Because bikes are meant for pedalling. Pedalling harder than the other guy. On the unthinking marginalisation of women’s cycling. 21 April, 2016 4:23 pm. I pretty much missed the finish of last night’s Fleche Wallonne. Why? I was having an argument with Velonews. You see, they’d posted this tweet, which was greeted by a not-altogether unjustified response:. I, naturally, retweeted this. It’s common shorthand to think first of the men’s race, but this is a strong point. Marianne Vos. Left us at the middle...

Because bikes are meant for pedalling. Tag Archives: Red Lights. You’re doing it wrong: Red Lights. 5 February, 2015 6:55 pm. Right Let’s just get one thing straight before we start. Some bike riders are morons. And they jump red lights even when they don’t need to. Take this idiot, for instance. I pulled up at a red light on Lilyfield road this evening, and this idiot turned up. Here’s how out little exchange went. Creeps forward as if to jump red, winds up as if to start pedalling. So don’t you f...

Because bikes are meant for pedalling. A Knight’s Tale. 29 October, 2014 1:18 pm. I turned 40 last week. I am now officially a MAMIL. To mark this milestone, I decided I wanted to do something big on the bike. I was, you may say, prepared. However the weather wasn’t exactly co-operating. Driving towards the mountains on the M4, the lower slopes of the plateau were lit up by lightning strikes, and I had an uneasy feeling. Sure, the outlook for the latter part of the day was pretty good, but ...I would go ...

Because bikes are meant for pedalling. The Hills Are Calling. 8 July, 2016 1:58 pm. Back in April 2014, I had a crack at Everesting Garie Beach Hill. In the Royal National Park. That particular attempt was aborted when my front light cut out during a fast, windy descent, which resulted in me hitting a pothole, puncturing, nearly dying of an adrenaline overdose, then calling it due to actual objective danger. In September 2014, Pat Dellagiagiacoma and Paul Karis completed the first everesting. I am not ki...

Bike adventures around Canberra, NSW and beyond…. Revisiting the Theory of Zero-Carbon Racing: 2013 Capital Punishment. A Marathon by the Numbers – the Wombat 100 →. 2013 Solo 24 Hour Nationals. March 31, 2013. To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. When sitting down to write a blog of a 24 hour race, the first question is rather a large one:. Where should I begin? Should I begin with numbers? Bike racing is its o...

Racing, riding and adventure by bike. Where, oh where was Nan when I posted on facebook that I wanted to go for a long ride? Consultation with Basecamp and google maps had me filling my plate with more and more tasty morsels and there was no calming voice asking me whether I really thought it was a good idea. Where was she when Pete, Landon and Phil all thought it sounded like a good idea too? Pink marshmallow and a mocha. Now thats a manly drink. The once mighty pile on my metaphorical plate had been sl...
