Last night I finished the first and probably last prototype of bat-ears. (b comes before c). I did it out of bubble wrap, tape and thick cardboard. I chose bubble wrap as it was adaptable as well as an insulator. The bubble wrap - face side had the bubbles squashed and the three layers of...

ehhhh? Uh haaaaa Jailhouse Rock. emmm I think I will be a bit macho and experiment with bubble wrap. I am not proficient enough yet to put my finger in front of my ear when doing 30mph.

My PB is 46.03 kph, My objective is 50 kph .... I can either do it the hard way or the easy way. The difference in speed is 2.485 mph so if I did get that helmet I am pretty sure I've cracked it. The hard way is I lose more weight and look like one of those emaciated roadies. Probably get the...

Guess I should have narrated something on the video but I was concentrated on panning with the other hand and keeping the bike still. Guess I will have to get a camera on the hat as well. Anyways trying to keep the budget down. Still thinking about buying a Giro Air attack shield helmet. Gee...

Well after Sundays torturous ride what with a rear flat and having to walk here there and everywhere, I was determined today to have a ride of my life. I achieved two personal bests today, the first being speed on the flat 46.03 kph, cadence rate was really good 19% in the high for the whole...

Emmm I eat my hat today. Had a puncture with the rear inner tube 40 km from home. Tried the untested CO2 injector and it didn't work. LOL. So had a nice walk to the petrol station. Not chuffed. Got up at 7 am ... no wind... no clouds. Birds twittering and no cars. Gosh ... I luv Sundays. Changed...

Sealant is a mess. I stopped using it, especially after finding that the sealant that I was using contained ammonia; which give the sealant a longer life but corrodes the aluminium rim . I find cheap Chinese inner tubes are not the way either. So I spend a little more and get a better inner...

I just ordered one of those Racing Jerseys... guess that makes me a competitor... they look really good and I have been looking around for a pocket in the front for ages. Thank You!

Hey, I watched the whole video... Not really into competition but like beating my personal best as it makes me think I am performing better. Larry, I am impressed with your speed. Would love to go 8 mph faster but have a number of issues. Typically carrying too much weight. Bag of goodies in the...

This power meter looks like a good investment https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/limits-the-world-s-smartest-cycling-power-meter Today my brother and I met for a little cycling around the uk. We are using some cheap real heavy steel DF bikes without clips. I am so use to spinning that I just...

Kind of curious I noticed that the front wheel had the cover on and not the back wheel. I always thought the drag coefficient was on the rear end. Perhaps someone can tell me? As I am thinking of putting covers on. Personally I would have thought it would be safer on the rear as the front seems...

Such is the desire to go fast that the handlebars have been moved further forward and down. The bike feels quite different than an easy rider position that I had. The new position is definitely more aero. I am going to have to change the tyres. I have found quite a number of loose things on the...

Keep with it You Like a challenge for sure. I would recommend the ventisit seat pad. Get the comfort version. It will keep your back cool and take some of the shock away from any bumps (sleeping policemen). I have race tyres on my Vendetta and those real hard sleeping policemen aren't nice. I...

Updates The Ventisit seat pad is fabulous, so is the shimano ultegra 11/32t cassette that was fitted two weeks ago. The huge chainwheels are not so large after all. LOL! Because i only have 11t difference with the gears on the chainwheel i am able to use the short gate on the rear...

Today's Ride was to ride as hard as I could for as long as I could. When one tries some new experience, like riding the Vendetta flat out, the general sensation is one of fear. But if you can stay in the fear for long enough you either die of fright or get the wonderful feeling of elation...

Fantastic job satisfaction. Why wait all that time when there was so much fun to be had!!!! So the finished product... well minus the mirror... but that got put on tonight... Nothing quite like an early morning ride at sunrise before the heat kicks in. I can be very active for...
