This is pickup truck culture in the U.S. They are the most aggressive drivers, angry drivers really, carrying out their political-cultural zeal behind the wheel. Deserves a long sentence.

One of the best things Top Gear did was to drive through Alabama with slogans on their vehicles designed to offend the bigots

That was my favorite, hiding from Nascar bigots was soo funny and frightening at the same time.

It’s been a long time since I last watched that. Scary but hilarious :joy:

Fecking brutal race today.

Living up to its nickname, for sure.

Wall Street Journal noted how cycling fans were cheering the first Paris Roubaix in bad weather for 20 years, as if the cobbles themselves aren’t enough to satisfy their bloodlust. Bring them home safe, please.

It’s bloody carnage.

Getting myself another Cannondale soon in my efforts to get a bike for each and every outdoor condition…
Looking forward to the warm weather breaking through in the next couple of months and get some fresh air into my lungs again… can’t wait :0)

Well I was naughty.

Little one had a new bike this Christmas so Daddy had to have one too! It’s very important that we go off and spend time together on bikes.

So I got myself this. It’s old but in good nick and will do me fine to get back into off road cycling. Haven’t done it on years but also a little easier to basically get back into some fitness level.

We’ve had 2 afternoons at Coed y Brenin already.

Won’t believe it’s yours until I see a pic of the lycra.

Are you being kinky?

Not at all.

My man crush on MvdP is getting so big I’m seriously considering one of these…

Nothing so stylish here. I can do the budget version. Might need some extra socks for padding purposes
