Edition 507 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Nope - a set of pliers gets attatched to see the true grit of the patient.... :clap:OK, I thought maybe you could stick each end to a battery to stimulate more powerful muscle contractions, but that might be considered mechanical doping!

Pure Savage Posted April 14, 2016 Share Correct decision but which is more dangerous in the peloton, disc brakes or motorbikes?If they banning all disc brakes maybe they are including the motos which have discs [emoji28] Two turkeys, one disc rotor!!

GLuvsMtb Posted April 14, 2016 Share Having compared the two, in the dry there is very little difference between the disc and rim, you can use maybe one less finger on the disc for same amount of braking. Yoh, those accidents are crazy! They are the pro's they should decide if discs are allowed in their peleton.Thats a no-brainer - The likes of Movistar on Canyon Aeroads (with no disc brake compatible frame in their top end stable) will oppose it and the Spez boys (with top-end disc brake compatible bikes) will support it.

Edition 507 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Surely that would be electrical doping?Or perhaps Electrobiomechanical doping. They are going to have to start x-raying cyclist for battery implants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted April 14, 2016 Share Must have some nerve damage as well hence the reason they installed fibre optic cables in his leg Did a local roadside vet do that staple work?I mean, I am no plastic surgeon, but that is some pretty agricultural work there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edition 507 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Next up: Lets ban spokes - a stray spoke on a broken wheel can puncture a lung. And those carbon seat posts and handle bars, sheered off by impact can create a potentially fatal puncture would too. A pedal that breaks off at the shaft with an exposed shaft through the quad... eina!I guess we should all go and play soccer now.Little bicycle airbags might be a solution, you know, like front rider airbag and side curtain airbags, and a passenger airbag for tandems.

Baracuda Posted April 14, 2016 Share Is it just me that can't see how a disc could cause that injury to a left leg of the rider, especially given that he did not actually fall? The disc is on the left side, and his left leg had a whole bike between it and the bike he crashed into. Exactly, something doesn't quite add up there. He would have to unclip and get his whole leg over the back wheel. Surely the tire and rim rubbing / shredding your upper thigh and kajoolies would also be noticed? Or did he bang it against an 11-speed cluster rotating at high speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted April 14, 2016 Share drugs are far more dangerous in the peloton, they should ban those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
