Cycling, more cycling and a sprinkle of motorsickles. Bikes are gid 🏴🇪🇺 Live life on 2 wheels 🙂
I’d have to pay tax to import from the states 😟 It annoys me this is my least ridden bike. Part of the spruce up is to put me in the mindset to ride it more. New integrated Roval Control bars are going on as step 1.
App gives levels. Needs a firmware update again - that’s something else than can mess up the shifting!
I looked over from my desk in the office today and this was my side view: 2 dream bikes but both very dirty dreams. Need a wash!
I got to the island and the batteries in my camera died - charger I was using was dodgy. Had to use my phone for all the pics. Not bad for an old model iPhone. 🙂 If you ever get the chance to visit Staffa, go!
The roof of the cave is impressive, as is the entrance as is the geology as are the puffins. Staffa nature reserve is a special place.
I’ve dismantled a bed frame today. We’ve had the bed since 1997, I noticed some pencil text underneath & I’ve got 2 wishes: • I hope Scottie’s mom is still with us. • I hope Scottie’s mom is still loved. 🥰 ♥️
Might even finish the refurbishment, owned since ’82. Not fancy but way too long to ever let go.
Just want to say I f88king love this bicycle. The Tarmac SL9 will probably be ever so slightly better in some areas, just like the SL8 is slightly better than the SL7. In the real world they’ll be nothing in it. SL8 is the best all round road bike I’ve ever ridden and the includes the Cervelo S5.
Tried my carbon 6 spoke wheels on the road out of sheer curiosity: Better than I thought, very direct, you can feel everything to the point of zero compliance. Overall, better for the silky smooth cycle circuit where I normally use them. #specialized #tarmacSL7 #velosix
Never in my life did I ever think I’d sit on a cruiser. Ever. Turns out it’s quite comfy. Bought this morning for my youngest, Honda Rebel 500. It’s what he likes & that’s ok with me. I’ll be getting an open face lid next. 😂
Maybe, just maybe journalists are starting to take on board Surron’s & there ilk are not e-bikes.
Being the owner of 2 current generation Crux’s I can honestly say it’s most versatile bike I’ve ever owned. Cyclocross Gravel Racing Touring Road riding Does it all ❤️ Not selling. Might buy the new Frameset though 🙂
Happy Time Trial Friday to those who partake. Ready, just need a bottle of ride fast. A couple of litres should do.
@pbcyclewrites.bsky.social Have a look at the BOA FS2 short that dropped earlier: Hint-
I really like my Evade 3, really good helmet, getting pretty worn now. Will I get an Evade 4? Probably. Would I buy it in ‘metallic jobby brown’? Err, hard no. Who is this colour for?
This is the most bicycle geek post I’ve ever made, & not sorry for it either. The Specialized SWAT mount tickles me just the right way. A little bolt in bracket on the rear of the saddle and that rear light just looks so part of the system. I really like this. 😁
