Cyclist branded 'stupid'

@Cunobelin .... meh!

I like riding with no hands.. though not that great at it these days.

and here's the proof. @ianrauk wobbling through France

hoodie on, hands in pockets cos its cold. turning corners no handed

thats me going to the shops for more beer.

I could ride and steer with no hands as kid, no problem, but now I can't, not for more than few seconds..... and I try most days.

I wonder if changes in frame and fork geometry over the years have had an effect? I struggle too, nowadays, whereas I had no problem as a kid.

A single pannier, no helmet, and smoking a joint, while eating a dead cat.

Balance?

If panniers were meant to be used singly (Insert chosen Deity) would not have made them in pairs!!!!!!

All those exclamation marks don't make you any less wrong.

People who think only one pannier affects balance are clearly inexperienced when it comes to using a pannier.

 

[Drago]

It's not clever to use only one pannier when carrying an anvil

We're not all as stupid as you

It is just common sense that a weight on one side causes an imbalance
You are wasting energy balancing the bike... even if you don't realise it

Stop being sensible

Ortlieb are sold singly in case you cannot afford a pair. Altura simply copied the trend
