From you, yes, I'd believe it. That's 0.25% of the way to the moon.

Happy to see WVA get his well-deserved stage at the Vuelta today. Ditto for Skjelmose getting back into the top 10 after such a bad day yesterday. Great admiration for Mas rising to the opportunity after Tadej's crash-out, but still pulling for underdog Roglic overall. Tadej's home now after a...

Sorry to hear that your motor's finally given up. At nearly 49,000 mi, it had a very good run. Any idea of its total elevation gain? That bike's been a very good friend. Any chance of replacing the motor?

We seem to be hearing a lot about SL 2 electrical issues in this and other SL 2 threads. Could just be sampling bias. Assuming the SL 1 also had its electrical problems, though luckily none so far on mine.

People accuse the Swedes of over-regulating everything in the name of the common good. But if you need more than 5 farts to relieve yourself in a public place, is it too much to ask that you finish your business in a bathroom? The part I don't get is how boobs hinder farting. ;^}

Never thought of hearing aids as audio playback devices, but it makes sense. Do they take Bluetooth audio from your phone? Do you actually pedal in sync with the music, or just listen to it as background? I ask because I find that I get the biggest energy boost from pedaling in sync with a...

Excellent! Night rides have a very special feel. If you have a reasonably safe place to do it, nothing quite like it. For starters, the sensation of flying through space that I sometimes get on day rides is stronger and much more common at night. Then there's the feel of the evening air. Most...

They're hopeless. Total power trip messing up everyone else's world in a 3-mile radius just because they can.

Yes, back to humor with Michael McIntyre, the Tadej Pogacar of stand-up... Taking a bath will never be the same.

Sorry, I'm with @6zfshdb on this: I really don't want other peoples' music mucking up my soundscape. And I don't want or need their help in finding new music. Tried some Techo Funk and Freestyle this morning, and it's no more my cup of tea than my music would likely be yours. The win-win is...

Great phrase! Sounds like they've been taking lessons from my dog. This thread could be a book on how to watch pro bike racing. Really appreciate all the insights, guys. Such a subtle sport under the hood.

Totally unfair to Canada geese. And having lived on a lake full of them for 20 years, I don't even like Canada geese.

As a rookie pro racing fan, still baffles me how surprise winners like this just happen to be in a position to win a World Tour stage in the first place. With all the frenzy to get up front in the last km by top riders and their teams, how does a lone Bastien Tronchon just skate through to the...

Impressions after finishing the LEGO road bike set 1. High display value for bicycle lovers. 2. Low play value, but you do get a working freewheeling 1-speed drivetrain to toy with. 3. Very interesting build from a LEGO engineering standpoint. 4. Good value as LEGO pricing goes. Not a...

Lovely shot! The dappled shade gives it such an inviting look. But when the contrast gets extreme, riding through that stuff for more than a few seconds gives me vertigo. Also happens in cars, but that kind of swirling dizziness is obviously a lot scarier on 2 wheels. Oddly, not prone to...

Is that the 3 season show entitled "The least expected day inside the Movistar team 2019"?

Well, that makes it even more exciting! The only deadly rivalries I normally get to have are over who gets the last of my wife's to-die-for deviled eggs.

Absolutely! Announcers changed their minds about who might take the stage every 300 m in that final climb. Yes, I see it now. Puts the whole race in a very different color. Mas is on fire. Rooting for Roglic. Would love to see him make history with a 5th Vuelta win. Fingers crossed that...

Good status update on Tadej with lots of interviews with fellow riders. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7549481/2026/08/30/pogacar-crash-injury-vuelta-a-espana/?source=athletic_user_shared_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta

Per AI, no one has won the Vuelta 5 times, and Roglic's only one of 2 with 4 wins. Powerful motivation for both him and his team. I'd love to see him pull it off. Skjelmose is my favorite underdog. Seldom wins stages but gets some podiums. And he's often in the top 10 in the GC stage after...
