As much as I've enjoyed the gym this year today is the day I get my goto bike fixed so I can get back out on the trails/road. Still not quite got my head round how the gear cable managed to wrap itself a full rotation round the bottom bracket from a loose branch on the path.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the

is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

i don't think this is an unpopular opinion. the issue is that this article, and MANY MANY others have continued to miscategorize e-motos as e-bikes. e-bikes have not "evolved" into e-motos, they've both existed for along but media outlets have refused to note the difference.

I miss GCN+ more and more every day. Forcing cycling behind a bigger paywall where you are primarily paying for dross is only going to harm the sport in the UK. Eurosport was fantastic and unique, TNT Sports and Discovery+ are £32 for almost exclusively terrible content.

Looks like discovery plus are stuffing cycling even deeper into the paywall. Will be cancelling. I just can't justify paying £30+ a month. That alongside itv dropping TDF coverage means I'm lost.
