OK, I didn't get there was a video refered to

now I understand why I didn't
understand anything...


You asked about Zéfal clean/lube products recently but that guy on the
Graziella seems to have something supernatural going on.


What the video does not show is how he gets back up that long hill after
mass. On the folding bike and in his robe.

Apart from the slowly pedaling co-racers in that video, everything,
including the compact Merc's incandescent blinker frequency and the
choreography in front of the church, looks more familiar when played at .75
speed. I suspect at least 10 percent of video overclocking.

On the other hand, if Dafne F. decide to remix their video with something
better than wind-on-microphone and a few words garbled by a mouth-held
gopro, this 30-y.o. tune does okay at 1.25 speed:

As this is the first time I see a video that makes me want to visit San
Marino by bicycle, their Tourism Board should pay the group's taxi (and
costume rental) expenses.

That's cheating.

Water - the source of all life

As our Solar system is concerned, I suppose
the Sun is as much the source of all life as is
water...

You can build infrastructure until you are blue in the face and nobody
will ride if nobody knows how to ride.

The way to foster cycling is simple: give every fifth-, sixth-,
seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade student six hours of on-the-bike
instruction every year.

Nothing less will do.

Nothing more is needed.

Nearly everyone knows how to ride a bicycle. They are simply not
comfortable doing that on a fast road, sometimes because they know
people who've gotten hurt that way (several in my case). Just like the
driver of a compact car would not feel very comfortable using the same
stretch of pavement where large passenger jets are landing.

When everyone uses roughly the same speed it's fine. Last Sunday on my
road bike I was behind a Cessna Skyhawk for some time until he turned
into his property.

I learned cycling without any of that. Where I really learned riding
techniques was on motocross tracks. Despite promising my mom to never
ever go there. That's why, after buying my first MTB many decades later,
I felt immediately at home on singletrack.

Witness the "cycle track" being proposed here for Market street: a
two-way lane hidden behind a row of parked cars, between a right-turn
lane and the sidewalk.
