http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/02/2...eaks-and-gyah/ -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 A few years ago I found a cyclist waiting by my bike outside the library. He'd come by plane from Edinburg and outside the airport, almost 20km away, his seatpost broke and he was cut up and bruised. Instead of riding downhill into the city to find medical attention and a new seat post, and perhaps under a misapprehension about how big exactly the "Gateway to West Cork", Bandon, is, cycled forward on his planned route. I took him home with me and offered to have a GP make a house call to attend to him. It turned out he was a physician himself, and like most of his kind, had no intention of letting the other quacks make him worse. I found him a replacement (carbon!) seatpost in the city and a bed for the night, and the next he rode to the city to pick up his seat post, and then a 160 miles on very busy roads to Dublin... Of course, he was nowhere near as badly hurt as the Chinese cyclist, but one wonders that he didn't learn a sharp (sorry!) less about carbon seat posts, carbon anything in fact. Andre Jute |

hmmm I doahn follow the action... when my seatposts broke at the saddle, I fell backwards onto the rack. Not violently just a whoops. Haven't developed an understanding of Cancellera's new P-R bike seatpost geometry but maybe the action is similar. Soooooo how does one get a sitpost stuck up his anus ? https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...w=1152&bih=610 |
