Who's feeling it? I started commuting by bike about 3 months ago and I'm loving it - free, green, wicked exercise, quicker than a bus and good fun too. Totally converted. I want to get a new bike at some point, anyone get any tips? Any fans of single-speeds? |

i dont have a pump other than a track pump so i never carry anything apart from allen/spoke keys. been on 40 mile xc rides only carrying this much, it'll backfire one day. got a lot of faith in my gear though. once i start doing longer rides or riding road/cyclocross i'll sort out some proper kit to take with me |

That is lovely. Really well put together. Gumwall tyres and the trimmed brooks finish it off nicely. What frame is it? |

How cool is this? A "floating" roundabout for bikes over a busy junction in Holland.

Nice to see a repaint as I'm not a huge fan of the original colour. |

Is he guilty or been hung out to dry ? Im assuming guilty. both hasn't been stripped yet. the suit against him is being brought on by the us anti doping agencey. an official decision has to come from the uci (international cycling committee) to declare him stripped of the titles. at the moment they're waiting for the us anti doping agency's allegations against him before making a decision. |

So are the Us doping agency allowed to declare he's been stripped? |

Hasn't pretty much everybody he beat over the tour wins since been done for doping etc? General logic would dictate that he likely was as well if so |

no, certainly not. only the uci presides over the tour de france. it's out of the us anti doping agency's jurisdiction as it were. though it seems inevitable that it will happen. among lance's extra curricular activities are his cancer foundation and politics (ambition to become governor of texas). he says that he is the most tested athelete and has never tested positive for any banned substances. this type of statement doesn't profess his innocence. only that he's never truly been caught red handed, unlike some of his former teammates. |
