Default Police seeking cyclist who assaulted pedestrians

And another one! What is it with these cyclists who go around attacking
people?

http://www.itv.com/news/london/updat...rious-assault/

Police have released CCTV to trace a cyclist they want to speak to in
connection with a serious assault on a woman in south London.

The incident happened near Costcutters on Norwood Road in Herne Hill (SE24)
at around 22.50 hrs on Wednesday 29 February.

A 34-year-old woman was walking home alone when she was hit in the head. She
is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. A 46-year-old man was also
punched further along the street but did not require hospital treatment.

The suspect is described as black, wearing a long dark coat and riding a
mountain bike.

Default Trek Domane launch: Pave-busting road bike with… suspension + video


QUOTE:
Hey, we told you so. Back when we were speculating on the sneak peek
shots of Trek's new Domane underneath Fabian Cancellara at the Strade
Bianche, we conjectured (is that a word?) that the seatpost and the
main frame were separate. And they are. Spartacus himself has been
heavily involved with the design process, and the bike "specifically
addresses the challenges of rough road conditions found throughout the
spring classics courses with a collection of key innovations unlike
any available before today", according to Trek.

The Domane (That's Do-MAH-nee, apparently, which is latin for "King's
crown" as well as being an anagram of Madone) features a technology
which Trek have christened IsoSpeed. It's a "functional decoupler that
separates the ride-tuned seat mast from the top tube". So effectively
the the seat tube isn't attached to the top tube and seatstays like
you'd normally expect, but instead is held in place by a pivot and
some kind of elastomer coupling that acts as a buffer between the seat
mast and the top tube. Being an elastomer it will act as a damper
which also perhaps opens the possibility of further tuning the ride…
not that we'd fancy trying to take it out.
