man. rides and races bicycles. has wife. opinions my own but I don't necessarily agree with them.

@DanBiggles22 the answer is to go back to the days when cycling was semi professional and riders weren't willing to risk their lives for a prime that now pays $5000

@unclecycling @petosagan Thank you for this thread. Surrounded my lies and conspiracy theories on X where people simply make things up, we bring you this thread on Peter Sagan. It is a pity so much stuff is just made up on X. I am careful not to draw a straight line here of course.

@CoxyJindas But there are only limited resources to address it, mostly due to health care for injured victims requiring 5 x the resources that would have been needed to prevent it.

[Julian DB @delbified]

@EscapeCycling are there not examples where UCI commissaires have penalised riders for similar, previous actions?

[Julian DB @delbified]

@LisaEbtg @ringsau Look at what Froome threw at his salbutamol case. Anyone else would have been fried.

[Julian DB @delbified]

@LisaEbtg @ringsau This is the problem. Rich man's justice

[Julian DB @delbified]

@BruceSierra @OhioBikeLawyer You don't need insurance when the other party is at fault. They are forced to cover it

[Julian DB @delbified]

@ringsau Exactly. There's precedent for absolving athletes who could prove corticosteroid ingestion through a cream applied to skin. Maybe not the precedent Sinner would choose to lean on 😃

@BenFordhamLive there must be a small part of your soul that leaves your body every time you are compelled to trot out ridiculous "strong opinions" like this

[Julian DB @delbified]

@bicycle_network The evidence shows that almost all pedestrian trauma is caused by motor vehicles. Riding a bike through a red light is still illegal, but so is smoking pot.

[Julian DB @delbified]

Absolute shitshow at @mtbuller. Parked at P1 and waiting for village shuttle. Running massively over capacity due to lack of buses with everyone having paid extortionate prices to wait around for shuttle. Don't even think about coming up here on the weekend.

What is the record for GT stage wins in a year? @mwkeenan @Bridie_OD We're playing in-car trivia driving back from Qld state champs. @SBSSportau #couchpeloton

@triviumcolombia Extreme chain line derails the chain off the bottom of the ring when back pedaling

[Julian DB @delbified]

@INEOSGrenadiers all day if it's on flat roads. as soon as it goes uphill - not so much

[Julian DB @delbified]

@TCorbett2908 @SBSSportau @Bridie_OD @SBS @SBSOnDemand It would certainly be a popular option with riders.

[Julian DB @delbified]

@TCorbett2908 @SBSSportau @Bridie_OD @SBS @SBSOnDemand "OK you've passed the test, you can rejoin the race"
"Where are they?"
"Oh about 5km ahead, you better get moving!"

[Julian DB @delbified]

@UnwalkableBris1 @bne_lordmayor why doesn't he just get rid of all the pedestrian crossings then? it's obvious surely?

[Julian DB @delbified]

@BicycleAdagio If she were hit by a bicycle courier who was weaving in traffic, I doubt they'd be so quick to urge leniency. People are really conditioned to forgive dangerous driving. Most likely as it's something many of us can empathise with.

[Julian DB @delbified]

@NickJMButler There are a whole lot of sports fans who read and comment on doping matters, judging an athlete who is also reading about doping matters. If it's just that he read an article, that's not very suspicious.
