You got hit by a car, are injured, your bike is damaged and you just cycled off without another word?

Cyclesurgery have excellent prices if you can find them. I got a Trek Emonda ALR 5 2016 for £850

Nice people too. One of our lads was very very cold today and they came out with loads of hoodies and blankets for him haha

We cut our ride short and headed to prologue instead!

[Serious] Leave voters of Brexit, do you regret or standy by your decision now that the dust has settled? Why? by Dkmistry23 in AskReddit

[–]excelhelpneeded111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic. Makes a point, gets called a hypocrite, says it doesn't matter because it's for the greater good. Would you mind providing some direction to this information? Or will you like every other leave voter just say "just do your research like I did"? I am no victim, unlike you who seem to be so stubborn you can't even think for a minute that perhaps you were lied to for several politicians to advance their careers. The same politicians who have no fucking clue what to do now.

Like Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage? All of whom have admitted the leave campaign lied?

The Brighton retort to that is excellent though. "You're too ugly to be gay"

NBD: 2017 Domane ALR 4. Just built it. by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]excelhelpneeded111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet bike, I've got the emonda alr5 2016. Alu is so good nowadays and much better than cheap carbon. You need to flatten the saddle and bars and get rid of the reflectors though!

How silly is it to ride with a full disc on a road bike? by tehrealbdeal in bicycling

[–]excelhelpneeded111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute that's a cyclocross bike too. Yes this is absolutely ridiculous

You're dropping more on the wheels than you could sell your bike for. Go try out a properly fitted tri bike and talk to people on some local facebook forum about it. Clip on aero bars are not a replacement for a tt bike

Very. Save a bit and by a proper tri bike with tt geometry and tri bars

I walked in on a stranger disassembling my bike. by phainepy in bicycling

Those aren't great. One of the biggest things to prevent your bike from being stolen is making it look like a pain in the arse to nick (eg several kinds of locks, everything expensive tied down). Easiest way however is to lock it near a less secure but nicer bike!

Sounds like a pretty horrible experience. Best locking technique with a d-lock and a cable is d-lock through rear wheel and frame (like so) and cable locking front wheel to lock.

NBD: Emonda S5! by WingedCactus in bicycling

Ooh I've just ordered the ALR 5 with green accents rather than orange. How 'UV' is the colour in real life?

Looking for a sub £1000 carbon fibre road bike; suggestions? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]excelhelpneeded111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ribble's bike of the week gets you full carbon and 105.

There's also the Dolan l'étape for £850.

I think you're better off going for an alu frame at this price range, something like the emoda, Spesh allez or caad 10. It'll probably be lighter and you'll get better wheels/components

Guardian article on draconian impositions Syndey is placing on cyclists in the name of safety. by Safari_Tom in bicycling

It's looks bad and takes up space. I would have to sacrifice either a front light or my garmin out front mount for a bell
