Hoping for a quicker but comfier ride for longer distances than the older Trek 2.1 road bike I've got.

It's very nice in the flesh. It's making me pine for a new bike and I'm definitely not in the market.

That's a lot of fun, 3 PRs on the way home though I did get a lot of help from the wind. It's absolutely rock solid cornering despite being quite a bit lighter than my other road bike.

Yeah, I think this will be alright

So I went on a ride on Sunday with my GPS / HR watch strapped on...

Really like the detail you get back from this tech. I use runtastic to track my rides at the moment but got a cheap android phone recently that I want to use as a speedo for the bike - thinking of using Strava on this... does it give a big display of speed etc?....

Anyway good ride although there was a stinger of hill in the last quarter of the ride...

I did that, once, but I went up and over. I think I'd fallen asleep.

Me too but it was years ago as a kid borrowed my mates bike and it was a bit to big for me at the time... Although didn't hit the back of the car so hard...

His face absorbed that impact quite well.

I've done that too, although I didn't have a choice - Mondeo man reversed out of a parking space into me as I was hammering down the road with a lorry on my right hand side. As my chin bounced across the roof of his car I remember thinking "good job his sunroof isn't tilted"...

I have never done that.

And I'm pretty certain typing that has increased the chances of it happening hugely

Good lord!

Amazing someone hooning about in a chelsea tractor goes crackers about cyclists taking up too much space

Not sure there's any legal obligation for eloquence though I do think you're not really allowed to try and run cyclists off the road

To be honest I can't believe all he was done for was threatening behaviour. That's some pretty dangerous driving he hasn't been sanctioned for.
