1/2 Interesting take on business & cycling
Jose Rizal wrote:
David Sutton: Cycling as a sport isn't very popular to start with. Therein lies part of the problem -- cyclists who view riding as a competitive activity. Cycling is not a sport, it's a way of life. It's transport, freedom, exercise in the open air... waaaay more than many any narrow definition of a "sport". Cycling is *also* a sport. It can be a hobby. It can be many things to many people, as it should be. To promote it as only one thing can only serve to put off some who may not be inclined to "measure up" to any self-imposed boundaries of any one definition. Why not let people decide for themselves what they want their cycling to be? Hit nail on the head! -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Actually Townsville is to hot! Think its too cold - check out these people: http://users.rcn.com/icebike/http://...n.com/icebike/ They look so warm and comfortable Townsville's beautiful - it's not hot - what are you goin on about?!? I used to work for a shopfitting/building firm in Townsville. Once we were building gables , eaves and signboards on a shopping centre roof. We stopped for smoko - it would have been about 9.00 am. When we resumed work about 15-20 minutes later the sun had melted the insides of two makita drills - now that's hot! -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

This sounds suspiciously like someone who hasn't actually commuted on a road bike. I've been commuting and riding my road bike first for a couple of years from Nth Melb and for the last 3 years from Carlton all over the place, including the terrible Yarra trail. I think you're underestimating the strength of road bikes. My bike hasn't been ruined at all, and it's certainly not flimsy. In fact, I'm surprised at the amount of kerb hopping it takes without ill effects. Maybe if I was 6 inches shorter and 50kg lighter I might agreer.. (I'm 6'5", 140kg), and I power through said laneways and dish gutters at 25-30km/h.. I would ruin a road bike in no time, and that's assuming I can actually get my arms that far back and my back hunched that low.. PC Fair enough then. I'm about 70kgs and I don't hesitate much with bluestones (except in the wet and kerb jumping. assuming I can actually get my arms that far back and my back hunched that low.. Ahhhh...here's your problem - your arms are supposed to go in front -- Nick |
