Apart from a serious "weggie", this is probably the closest most of us will come to flying.

Where exactly is the pain?

Funny how what I, and MANY other say need to be backed up by a row of scientists and double-blind tests - and what you say can be backed up with a cup of cocoa and a fuzzy blanket. Don't waste my time.

Please go stand by the kumbaya crowd, the rest of us would like to discuss facts with a side of science.

The other guy doesn't have much carbon under the "knee" except for the blades, hence they to appear longer. To quote you again: "but also the huge reduction in weight". This was one of my arguements when it came to running against able bodies athletes. And now using that same arguement against other disabled athletes? Na-ah, can't have it both ways.

It seems you didn't read the piece on the previous page about his lack of legspeed. Had he had "normal" legs, he wouldn't be anywhere near an athletics meet.

Because their opinion is based on emotions and not logical debate and/or facts.

Damn you all for bringing science, facts and logic into this! Didn't you know people just want a hot cuppa "feelgood" and look the other way.

And you'll be flamed for your opinion, as I was. Like I've said, some people value the kumbaya / feelgood factor more than logic and plain old right and wrong. Golden/Poster Boy lost, tough. It happens. Like you said... maybe cyclists should be protesting because the winner's tyres had a slightly lower rolling resistance. If he tried his luck at the able bodied Olympics using mechinical tools, who is he to complain? And boo-fkin-hoo that someone else "out-teched" him at the Paralymics.

So he is complaining that the other guys legs were too long. Flip well that settles it, Usain Bolt should be disqualified!!!

Hey, who the hell are you to ask logical questions??? Didn't you know the "feel good" factor of overcoming adversity is allot more important?

My American Classic Race 29 wheels have a claimed weight of 1419g.

That's the loophole right there buddy... Wait till the ring is put on her finger

Guess I got it lucky then. My wife throws me out of the house if I don't cycle enough. She cycles as well, so there is a mutual understanding.

Those bikes just scream Pavel Tonkov.

And the best way to try for a baby, is not to try. If you stress it you are killing your chances. Just have fun and it'll happen.

I didn't cut back at all, and I ride quite a bit. Perfect baby girl is almost a year old. Wife told me all kinds of bangmaak stories like you'll get swimmers with broken tails etc. Rubbish. Unless you get numb nuts on the saddle I don't see any problems.

R100. Ek het nou met die organisers gepraat. Lees die eerste post vir updates. Gaan hom nou update.

Well if you ask me, even the "right" one is wrong. That helmet looks terribly backwards...

Still wondering what those "kloof" manne are going to do with those SatNav systems. GPS track their sheep?

Sal baie lekker wees om julle daar te he! Bring net genoeg pak plek vir al die braaipakke en ander snacks wat julle gaan koop! Dit is seriously give-away pryse vir vleis etc. Ek het laasjaar soveel quality vleis gewen ek moes twee keer kar toe loop om dit te laai.

Op die dag by die race. Kan 'n pre-entry vir jou organise, maar nie juis nodig nie. Die mense is nie vol str0nt nie, hulle gaan jou nie laat "late entry fees" betaal nie. Registration begin 6:30. Dis 'n plaas race boet, manne met dik kouse!

Yeah its pretty flat. There are a few steep sections though and it does get to you if you smack it hard.
