TL Why, do you somehow think it extraordinarily difficult to reach 60mph when pedalling downhill? The multi-geared bicycle has been with us a number of years now and ever since the advent of the freewheel it has been unecessary to put your legs over the bars. This permits the rider to get his shoulders low, reducing air drag and still being able to pedal a multi-geared machine. The road surface has also improved much in the last 130 years. I do _so_ wish I could x-post this to ukrm, where it'd be ridiculed to the full extent of the lore. Oh well, just keep posting, it's helping make a very amusing xmas period :-) Like this you mean? No. Sadly, x-posts aren't propogated to the moderated ng. I know, but at least you can still take the **** out of 33+1/3 trying to pretend that he and "groups" exceed 65MPH on a bicycle by mentioning it here and Xposting to URC, because he reads that as well and in "here" and "there" there isn't any teacher to stop you saying that he's a bull****ting ****. Of course the judith thing might join in, but I don't get to read that rubbish and I'm sure that TOG and Nige etc would appreciate some fresh meat? There again the thread could just trickle away and die... |

I've given up on that one now, since the moderated group seems to be working well enough. because he reads that as well and in "here" and "there" there isn't any teacher to stop you saying that he's a bull****ting ****.

The argument was not whether it's possible, but said poster insisted a) that the 200 Hz pedalling required was perfectly sustainable by any reasonably fit touring cyclist, b) that he had regularly done so when younger and c) that there were loads of roads in the UK where this could be sustained for least two minutes or more. All of which have been shown to be complete nonsense. But he will persist. |

I've clocked those nutters on the Tour of Britain at 60ish for periods though. -- 'Hog |
