In early 2026, while navigating the strange, often silent limbo between professional cycling contracts, Kulset didn't just climb the Alpe; he "Everested" it. In doing so, he set the fastest known time for a virtual Everesting on this specific segment: https://t.co/Gc7KrwQ4Yj
Vegvesenets inkompetanse kapper vingene av sykkelsporten i Norge, skriver jeg på https://t.co/Fl2lk4myC8 i dag.
Deres risikoanalyse er så svak, og får så store konsekvenser at det er umulig å akseptere.
@Presserom
So this winter I have trained differently than previous years, and yesterday was another sign of improvement. I have set power PBs in everything from 5min to 7hours the last months.
It’s nothing fancy, no revolutionary things. It’s just focusing on what kind of rider I really am
@DavideHansen Tv2 bruker 750millioner kr på rettighetene til Eliteserien i fotball, skal visstnok ha brukt i underkant av 50millioner på sykkel tidligere (potensielt mindre nå som de knapt nok sender ritt). Make it make sense
Every woman I know who rides has a story about a guy who couldn't handle getting passed
Sarah came home from a ride last week and told me about some lad who caught up to her on country lanes, didn't say a word, just sat on her wheel.
Uninvited. Silent. Out in the middle of nowhere.
I don't think this is a cycling etiquette debate. That's just creepy.
Week before that, she passed someone. Just riding at her endurance pace. She got maybe 200 meters ahead when he came sprinting back around her, clearly twisting himself inside out, zone 4 or higher, just to get back in front.
I mentioned this to a few female friends who ride.
Every single one had similar stories.
I've created two new characters in my head.
The uninvited wheelsucker & the fragile ego guy who can't let a woman stay ahead so he burns matches he doesn't have just to restore some imagined natural order.
I find myself now (sitting on the toilet 😂) scanning Strava files searching for the flat endurance ride with one massive power spike
One of the characters has struck 😂
If your sense of self requires every woman you encounter to be slower than you, you might need to reexamine that identity.
Wake up call, girls are good at cycling!
I won't last 5km in a female world tour race.
This is a public service announcement post - don't be one of "those guys"
You think nobody notices. Everyone notices.
The women you're creeping out notice.
Other riders notice and avoid you.
Cycling culture talks about respect.
About looking out for each other.
Competence isn't gendered.
Performance isn't gendered.
Only insecurity is.
@GAambroz77@laflammerouge16 Pros (and cyclists in general) definitely should be a lot more careful downhill and in traffic. Seeing them ride on red or cut blind corners makes me understand a bit of why some drivers hate cyclists
@GAambroz77@laflammerouge16 I’m not blaming Pedro, Jonas crashed on his own. I’m trying to explain what might have been going through Jonas’ head when going too fast downhill
@GAambroz77@laflammerouge16 You can say it’s his nature to have people behind him. But who’s to blame if one stops at a STOP sign, and the person behind doesn’t…
After reading about Vingegaard crashing on training yesterday and the total amount of random riders jumping onto pro’s wheels.
I have a question.
How would you feel about a random person breathing down your neck at work? Without asking if you are fine with it…
I’ll happily let people ride on my wheel if they ask, but if they don’t I feel uncomfortable, and to some degree unsafe. I don’t know how good of a bike handler you are, I don’t know how aware you are, I don’t know how safe in traffic you are.
