@alexb618

too hard to tell from the angles ive seen, do you have any other angles?

not so much but the fact that when the spanird finally does get over the line with his bike his tire is completly off only held in by being trapped by the forks, and they just dont seem close enough together for it to be a bumb that sets it off

If Mrs Spirito is capable of inducing such paroxysms during your marital congress maybe Mrs Commuter would like to know how she does it (but maybe not the vomit move :p)

Paroxysms …thanks, learnt a new word.

We’re not actually married … but might as well be/act like we are etc. What can I say … the chick’s a star (and I know that) and she loves me, and she rides a bike (lots). She’s got me by the Campy bottom bracket cups and that’s a good thing

Sorry, going back a bit here:

@nikcee

From an article my dad sent me:
“Another of the injured cyclists, New Zealander Richard Dawkins, who hit the track face first, got up and wheeled his bike over the line before he too collapsed.”

I’ve never seen Richard Dawkins on a bike, though I don’t imagine he’d be opposed to the idea.

Here’s Edward Dawkins:

And here’s the quote.

if that was only a 23cm splinter, i would love to see the 45cm one Jason Queally had

footage was used in the doco, ‘the genius of charles darwin’… i think. could have been ‘root of all evil?’

Mrs. Spirito has denied any involvement in said paroxysms and suggested that what I get up to in my private “man time” is best left unsaid. In regard to advising Mrs. Commuter, Mrs. Spirito mentioned something about separate bank accounts and bathrooms helps a lot ?!?!

YMMV
