Indeed. It's mostly gravel light over here but wow there are millions of trails all over the place. Gravel travel heavan over here :-) Next time you're here I will show you....
It's way cooler than you think. It was in South Africa as a tribute to Nelson Mandela! Well that one was some years ago - if she has done another one then double holy toledo!!
I don't get it. I ask people to call me Eldron..."Hello Eldron". If I asked them to call me she then it all goes pear shaped. Keep your judgement in your pocket and respect the person. It ain't that difficult.
If you compare apples and apples (local veggies versus local meat) then veggies beat meat hands down. The basic principle is cutting out the middleman (animal) by growing veg and feeding it to humans makes the supply chain shorter and less damaging to the environment. Personally I think the answer is reducing meat consumption dramatically not removing it completely. Reducing meat is better for human health and the planet. A no brainer really.
Interesting for sure. Making changes to the education of girls in the countries with expanding populations is pretty tough. Hell SA can't get it right and it is in a much better situation than most of Africa. 1 household won't make a difference but 3 billion households each making small purchasing and lifestyle changes would be significant. Also - it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. What I can't understand is why people wouldn't want to change. It's patently obvious that we're consuming the planet - why not do our little bit?
Having less people on the planet requires quite a large behavioural change in a global scale. All change is uncomfortable - eating less/no meat is a pretty darn easy one.
Carbon assembly paste. It has some grit it in which increases friction between post and frame. Edit: There is also a cheaper version. I once pitched up at a race with a freshly built bike and the seat post was slipping down on the warm up so I pulled it out, grabbed some dirt from the trail and poured it onto the greased portion of the post. The big stuff fell off leaving a nice, fine, friction making coating. Worked 100%
If you're gunking up you're either over lubing or not wiping the old lube off before you apply more. Or if youre using a wax lube you're not letting it dry before riding.
I do like the way they call it world champs we know that few countries apart from Holland and Belgium are going to win anything. For the women it's basically a rerun of the Dutch national champs :-)
