I was thinking the same thing, maybe just a different lady...

Yes, you can say you have more expensive pedals

Put the PT on your race bike... You need the stats from racing more than the training ones.

Adidas!

Definitely an improvement in performance. I went from Time to SPD (a borrowed bike when I didn't have my own for a while) and back to Time. I now ride KEO's. I always said I'd never ride Look, but I actually wouldn't go back to Time now...

I think that the issue has more to it than style alone. On the road you will need more steady, smooth peadalling rythmn than on a MTB. The SPD does not lend itself to this, as the platform is quite small and does allow for a certain amount of un-eveness in the pedal stroke. I'm sure J Boringman or someone else will be glad to agree or disagree with me with lotsa technical data, but I have used SPD on the road and that was my experience.

I use the el cheapo Raleigh stuff you get at Game and Makro. Works brilliantly.

Why change your car's oil when your girlfriend can do it? So I was sitting there the other day watching my girlfriend change the oil in my car, ... the rest is kinda censored for this forum, read it here: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=oil

spare bike?

Sies! I'm shocked! It is also perfectly acceptable for a woman to be in the garage changing the oil filter on the car, in the drive washing the car, out back mowing the lawn...

Ya, go figure. Like you see in sitcoms on TV, some guy will go to the doc with crotch rot or some such, and say that his friend has such and such symptoms. No really, I seen it on TV, not me...

Hey, I saw a chick on pink ktm in the rain there yesterday. I just thought she was crazy.

Answer... Why would you want to?

Currently, it has become so symbolic of irrefutable logic that "Q.E.D." is occasionally used in non-mathematical contexts as well to intensify assertions; in this context it has little connection with rigorous deduction, however, and is more tongue-in-cheek.

Q.E.D. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" (literally, "which was to be demonstrated"). The phrase is written in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument, to signify that the last statement deduced was the one to be demonstrated, so the proof is complete.

Pretty daft for a local team to be advertising Skoda don't ya think?

It's for the poor service, delays and general incompetence. You think finding such poorly informed and un-helpfull staff is cheap?

Hey, Opel OPC, my neighbour just bought one (the OPC that is) he reckons it's so fast blah blah blah, he's really full of **** isn't he? I mean it's a cruddy Opel after all, right?

Eeewww!

I assume Kate tastes better too?

You guys are both off the mark here. We spend a lot of time on our bikes and with other riders. We know when something doesn't look/feel/seem right. I am not suggesting that we go around accusing people falsely, but awareness is half the battle against crime. If I can give you two examples: We have a local community forum in our neighbourhood, wherin we communicate via e-mail various peices of info. One of these pieces of info is suspicious vehicles and or persons in the area. One such vehicle had it's registration number posted, and a few days later it tried to hi-jack my wife. Fortunately she had the fore-warning to evade this attempt. Second, a few years back I was driving into Edenvale, and was waiting at the robot at the intesection of Park Meadow and Modderfontein road. I guy walked past the front of my car pushing a Flanders which I recognised as being similar to a bike ridden by a guy in my usual bunch. I contacted the police, and using that info,they managed to apprehend the guy and return the bike. But carry on and stick your collective heads in the sand. You will be happy in the knowledge that ignorance truly is bliss.
