Re: Air Quality in Sydney
It's the PM2.5 that you've really got to be careful of. Very small and hard for the body to get rid of without absorbing. This is what makes diesel particulates cancerous.

Re: Spring Ride October 2013
IF you take the train, better to go on the inner west line, as you have to change to the north shore line at central and it's on the same platform. You just have to get off and then get on the other train that's usually waiting.

Re: Spring Ride October 2013
It's a good day, but if you don't get away early at the start it gets very chaotic what with all the seven year olds and viewing of the panoramas. I'd go if we went earlyish in a slow but disciplined group just to make a good and very red point.

Re: Tokyo Wheels - Second Opinion?
If you can actually buy them. I have two that I have to modify the spokes from other wheelsets because they don't make them anymore. They're like six years old!I'm a little allergic to factory wheels as they sometimes use very specific spokes that can be expensive if you snap one.

Re: Nonbikerelated talking thread. (nsfw)
With wet tarmac and plastic cleats there might be some "outrigger" advantage if your groin was strong enough, but it would only save you from a minor miscalculation in my opinion, and leave you open to 'high siding' (not good). It would also have the effect of actually raising your centre ...
