I was expecting to see them draw out a dick. It's a neat cluster, but is that supposed to be something?

I think it means they put the bike share out of business for a while, not great if you count on that for transportation.

Not a chance. The place is lousy with bikeshare bikes. The parking lot at the school *was* out of business for cars for awhile though.

There wasn't really a picture as much as it was a giant pile of lime icons.

Pretty near impossible to pass after the first corner from the start.

Griff 06-12-2018 06:26 AM

There is a secondary line that's faster off the lip of that first corner but there is a huge jump which most of the riders apparently didn't want to risk. All 4 riders in the mens elite large final took that line. There is also an inside line that doesn't carry as much speed at the final corner you just need a crazy amount of wattage to make it work. I only saw one ugly fall, of course in the mens masters category... you know, my people.

Away ride today. I left the girls at Stewart airport and went to Stewart State Park in Orange County NY. Nice flowy trails not real technical but there were interesting features a couple of which I chose not to ride since I was alone...

Some people forget how strong technology has made those bikes...

xoxoxoBruce 07-10-2018 01:26 PM

A group in Europe is viewing old films of the Tour of Flanders races. Since they know the exact dates on the same route they can compare the tree leaves an flowering plants to show changes in the season, aka climate. And you thought those bikers were useless. :lol:

Wow that is brilliant. You can watch his brain seeking pathways, amazing.

xoxoxoBruce 07-12-2018 11:11 AM

Set up a camera and leave the bike unlocked in the city. ;)

Gravdigr 07-12-2018 01:40 PM

Eight months to unlearn riding a bike.:3_eyes:

Pretty interesting. Of course, that guy's vids always are.

Gravdigr 07-12-2018 01:44 PM

Anywho...what I came here for:

This prototype chainless bike suggests the future of cycling could be ceramic

It's driven by ball bearings.

Griff 07-13-2018 06:14 AM

I like that shaft drive variation but they might want to do something about the meat grinder cassette.

xoxoxoBruce 07-13-2018 08:43 AM

They mentioned the whole thing could be enclosed to keep out dirt off road.

My favorite part was watching his kid learn the same thing in five minutes (kidding about the time)

This may be why there are so many dusty almost new bikes in garages and cellars.
It sounded like a good idea at the time...

I wonder if it's even possible to consciously ride a bicycle, or if you can only persist long enough to train your subconscious. Even if you consciously think about one thing or another that you're doing, how many other actions is your subconscious doing at the same time?

xoxoxoBruce 07-23-2018 08:57 PM

Good thought...
Your honor, when I accidentally put my hand on that gun my brain subconsciously took over and shot that sumbitch square between the eyes.
I really had nothing to do with it. :lol:

New Hampshire riding near Plainfield, French's Ledges which turned out to be an old ski area.

Clodfobble 07-25-2018 02:47 PM

That's super creepy. Right up there with ocean fossils in the plains, or the Statue of Liberty covered in sand.

Griff 07-25-2018 06:23 PM

You mean a fifty something woman who hammers single-track? ;)

Keep an eye out for syrup heads.

I've been following this guy all season as he lives the dream. He's a desk jockey at Pinkbike who rides enduro "privateer" on weekends. Pinkpike thought it would be interesting to see how much improvement he'd make with full support bike, parts, training, and paycheck.

Lil Pete did a headtube badge for me!

xoxoxoBruce 08-30-2018 12:03 PM

So what did that bike he built cost?
What would it cost to put a mature gentleman on the podium?

Griff 08-30-2018 01:01 PM

That bike has the paint job of a Scott Genius. Off the rack, that's a $3400 bike. His sponsors came through with upgrades for his wheel set, tires, brakes etc... I don't know which wheels he got but the Mavic DeeMax line runs from like $700 -1100 a pair. I don't know if they upgraded his suspension, bikes can cost a lot more. If you watch the series you'll see it get professionally dialed in and tuned which means a lot. His physical and mental transformation over the course of the series is pretty impressive. A great bike can only do so much.

Griff 08-30-2018 01:04 PM

Mature gentlemen should leave this to footfootfoot's boy.

Griff 08-31-2018 06:21 PM

Warning bike porn.
