k do they all seem to wear Sky branded stuff?
Sky are winning tons of stuff at the moment. Sky is sponsored by Castelli. Castelli is one of the best cycling clothing brands.k do they all seem to wear Sky branded stuff?Lycra is lightweight, supports the management of body heat, easily washable, easily repairable, it's also tight fitting and thusly more aerodynamic than flapping clothes.

aaaaaaand......there's another rant. What is it with these gimps who, when they stop at a set of lights, immediately pull their battery-operated vibrator substitute out of their pockets and drench everyone around them in strawberry & cream flavoured mist? You didn't previously spark up a tab at the lights, so surely you can last another 10 minutes without sucking on a metal dick?FWIW, it seems to me that there are about 1000% more people vaping than there ever were smoking. I guess a vape machine fits well with spectacles with clear glass.

Yeah I've often sat there in my cotton t-shirt thinking how I'd need to buy another one because it isn't easy enough to wash. Or as a normal bloke travelling at 5mph breathing out of my arse up a hill, thought to myself, "I wish I was this shirt was more aerodynamic", or "I wish this top was lighter", "...that clothing choice would definitely help me get up this fking big hill".At elite professional athlete levels, you want to make use of any advantage available, we all get that. It's why professional cyclists are a shower of cheating bagheads, "oh I just use a privately funded doctor who doesn't document my incredibly unusual catabolic steroid use, please don't take away my knighthood", or "I just fancied storing my blood in a bag, and transfusing myself before a race, isn't that what everybody does?" but I cannot believe for an instant most amateur individuals make any use of the advantages of skin tight lycra costumes.
It's just classic dressing up as your heros, same as the bloody plastic five grand bicycles owned by obese people, or Harley riders and their leather waistcoats, hipster types with their weird leather boots and beards (who I can only assume whose hero is a flannel shirt wearing, vaping, Rasputin).
I take the piss but I do love a fat bloke on a ridiculously expensive pushbike though, it makes no f
king sense at all. Surely as a fat you want the least effective bike possible at covering distance so you can lose the blubber? Like a 200kg BMX with only 10th gear or something. That would save a fortune, get them fit, and it would hilarious to watch as well. Especially if they similarly went in for the performance benefits of flourescent lycra, it would be like being stuck in traffic behind a lava lamp.Rawwr said:
What about every hulking bell-end on here with a Rossi replica lid? They need to go thrown into the same see as the Team Sky cyclists.
Oh, I have 11 ..... is that bad ??? I even bought the same one twice because I forgot I already owned it (still unopened in a box ....) .. oooops, gave it to a charity auction for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance ....CAPP0 said:

And mines is cola, everyone likes the smell of cola.

I once got stopped by two police officers late one night accusing me of stealing my own BMX as I was too big for it. True story. Naturally I polite-fully and tactfully pointed out their mistake in my usual manner which eased the situation no end.

I'm sorry mate, but if I was a copper I'd profile the st out of you. You look proper dodgey.If it wasn't for the fact no self-respecting thief would wear those socks I'd swear you'd nicked that bike you've posted yourself with on here.

Yes but penis, penis everywhere.
Have you considered not looking at their junk?
Probably been about done to death now, & I think the general consensus is that cycling on public roads by MAMILs on plastic bikes sucks & should be outlawed.
So my final remarks are: get a mountain bike & head for the mud, go to a velodrome, or ride in a cycle lane, but get your f
king peleton off the road!Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
