So she's been caught speeding and got caught again, and again, and again, and again!

Can depression be genetic?

Try 3 cats, it's the shit.

My sloth demon wants me to play the new mario kart and eat curries. I have married her.

What constitutes "more than a few" here?

Life's no fun if you can't gatekeep your local chippy.

We have them in the Cotswolds - they're a nationwide experiment in cardiac endangerment!

They exist minutes from my front door.

I like a few but after a while they feel a bit much...

Give me good old chippy chips with vinegar and salt and I'm a happy man.

Fair enough - I suppose it's a caution borne out of experience of the awful roads by me - I've had a lot of unsealable punctures on the roads near me (from gashes to a bit of glass that wiggled around just enough to not seal).

As a result I always caveat advice to go tubeless - for "proper" punctures (anything more serious than a pin prick or snakebite) tubeless can be a can of worms, and give people a sense of confidence that inner tube users don't have (wisely).

Granted it's also down to tyre choice (you can pry my patched panaracers from my cold dead hands) but a tyre pissing sealant and air is much more of a hassle to deal with than an inner tube in my experience.

The TL;DW is that bike gears are often not low enough.

If you give me a lever long enough, and all that.

The assumption here, though, is that climbing is all you care about, and not an average speed across a ride.

I'm by no means fast but I certainly won't make it to the pub for lunch if my gearing was as low as it would need to be for me to make it up a hill using the same amount of effort if expend to travel moderately on the flat...

I think it's more to do with standardising the frames, right? Avoids weird funky stuff like the lotus bikes providing an "unsporting" advantage - much like with O'Bree's bikes?
