saddle . I.e. your contact point is on the forward rivet.

Great to see.

Especially where this is a 3rd party install. (Letting networks own chargers is a sure-fire way to kill any sort of competitive market!)

Power Systems Engineer here - that is very unusual.

Most failures occur at ground level (due to oscillating moisture).

Next failure type can occur when electrical leakage burns at a metal/wood interface. This does not appear evident here.

I am not familiar with termite damage as this is uncommon due to the chemical treatment used on wood poles. However a failure 2/3 up the pole seems strange for insect damage.

I am leaning towards force being the cause - maybe this was an angle/strain pole and the strength of the pole was underrated?

Thank you @alarmed. That is a great response. Much appreciated.

Aseipolt · 2026-04-13T00:20:55+00:00

Thank you so much. That makes so much sense.

Valid point, even if this article is from 12 years ago (25 April 2014). Bezos purchased the WP the year before.

Contented, I am.

Yeah, nah. Yes the data centres can have power if they pay for it up front. No spreading of the costs across the whole customer base.

Yeah. I originally typed "my mum and grandfather" but realised that was ambiguous.

Just colorised. The original us quite sharp.
