    Bikeism Sucks

    welcome to audax. a challenge of yourself. i have seen many lessons dished out by lesser cyclists and seen A graders fail despite their elite fitness and ability literally crying on the side of the road. audax is about riding smart smart smart. so you do not need to be a superfit young...

    Bikeism Sucks

    your example is a good reason not to give up and accept the status quo. the group i mentioned was formed by the well meaning originator to bring together in his words "a disorganised disparate toxic cycling communtity fragmented by their nihilistic behaviour and egos feeding off each other...

    Latex Larry and the case of blown out tire

    another case of aero beats weight with more convenience. it was the convenience of clinchers that led to the choice of enve 6.7 for me despite the added weight. around 350 grams. but the interface of a 25mm tyre gives a much better aerodynamic than the tubs. train on clinchers and race on...
