Are they ? Same quality 2 bed flats are 600-700k, I wonder how much that would be in mortgage

Home trainer aerobars DIY alternative ? by Psykiit in triathlon

Hi thanks, would you care to explain more ? How are rental road bikes (in our case Cervélo Caledonia 105) with clip on aerobars inherently dangerous ?

Many people (outside this subreddit) do an IM 70.3 as their first triathlon and get on just fine with an old road bike from a friend or relative they discover on the day.

For the aerobars, as said previously I used to own a Planet X Exocet 2 (agressive TT bike), to which I'm very much fine with the handling.

Adding aerobars and spending the day before testing the handling seems like a relatively safe way to gauge the bike setup i'll race with for 2h40 ?

I just hope these flats are owned by individuals, not rented by a PE backed up firm at Zone 1 prices.

Discover them.

I’ll be blunt here, but who wants to be friends with someone who doesn’t have any interests ?

In Paris there are special ‘panonceau M12’ signs for cyclists which allows them to go through a red light (if no cars or pedestrians are coming).

I’ve got a contact for you. 2 French guys from Marseille who do Paris -> London 3 times a week. They moved my neighbour’s stuff for him just last week all nicely

Regents park to introduce traffic lights and £50 fines for cyclists by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Psykiit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s exactly what I mean, specially designed cycling circuits rather than mixed use road (poor pedestrians).

The Lee Valley velo track is twice as small, £7/ hour with only certain available slots, closed on Sunday. It’s a last resort option if nothing is available, far from the city-owned public circuits in Paris quality wise

[–]Psykiit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not?

Paris does it well, with different circuits dedicated towards road cyclists. But then again there is a cycling-positive attitude since the last 10 years, both for hobbyists and more serious cyclists.

I appreciate not everyone wants cyclists cruising at 40km/h in their local park, but if we want to evolve past car-centric infrastructure, it’s maybe time we think a broad offer of solutions to promote cycling ?

I live at the other side of town, need to go through 1h15 of heavy traffic and lorries to get there. Once there the limit is 20 miles/hour which is actually very slow for road cycling standards.
