That would be the perfect gift of thanks, getting one of his heros actual race bikes that he already has the gear for, he probably has some spare parts already too.

So cool to see these clips of Sagan avoiding crashes. He definitely has mountain biker reflexes. Those same movements he used to avoid the Gaviria crash and the corner slip are the same I’d use while mountain biking. When descending you constantly have to move the bike in that same motion to avoid trees, roots rocks and more. When then dirt in a corner has less traction than expected, you similarly have to briefly touch the ground with your foot. He’s better than I could ever be at it though!

That Michael Rogers story! Truly amazing. As a cycling enthusiast and fan I have had a few experiences but nothing like that one. :) For a long time I have been passionate about training on a road racing bike and ofcourse I get inspired by following the world tour aswell. Late in 2011 I was visiting some family for a few days and since I couldn't ride I chose to go for a spinning class at a local fitness centre. When I saw the name of the spinning instructor I realized that it probably was the same man who had previously won medals on the track at the last olympic games. This was actually Michael Mørkøv himself before his 2012 debut at Tour de France. I had a brief talk with him after the spinning session was done. He is a very calm guy. I mentioned something about my passion for cycling and he even gave me some advice. In the following years Mørkøv established himself as the number one lead out rider for some of the top sprinters. Mark Cavendish was one of them. Amazing rider! :)

One of my favourite memories was a finish scene in the 90s, during one of the big nationwide races like Tour de France or Giro d'Italia. The leader entered the final straight and raised his hands to cross the line, like many cyclists do. But the guy in scond place does a final sprint, passes him, and raises his hands in the same gesture, winning the race. This taught me to not celebrate too early

They should forbid the raising of the hands as you go across the finish line because it ruins the race, and is very dangerous when you get past in the last few moments. It’s also kind of pathetically needy.

The last clip is just fascinating, first time I've seen a carbon fiber gets deformed then comes back to its original shape. A Carbon fiber in general once it reached its critical point (catastrophic failure), it will just snapped and shatter into pieces.

@AlexandarHullRichter

Жыл бұрын

Common misconception. Carbon fiber does not shatter. It will tear and become flexible like the cloth that it is. A broken carbon rim or frame is absolutely useless, but the pieces almost always stick together and just become extremely flexible at the point of failure. I've seen a number of broken carbon frames, and none of them had missing pieces because the broken pieces all stuck to each other like that. It is way easier to bend a piece of metal back and forth until the parts separate than it is to bend a carbon part back and forth until the parts separate.

I think there's 2 categories of classifying carbon fiber based on preparation, I think the carbon fiber that shatters is the type that is cooked in an autoclave, example is pagani chassis and panels, the Zonda and Huayra parts are molded and formed, then are vacuum packed, then cooked in an autoclave in high temperature and pressure for at least 12 hours, this type of carbon fiber is very strong because the atoms line up when cooked in high temp (similar to how diamonds and granite get their strength) but the caveat is these materials tend to shatter when they reach a breaking point, now the other category is probably carbon fiber that is not cooked but just glued and molded together then probably vacuum sealed, but this one skips the cooking part, I think this is the type which is more prevalent in the biking scene, and this probably explains why this type of carbon fiber does not shatter but acts almost like a cloth when breaking....

I've been chipped up into the air off a t bone and continued riding, my feet came off the pedals but I kept my forward trajectory and my hand and ass in place. Pretty sure the drive side pedal of my fixed gear drive train caught the bumper from above and lifted me up over a foot into the air and to the left with the momentum of the car hitting me from the side. I'm in a full sprint to get thru this intersection I had the right of way on and this car starts coming across the road right as I'm getting to it, so I'm either t boning them or they are t boning me. Was able land in the shoulder and ride out a short section that led into a crunchy snow bluff that filled the rest of the shoulder. That brought me to a cruising speed and back onto the street.

The first clip is a fixed gear bike which means the rear cog is fixed to the wheel. There isn't a cassette to stop pedaling, ever. Him letting the cranks free spin is what gained him the most speed.

Love watching documentation like this.

I rode for many years in very hilly areas, eventually got where I always left it in 10th gear, made myself crank it out with my legs never standing on the pedals. Had this one damn hill, almost a 45 degree incline. Only a block long. Yeah, only. Finally made it from a dead stop at bottom to the top in 10th, butt on the seat. My other goal was getting "crazy legs fast" like if you're in 1st gear ...but in 10th. I would crank long hills till my legs literally gave out and I fell over. Get a little further next time. Then I moved to Florida for a while...flat as a pancake. I rode 8 miles to work everyday, I'd work all day Saturday, get off at 5 and be on the beach at Daytona 50 miles away by 7, 6:30 or sooner if I didn't get chased off the freeway. I got pulled over in Orlando for doing 45 in a 30 one day but they just gave me a warning...(dammit, I'd have framed a speeding ticket) $120 Murray 10 speed from Service Merchandise I think, big handlebar bag for my work clothes. I got some super skinny rims and tires, I only made like a 1/4 inch contact patch. Other than that just stock, lubed well and tuned to noiseless...you just heard the wind in the spokes. (you're chain, shifter, gears shouldn't make any noise as you pedal or you have drag.) Fastest I ever got clocked at was 51 mph, flat ground, riding next to a dude in a grey Ferrari (Magnum PI model). I was close enough to see his digital speedometer but he was yelling it out too. Ran out of good road or I might done more...I wasn't at "crazy legs" yet.
