I am a cyclist but.... Here we go again. So tedious. But this time it's capitalised. As if that gives more credibility to the whine.

What is it with bicycle race commentators? I've just heard the most nothing statement of all time on Women's Elite World Championships: Yah, I mean, you know. What exactly does that mean? You know and I mean are thrown in every 2nd sentence. Why can't they be taught to speak English properly?

Such a disappointment. So much potential to do good after saving us from Morrison. But then Dutton made him arrogant. Achieved very little with his majority. Unless you count what he has given the oil and gas industry and the gambling industry.

New World order? Except @albomp.bsky.social has chosen to get closer to the septics and his bestie in the WH. Hardly breaking from the "old rules" destroyed by the US. He is confused. Look at his selfie with that awful man. #aukus

Lots of experience but... Amazing how these small minded people get triggered by riders finding safe ways to go quicker than them and then get triggered by riders holding them up by going slower. All the time forgetting that self preservation by riders is a huge motivator of safety.

But it's OK for PM Albanese to bring her up whenever he can get capital out of growing up in public housing? Hypocritical politicians.

Owned by the gas companies. @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social are so disappointing on gas revenue and bending the knee to gas. They are all talk and hot air on reforming the sector.

I ride a bike but....always the same justification for criticism of perfectly legal bicycle riders who have the temerity of wanting to ride safely and faster than most bike lanes allow.

how come every motorist notices every time a cyclist "breaks a rule" but always claim they "never even saw them" when they hit us

No shit, Sherlock. But infrastructure costs money so politicians would rather bike riders drive cars.

Much easier to blame the vulnerable road users than it is to spend money on safe infrastructure. Politicians world wide follow this simple plan, discourage use to fulfill the prophecy of no demand.

It's a pity Chris Froome owns a share of Factor Bikes as their bikes look quite cool but he precludes the ownership of one.

I mean, if the legal system stopped suppressing the names of alleged and now even convicted rapists, based on their wealth and fame, maybe they and other men wouldn’t feel emboldened to just keep on raping women…but what would I know.

The only good thing about Brexit, even if has taken 10 years to materialise? TNT Sports splitting from @eurosports.bsky.social means we don't have to have endure the torture of Adam Blythe on the back of a moto in stage at #letour. And his love of his own voice. #tdf2026 #tdf @hbomax.bsky.social

Cycling has become like bull fighting. We all know how it's going to end for the bull. In cycling the entire field is the bull. With Tadej Pogačar in the field we all know how the field becomes the poor bull any time he feels like being the matador.

This is BS. Why lie @nothoodlum.bsky.social ? South Africa for one has no universal health care. Côte d'Ivoire has almost no medical infrastructure and 1 doctor per 10,000 people. But I guess you don't even know where they're from.

I'm not enjoying the press I have supported for years showing this hateful, evil and ignorant arsehole at the top of their app every day. By doing it they are giving her a platform she does not deserve. Please do better @australia.theguardian.com

Riding on @gozwift.bsky.social today I spotted a rider who caught my eye. The reason? 1,032 km covered in one ride. This made we wonder what sort of Herculean rides are in the record books @zwiftinsider.com Sadly they were nameless.
Rider on Zwift having ridden 1,032 km in one 25 hour ride with 5,643 vertical metres. Riding the Specialized hero game bike.

Taking forever to build the scaffolding to remove that awful name from the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center. Putting the name up took no time at all Symbolic of how long it is going to take to fix USA once they get rid of this regime.
